Get more out of your solar panels - even after 2027
Do you have solar panels and want to really get the most out of the power you generate yourself? Then now is the moment to prepare for the future. As of 1 January 2027, the net metering scheme will disappear and you'll no longer be able to offset the power you feed back one-to-one against your consumption. From then on, you'll only receive a feed-in compensation, which until 2029 will be at least 50% of the bare supply rate. In other words: those who make smart moves now will benefit the most later.
Meet Zendure
Zendure is a relatively young but fast-growing EnergyTech startup (founded in 2017) with headquarters in Silicon Valley, China, Japan and Germany. What sets them apart is their mission to make reliable, affordable and sustainable energy solutions accessible to households worldwide. From portable SuperBase stations to innovative balcony storage like the SolarFlow 800 Pro and 2400 AC, Zendure focuses on smart, practical products. Their recent "Top Innovation Award 2025" underlines their leadership in balcony PV storage in Europe.
Plug & Play convenience
A major advantage of Zendure is that both systems are designed so you can use them without complicated installation. With a home battery you avoid unnecessary feed-in costs and make the most of your solar panels, both now and after 2027.
- SolarFlow 2400 AC: ideal if you already have a rooftop installation. Simply plug it into the wall outlet and expand up to 17.3 kWh of storage. Perfect for absorbing high peaks and lowering your energy bill.
- SolarFlow 800 Pro: the truest plug & play home battery. An all-in-one set with built-in inverter and battery, specially designed for balcony or small rooftop panels. Perfect if you want to start small or get going right away without an electrician.

Zendure SolarFlow 2400 AC - expandable storage for rooftop installations
This system is ideal for anyone who already has solar panels on the roof. You simply plug it into the wall outlet, keeping your current inverter.
How charging works:
The 2400 AC is AC-coupled. The power from your rooftop inverter first flows into your home grid. The SolarFlow then converts this alternating current into direct current to charge the batteries.
How discharging works:
- When does it use the battery? The 2400 AC monitors live via a smart meter (including P1 for NL). If it sees that your household needs grid power and the battery has enough charge, it discharges exactly the requested power (e.g. 600 W demand = 600 W from the battery). If it detects feed-in instead, it stops discharging and starts charging.
- Power limits: 800 W plug-and-play by default. For up to 2,400 W, have an electrician place the unit on a separate circuit; after that you can request/enable this in the app.
- Backup power (UPS): During a power outage, the SolarFlow 2400 AC switches over to the dedicated off-grid output almost instantly. Within about 15 milliseconds the battery takes over and the connected equipment keeps running. Through this backup power circuit the system delivers up to 2,400 watts continuously and can absorb short peaks of 3,600 watts (up to 10 seconds), for example when starting up a fridge or another appliance with a high inrush power. At the same time, the unit automatically stops feeding back to the electricity grid, as legally required for safe operation.
Expansion:
You can start with one AB3000X battery of 2.88 kWh and expand up to six modules, good for 17.28 kWh of total storage. Charging and discharging is possible up to 2,400 W, with a grid discharge default of 200–800 W (adjustable via the app after a safety check).

Zendure SolarFlow 800 Pro - all-in-one for balcony and small roof
Specially developed for smaller installations such as balcony panels or a small roof. This compact set contains both an inverter and a battery, and connects directly via DC to your solar panels for maximum efficiency.
How charging works:
The 800 Pro has four separate MPPT inputs, so each string is tracked individually for optimal yield. Each input works from 14 to 55 V with a max. of 18 A, good for a total of 2,640 W of PV input (4× 660 W). During the day the direct current goes straight to the internal battery and any expansion batteries. If there's consumption in the home, it feeds up to 800 W continuously back to your grid. When the battery is full, it automatically switches to bypass, so the sun powers your home directly.
Even without sun, the 800 Pro can charge from the mains, for example at night during low rates (max. 1,000 W AC charging power). In addition, it has a backup power output of 1,000 W continuous (1,400 W peak).
How discharging works:
- When does it use the battery? The 800 Pro is DC-coupled to your panels and manages self-consumption. Via smart meters/plugs and rate data it chooses when to discharge; when there's demand in the home it feeds up to 800 W back to your grid (grid-tied).
- Power channels: Grid-tied output: max 800 W to your home/grid.
- Backup power outlet: 1,000 W continuous (1,200 W peak for 10 s). During a grid outage it switches over in ≈15 ms for the appliances connected to this outlet. If you combine grid-tied and off-grid at the same time, keep in mind a total limit of 1,000 W.
- Control & protection: the 800 Pro can schedule charging/discharging based on dynamic rates and maintains a minimum SOC reserve to protect the battery; this is adjustable via the app.
Expansion:
The 800 Pro starts with 1.92 kWh of storage and can be expanded to 11.52 kWh with five additional AB2000X modules. These LiFePO₄ batteries have a long lifespan (≥ 6,000 cycles), are IP65 waterproof and charge/discharge quickly: one AB2000X can deliver ± 1,680 W, two or more together ± 1,920 W.

Smart energy management with HEMS
Both systems work with Zendure's Home Energy Management System (HEMS). Via ZENKI, a self-learning AI model, your energy consumption is continuously optimised. This way you charge at times when the electricity price is low or the sun is shining abundantly, and discharge during expensive moments. This can save up to 42% on your energy bill.
Why choose Zendure SolarFlow?
- Simple installation without drastic modifications
- Intelligent energy management based on real-time data
- Reliable backup power function during outages
- Durable LiFePO₄ batteries with a long lifespan
- Weatherproof IP65 housing for outdoor use
Ready for the future
The abolition of the net metering scheme makes it more important than ever to use the power you generate yourself. With a Zendure SolarFlow system you make the most of your solar panels, stay in control of your energy costs and increase your independence, both now and after 2027.
