Can the Zendure SolarFlow 800 be used without a battery?
Yes the Zendure SolarFlow 800 is a smart microinverter that, together with solar panels, not only monitors solar power generation but also controls grid feed-in and power delivery to your home, even without a connected battery.
Can I install the Zendure SolarFlow 800 myself?
Yes, thanks to its plug-and-play design, the Zendure SolarFlow 800 Easy to install. Detailed installation instructions can be found in the video tutorials: Installation video for beginners; Complete installation video.
How does the Zendure SolarFlow 800 help save electricity costs?
The Zendure SolarFlow 800 Uses a 1200W MPPT controller and an 800W bidirectional inverter to store excess solar energy in a battery during the day and power your home with this stored electricity at night. This helps reduce your overall electricity costs. Thanks to the TOU (time-of-use) pricing model, the Zendure SolarFlow 800 automatically switches to battery power during expensive peak times and recharges the battery during cheaper off-peak times.
How do I choose the right solar modules for the Zendure SolarFlow 800?
Each MPPT input of the Zendure SolarFlow 800 Supports a maximum power of 600W with an open circuit voltage (Voc) below 55V. To ensure the best performance, we recommend solar modules with a power rating of up to 1,5 times the rated MPPT power.
Can the Zendure SolarFlow 800 be used with solar panels from other brands?
Yes, the Zendure SolarFlow 800 is compatible with solar panels from other brands, as long as the operating voltage is between 14V and 55V. It's important not to exceed the 55V limit to avoid damage.
Can I use low-power solar panels with the Zendure SolarFlow 800?
Yes, you can connect 2–3 solar modules (100 W–350 W each) in parallel to each solar connector of the Zendure SolarFlow 800 as long as the total voltage of the module field is between 14 V and 55 V.
Which batteries does the Zendure SolarFlow 800 support and what is the maximum battery capacity?
The Zendure SolarFlow 800 Supports the Zendure AB1000, AB2000, AB1000S, and AB2000S batteries. Up to six units of these batteries can be combined and stacked, allowing a total capacity of up to 11.520 Wh.
Can the Zendure SolarFlow 800 charge the battery via the household grid?
Yes, even in rain or fog the Zendure SolarFlow 800 active, but with reduced efficiency due to reduced solar power generation. Using batteries allows you to store excess solar energy or recharge it during off-peak times to ensure a continuous power supply.
How does the Zendure SolarFlow 800 distribute energy?
The Zendure SolarFlow 800 adjusts power output in real time based on load data from smart meters or smart sockets, as well as dynamic electricity pricing models. This ensures efficient energy management, minimizes energy waste, and reduces electricity costs.
What data can I view in the Zendure app?
In the Zendure App, you can view real-time generation data, historical statistics, battery state of charge (SOC), charge/discharge performance, and energy consumption of the Zendure SolarFlow 800 system.
Why does the Zendure SolarFlow 800 start automatically when connected to the mains and cannot be turned off manually?
The Zendure SolarFlow 800 must continuously monitor the grid status to comply with international and national safety standards. Even if the inverter is temporarily not feeding power into the grid, it remains in standby mode to check the grid status and automatically synchronize with the grid.
How does the Zendure SolarFlow 800 withstand high temperatures?
The Zendure SolarFlow 800 It features a cooling fin design that enables efficient heat dissipation. The aluminum housing also offers high corrosion resistance and increases the longevity of the device.
Is it normal for the Zendure SolarFlow 800 to heat up during operation?
Yes, it is normal that the Zendure SolarFlow 800 It heats up slightly during operation without affecting performance. The inverter is equipped with overheat protection, and we recommend keeping children and pets away.
What is the Zendure AB2000X and what is it used for?
The Zendure AB2000X is A modern LiFePO₄ battery, which stores excess solar energy as part of the SolarFlow system, enables the use of self-generated electricity even at night or during periods of low sunlight – for greater independence from the power grid.
Can the AB2000X also be operated in winter?
Yes, thanks to the automatic self-heating function, it can operate even at temperatures as low as -20°C. Ideal for year-round outdoor use.
