Zendure Launches PowerHub: A New Era in Home Energy Management
In a notable advancement for sustainable energy, Zendure has introduced its latest innovation, the
PowerHub, marking a significant milestone as Europe’s first plug-in Home Energy Management System (HEMS). This pioneering device transforms solar-powered homes into fully integrated energy ecosystems, thereby enhancing energy management and efficiency.
What is PowerHub?
The
PowerHub serves as a central control unit that synthesizes various energy resources, including solar power, battery storage, and grid energy. It orchestrates the energy flow to domestic appliances, ensuring that households can effectively manage their consumption. By linking controllable loads, such as heat pumps, electric vehicle chargers, and smart home devices, PowerHub maximizes energy use in a scalable manner.
Scalable Energy Solutions
PowerHub is designed to meet the growing energy demands of modern households. It offers energy storage capacities ranging from
8 kWh to 50 kWh per unit, and with multiple units connecting to a single PowerHub, total storage can reach
up to 150 kWh. This versatility makes it suitable for single-family homes, multi-generational households, and small businesses.
Available in both single-phase (1P) and three-phase (3P) configurations, it caters to diverse energy needs across countries like Germany, France, and the Netherlands. The 3P version delivers enhanced continuous power, enabling the simultaneous operation of high-demand appliances such as heat pumps and induction cooktops.
Power Management and Efficiency
At the heart of PowerHub's functionality is its integration with
ZEN+OS, Zendure's open energy platform. This system is governed by
ZENKI AI, an artificial intelligence that optimizes energy usage by learning from household behaviors, weather conditions, and electricity prices. This allows for intelligent decisions on when to store or use energy in real time.
PowerHub also works in conjunction with
ZenWave™, a service that facilitates dynamic pricing, allowing homes to trade energy effectively, thereby reducing electricity costs.
Technical Specifications
- - Energy Storage: Ranges from 8 kWh to 150 kWh (when using up to three SolarFlow Mix units).
- - Continuous Power Output: Up to 12 kW.
- - Solar Input Capacity: 24 kW (includes generation from third-party solar panels).
- - Electric Vehicle Charging: Up to 22 kW for three-phase models.
- - Backup Response Time: 10 ms, providing UPS-level functionality.
Comprehensive Backup Solutions
In the event of a power outage, PowerHub is built to supply energy to the entire household, ensuring essential functions such as lighting, refrigeration, and internet access remain uninterrupted. Notably, it has a
Black Start feature that allows it to reboot independently after a total blackout, solely utilizing solar energy.
Installation and Cost Efficiency
PowerHub simplifies installation by consolidating multiple energy management components into one architecture, thus reducing the number of interfaces required. Homes could see their electricity costs plummet by
88-91% with a typical PowerHub installation, potentially leading to annual savings ranging from €3,168 to €5,472 depending on specific configurations.
Pre-Order and Launch Information
For early adopters, Zendure is offering a unique promotion: the first 1,000 customers in Europe who purchase two or more SolarFlow 4000 Mix Pro or AC+ units will receive a PowerHub free of charge. Pre-orders are currently being accepted, with shipping expected to start in July 2026. Pricing begins at
€699 in Germany,
€719 in France, and
€729 in the Netherlands for the single-phase version.
