Chinese manufacturer Mova is entering a competitive small-scale energy storage field, known for its kitchen appliances and growing robotic home goods, including vacuum cleaners and more.
By ESS news
A relative newcomer to the home appliance sector is Chinese appliance manufacturer Mova, which together with its subsidiary Dreame has a wide range of kitchen appliances and robots, ranging from robot vacuum cleaners to lawn mowers to pool cleaners and more, which it offers under the slogan of intelligent home living. Bee CES 2026some of the largest stands on display ESS news were the Mova and Dreame stands, taking up a huge floor space at both main conference venues, with Dreame even launching an electric hypercar.
Now Mova is joining the ranks of residential energy storage, offering solar-plus-storage as a newcomer, with the launch this week of the LumeGret A2000 and A4000 all-in-one solar and storage options.
As companies with existing and new balcony solar systems and large-scale residential PV systems continue to add more storage for both self-consumption, cost savings and energy security, it is already a highly competitive market.
Just in the past few weeks, Anchor Solix launched a new Solarbank storage product with a promise to ESS News that more will follow, Zendure launched its new SolarFlow products Just in February, EcoFlow gained new options through the launch of EcoFlow Ocean 2 plus its existing products. Jackery has just launched its new SolarVault 3 range, among others, all competing in smart solar and storage on and around the balcony, at the level of small and medium residential energy storage.
Now Mova ends up somewhere in the middle with two options.
LumeGret A4000, A2000
The LumeGret A4000, also called AI-powered plug-and-play, is a 4 kWh LFP-type hybrid unit, expandable up to 20 kWh, with a bi-directional hybrid inverter supporting up to 3.6 kW of solar PV input, charging from the grid, and providing AC power of up to 2.5 kW. Mova says it offers up to 10,000 charge cycles, a 20-year design life and a 10-year warranty, and can seamlessly switch to backup mode instead of a standalone storage device in the event of a power outage.
The A2000 is the same idea, with a lower capacity battery and inverter. Storage ranging from 1.92 kWh to 9.6 kWh. It provides an AC power of 1.5 kW via the bidirectional inverter. One feature of the A2000 is an increased safety feature, with an apparent four-layer safety protection system for the battery, including aerosol fire suppression. Mova did not provide a photo of the A2000.
AI claims
One differentiator Mova is pushing is what it calls LumeGret Orbit, an AI rate optimization tool that can attempt to both optimize usage and predict future usage. Mova says it monitors and predicts solar power generation, battery status, home load and grid power, while still allowing users to customize operating modes, set backup reserves and optimize solar energy use. Another factor is smart rate optimization across a wide range of providers, and compatibility with smart meters and third-party ecosystems such as Shelly via app.
Ultimately, most competitors of Mova products coming to market in 2026 have claimed similar functionality, including adapting systems to weather and dynamic rates, where available. The competition will then be about the quality of AI, ease of use, service and support, and how attractive the products are, both in terms of design, implementation and over the months and years.
Yet Mova has another trick with the LumeGret that has not yet been mentioned by competitors: a direct EV charging concept. The company says something it calls FluxCharge “enables adaptive solar EV charging by dynamically adjusting charging power based on real-time PV output.” The company says this prioritizes clean solar energy for maximum efficiency with a 2.5 kW charging power that aims for maximum charging during “optimal sunlight”.
Price, availability
Mova said at the launch in Hamburg, Germany that the new LumeGret series lineup will be rolled out across Europe “in the second quarter of 2026,” with entry price expected to start at “approximately €1,000 ($1,178).”
