Zendure Pairs PowerHub With Mix Battery Series for Cloud-Free Whole-Home Backup
Eric Zhang, Product Director at Zendure, walks through the company's new PowerHub and SolarFlow Mix battery lineup at The smarter E Europe 2026 in Munich. Zhang, who oversees sales and operations, explains how the ecosystem combines on-grid and off-grid power, EV charging, and metering into a single installation.
PowerHub: One Installation for On-Grid and Off-Grid
The PowerHub combines a breaker with load protection, a built-in meter, and a LAN port in one enclosure. According to Eric Zhang, Product Director at Zendure, batteries connect directly to the hub through a plug-in design, and up to three Mix units can be paralleled without additional wiring work. Zhang also described integration with home EV chargers through the same hub, which removes the need for a second installation pass. The hub works in both power-off and on-grid situations, with wired LAN or cable connections available depending on site conditions.
Mix Series: Three SKUs for Different Budgets
The SolarFlow 4000 Mix Pro pairs 8,000W of PV input with a 4,000W inverter and 8,000Wh of battery capacity, expandable to 50 kWh of storage. Zhang said this configuration can cover close to a week of household energy needs. The SolarFlow 4000 Mix AC+ shares the same inverter rating but decouples PV input from the battery, allowing AC coupling with an existing home inverter without new installation work. Zhang noted that the Mix AC+ also supports a flexible price policy. Owners can charge the battery when grid prices are low and discharge it back to the home when prices spike, and Zhang put the possible savings at up to 75%. The entry-level SolarFlow 3000 Mix AC+ drops the inverter to 3,000W and removes battery extension capability in exchange for a lower price.

PV In and Cloud-Free Reliability
Zhang called out PV In as a feature unique to these models. Homeowners with an existing inverter can connect it directly by AC cable to the Mix battery, so that inverter keeps working during a power outage. For larger existing inverters, Zhang said the same result can be reached by connecting through the PowerHub, forming a complete ecosystem with the Mix series that transfers power from grid to battery automatically. Zhang also pointed to the built-in meter inside the breaker, which removes the need for a separate metering install. The system supports both cable and wireless LAN connections between battery and hub, and Zhang said it continues to communicate and run smoothly even if the cloud connection goes down.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Zendure PowerHub designed to do?
According to Eric Zhang, Product Director at Zendure, the PowerHub delivers both on-grid and off-grid power for an entire house through one installation. It bundles a breaker with load protection, a meter, and a LAN port, and batteries plug in directly without extra wiring.
How does the SolarFlow 4000 Mix Pro differ from the Mix AC+?
Both share the same 4,000W inverter rating, but Zhang explained that the Mix AC+ decouples PV input from the battery so it can AC couple with an existing home inverter. The Mix Pro instead handles 8,000W of PV input directly alongside its 8,000Wh battery.
What savings does the flexible price policy offer?
Zhang said homeowners can charge the battery when grid electricity is cheap and discharge it back to the home when prices rise. He put maximum cost savings from this arbitrage at up to 75%.
What does the PV In feature do during a power outage?
Zhang described PV In as a direct AC-cable link between an existing home inverter and the Mix battery, keeping that inverter functional when the grid goes down. For larger inverters, the same outcome is achieved by connecting through the PowerHub instead.
Does the Zendure system require an internet connection to function?
No. Zhang stated that the system communicates between battery and hub over cable or wireless LAN, and keeps running smoothly even if the cloud connection is unavailable.
Why choose the entry-level SolarFlow 3000 Mix AC+?
Zhang positioned it as a lower-cost option, with the inverter limited to 3,000W and no battery extension capability. It suits buyers who prioritize price over the expandability of the 4,000W models.
