Zendure Unveils PowerHub: Europe's First Plug-in HEMS Hub Transforming Solar Homes into Energy Ecosystems
In an era where climate change and sustainable living are paramount, Zendure has introduced a groundbreaking product: the PowerHub. Launching in mid-2026, this device represents Europe's first plug-in Home Energy Management System (HEMS), designed specifically to elevate solar-energy homes into fully integrated energy ecosystems.
Unraveling Energy Management in Modern Homes
The PowerHub acts as the brain of the energy ecosystem, seamlessly coordinating various sources of energy, including solar panels, battery storage, grid electricity, and backup power, alongside controllable devices such as heat pumps and electric vehicle chargers. With its intelligent design, the PowerHub maximizes energy consumption according to real-time generation and demand. It enables users to harness the full potential of their solar systems, promising a sustainable and independent energy future.
Scalability Meets Flexibility
One of the standout features of the PowerHub is its scalability. Initially, users can start with a base configuration of 8 kWh, which can be expanded up to 150 kWh using multiple SolarFlow Mix units. This flexibility caters to a wide range of households—from single-family homes to small businesses—ensuring energy independence can be achieved regardless of size. PowerHub accommodates up to three SolarFlow Mix units, providing an impressive continuous power output of 12 kW, capable of powering everything from domestic appliances to heat pumps.
Cutting-edge Technology for Smart Homes
The PowerHub is built on Zendure’s open energy platform, ZEN+OS. Using its integrated AI capabilities, known as ZENKI AI, the system learns the household's energy usage patterns, adjusting operations based on variables like weather forecasts and electricity pricing. This intelligent orchestration allows households to effectively store energy during off-peak times and utilize it when it is most advantageous. Additionally, the PowerHub connects with various devices adhering to open standards widely used in the European energy sector, ensuring compatibility across a broad spectrum of smart home appliances and electric vehicles.
Energy Security and Backup Features
A major focus of the PowerHub is energy reliability. During outages, the device is capable of providing power not just to individual devices, but for the entire household. It boasts a switch-over time of approximately 10 milliseconds, which means that essential appliances—like refrigerators and internet routers—can continue functioning without interruption when battery power kicks in. Moreover, the Black Start feature enables the system to reboot after a total power loss, utilizing solar energy solely, thus maintaining self-sufficiency.
Simplified Installation and Cost Efficiency
By consolidating several functionalities into one unit, the PowerHub streamlines the installation process, reducing the complexity typically associated with setting up multiple energy management systems. This approach also lowers installation costs significantly—from €2,000–€3,500 down to just €300–€800. The efficient utilization of self-generated solar energy means that households can reduce their reliance on the grid, further decreasing electricity expenses.
The Pioneer Program and Future Availability
To celebrate the launch, Zendure is initiating a limited Pioneer Program for the first 1,000 customers in Europe who purchase two or more SolarFlow Mix units. These customers will receive the Zendure PowerHub for free—a unique opportunity to transform their homes into self-sufficient energy systems. The PowerHub is expected to be available starting from July 2026, at a price of €729 for the single-phase version in the Netherlands.
