Introducing Zendure PowerHub: The First Plug-in HEMS Hub in Europe

Zendure PowerHub: A New Era for Home Energy Management

In a groundbreaking announcement made on May 11, 2026, Zendure introduced the PowerHub, a pioneering innovation aiming to revolutionize home energy management. This centralized control unit is the latest addition to the SolarFlow Mix series and is touted as Europe's first plug-in Home Energy Management System (HEMS) hub designed to connect solar energy, battery storage, grid power, and smart appliances seamlessly.

A Comprehensive Approach to Energy Management

As more households adopt photovoltaic (PV) systems, heat pumps, and electric vehicles, the need for advanced energy management solutions is becoming critical. The PowerHub is an intelligent node within the home’s energy ecosystem that coordinates energy flows in real-time, enhancing self-consumption and optimizing energy use.

The scalability of the PowerHub is impressive. Initially, households can start with a basic configuration featuring an 8 kWh storage capacity. As their energy needs grow, users can expand their systems to accommodate up to 150 kWh using up to three SolarFlow Mix units. With the ability to provide sustained power of up to 12 kW, the PowerHub is suitable for diverse household types, from single-family homes to multi-generational residences and even small commercial operations.

Flexible and User-Friendly Design

The PowerHub comes in both single-phase (1P) and three-phase (3P) versions, engineered to align with the common electrical standards in Germany, France, and the Netherlands. The three-phase model boasts higher sustained power output and supports rapid charging of electric vehicles at rates of up to 22 kW.

With a swift switch time of around 10 milliseconds, the PowerHub ensures uninterrupted power supply to essential circuits like lighting and refrigeration during outages. This backup capability is further enhanced by the unit's ability to restart independently post-blackout using solar energy alone, maintaining household energy independence even in extended failures.

Intelligent Energy Management Powered by AI

Central to the PowerHub's functionality is Zendure's ZEN+OS platform, controlled by ZENKI AI. This AI-driven system dynamically adjusts energy use based on household consumption patterns, weather data, and electricity prices. Coupled with ZenWave™, a dynamic pricing service, households can automatically trade energy at market rates to further reduce costs.

Integration capabilities extend to electric vehicle chargers, heat pumps, and smart-home devices, supporting open standards such as SG-Ready, EEBus, OCPP, and VPP-ready protocols. These features allow seamless communication between various components of the energy ecosystem, enhancing efficiency and performance.

Cost-Effective Installation and Economic Benefits

The PowerHub’s design integrates multiple functions into one unit, minimizing installation complexity while maximizing the overall system efficiency. This modular approach not only optimizes the use of generated solar power but also reduces reliance on the grid, leading to significant cost savings. According to Zendure, households using a PowerHub-based system can reduce energy costs by up to 91%, potentially saving over €5,472 annually with the right configuration.

Limited Pioneer Program Launch

In an effort to accelerate adoption, Zendure is launching a limited Pioneer Program, offering the first 1,000 customers in Europe who purchase two or more SolarFlow Mix units a complimentary PowerHub. Information regarding participation is available on Zendure’s official website.

Availability and Future Outlook

The PowerHub is set to launch in July 2026 with a price starting at €599 in Germany for the single-phase version. As Zendure continues to push the boundaries of home energy management, the introduction of the PowerHub marks a significant milestone towards a more efficient, sustainable, and resilient future for households across Europe.
