China-based Zendure this week unveiled a new energy management system (EMS) that can optimize the combined operation of residential PV power generation, battery storage, grid and backup power, as well as heat pumps, EV chargers and smart home devices.
The device, called Powerhouse, is suitable for use in residential and small commercial applications. “It scales from a base of 8 kWh to 50 kWh per unit, or 150 kWh in multi-unit setups,” the company said in a statement. “Up to three SolarFlow Mix units can be connected to a single PowerHub, providing up to 12 kW of continuous power, enough for an entire household, including heat pumps and electric vehicle charging.”
The SolarFlow Mix is Zendure’s modular energy storage system for European solar households, combining battery storage, inverter functionality, solar input management, backup power and smart energy management software in a single platform.
PowerHub is available in both single-phase (1P) and three-phase (3P) configurations to suit residential networks in various European markets. The 3P model enables full three-phase charging of electric vehicles up to 22 kW. During outages, the 1P setup supports a single phase with one SolarFlow Mix unit, while the 3P setup protects all three phases via three synchronized units, the manufacturer said.
“During power outages, PowerHub powers the entire household, not just individual appliances, securing lights, refrigerators and internet while supporting heat pumps and EV chargers,” Zendure explains. “With a transfer time of 10 ms, it ensures that computers and sensitive medical devices continue to work uninterrupted. Black Start enables an independent restart after a complete blackout, using only solar energy. Even off the grid, EV charging remains available with up to 11 kW.”
The system supports up to 43 kW three-phase PV input, 14 kW single-phase PV input and 24 kW solar capacity via proprietary connections, while also remaining compatible with third-party solar panels. For EV integration, PowerHub is designed to work with Zendure’s upcoming bi-directional EVFlow AC charger, with ISO 15118-20 vehicle-to-grid (V2G) support.
Zendure said the new product is now available for pre-order, with deliveries scheduled for July 2026. Prices for the single-phase model start at €699 ($821) in Germany, €719 in France and other European markets, and €729 in the Netherlands.
