Zendure Unveils SolarFlow 800 Micro-Inverter
Zendure, a rapidly expanding EnergyTech company, has made headlines with the introduction of the SolarFlow 800 micro-inverter, a plug-and-play solution boasting an output of 800 watts. This innovative device is tailored for energy storage as well as real-time electricity generation, aiming to make energy access more practical and affordable for users. The SolarFlow 800 addresses the pressing need for effective energy solutions in varying atmospheric conditions, thereby enhancing overall efficiency.
Key Features of the SolarFlow 800
This micro-inverter combines both the inverter and central controller in a compact unit, ensuring seamless compatibility with standard solar modules and battery systems. It features two MPPT connections at 600 watts each, allowing for optimized energy production, even in suboptimal weather. Whether it's a cloudy day or early morning, users can enjoy significantly improved energy harvesting capabilities. One of its standout features is the ability to charge batteries directly, storing excess energy for later use, particularly advantageous during peak consumption times. The efficiency it offers is up to 10% greater than traditional AC-coupled systems, primarily owing to its impressive MPPT-AC storage efficiency rate of 96%. This enables users to utilize energy in the most effective manner.
Intelligent Protection and Control
The SolarFlow 800 incorporates an intelligent discharge protection system, allowing users to set discharge limits via the Zendure app. This system safeguards the battery from deep discharges by drawing power from the grid when its capacity dips below 5%. As a result, the lifespan of the battery is significantly extended. Moreover, the device’s rapid-response communication technology allows it to adjust power output dynamically in as little as three seconds. Users can fine-tune output power in one-watt increments, prioritizing self-consumption over excess energy distribution.
Cost Savings with Smart Tariffs
The bidirectional AC charging capability of the SolarFlow 800 enables users to optimize energy costs by leveraging time-of-use pricing. With advanced integrations of Nord Pool's anticipated wholesale pricing and real-time retail rates from Rabot Charge, users can store energy when prices are low and utilize it during peak pricing times. This strategic approach effectively reduces electricity bills and shortens return on investment.
As part of Zendure's smart energy ecosystem, the SolarFlow 800 is compatible with Shelly Pro 3EM and everHome EcoTracker, offering users a comprehensive energy management experience. Designed for both new and existing users, it promises fast returns on investment, flexible storage solutions, and hassle-free installation. With a conversion efficiency of 96%, it represents a cost-effective and sustainable electricity generation alternative.
