Data from official source

Zendure SolarFlow 4000 Mix AC+ is a storage unit that's added to an existing rooftop solar system, keeping the inverter and most of the wiring already there: it connects in alternating current to a third-party solar inverter, without replacing it, and can return more energy to the home grid than a system within balcony solar limits does. The share it feeds back can be increased by having an electrician hardwire it, within what local regulations allow.

It recognizes a power outage on its own and switches to the battery to power the loads connected to its dedicated emergency outlet, both day and night; if the solar system is still producing at that moment, it keeps charging the battery even while the grid is down. It doesn't power the whole home: only what's plugged into the emergency outlet gets power. The emergency outlet can also be activated by hand, with a double click on the panel button, without going through the app or the internet.

It also charges and discharges based on the energy price, when the utility makes it known: it draws from the grid during the cheapest hours and returns the stored energy when it costs more. The wheels are for pushing it sideways: it isn't built to move the short way. It's for anyone who already has panels and wants a residential-sized battery without touching the existing system; anyone looking for a small balcony storage unit with no solar system of their own needs a different device, built for that scope.

03 · Summary

Pros and cons

In favour

  • When power fails it switches to the battery on its own, and the emergency outlet can also be turned on by hand, without the app or the internet.
  • It adds the battery to a system that's already there, working alongside its inverter instead of replacing it. source
  • It charges from the grid when energy costs less and returns the stored energy when it costs more.
  • It can stay outdoors, in a sheltered spot: the casing is built to withstand rain and splashes.

Worth knowing

  • It weighs as much as two adults: mounting or moving it isn't a one-person job. source
  • Feeding back more than 3 kW to the grid needs an electrician to hardwire it, within what local regulations allow.
  • During a blackout it only powers what's plugged into its emergency outlet, not the home's regular outlets.
