Zendure officially launched two new products this week: the Hyper 2000, which we presented in a full test yesterday, which optimizes energy storage in an intelligent way, and the ACE 1500, which is capable of ensuring the supply of electricity even in the event of a power cut.
SolarFlow Ace is a versatile accessory to Zendure's SolarFlow for on-grid and off-grid solutions. In fact, it's designed to meet backup power requirements for adventurous outings and emergency situations. Integrating seamlessly with Zendure's AB1000/2000 battery systems, the Ace offers unrivalled versatility and reliable backup power.
Versatile power for the home, even without power
The Ace's versatile design adapts seamlessly to provide reliable power both on and off the grid. Whether at home or outdoors, SolarFlow Ace guarantees access to reliable electricity in a variety of environments and lifestyles.
Like the Hyper seen yesterday, the ACE simply connects to the top of the AB1000 or AB2000 batteries:
However, it does not incorporate a microinverter. It therefore requires a Hub 1200 or 2000 coupled to a microinverter if you want to use it as part of a photovoltaic system with injection into the house. One to 4 batteries can then be used, for a capacity of up to 7.6kWh!
On the other hand, this ACE comes with mains sockets, as well as USB sockets, so you can connect various devices directly to it, with power ranging from 960w (with a single battery connected) to 1500w (with 2 batteries connected). And it's the only one to offer this!
So, in the event of a power cut, it's perfectly possible to plug in devices to power them. Unlike the Hyper, for example, which doesn't work at all in the absence of mains power. And with a recovery time of less than 20ms in the event of a power cut, it's perfectly capable of acting as an inverter to protect sensitive equipment.
It also inherits some of the Hyper's functions. For example, this ACE is also capable of charging Zendure batteries from the mains. This can be useful in winter, when there's not enough sunshine to keep the batteries at a minimum charge and improve their lifespan. It's also a good idea to charge batteries during off-peak hours, especially on the eve of a Tempo red day, to reduce daytime consumption the following day.
It can also charge itself from surplus production from another solar installation: by detecting an injection from the home, thanks to a Shelly Pro 3EM for example, it connects to the mains and charges its batteries.
Interesting detail: adding this ACE to a battery also adds an XT-60 port, enabling another 400w load to be added per solar panel, in addition to the Hub's inputs. So, with a Hub 2000 allowing 1800w of panels, the ACE, by adding 400w, brings the total to 2200w of load. Not to mention the mains connection, which can charge up to 2200w. In short, you'll be able to charge your batteries very quickly!
An adventure companion
By adding an ACE to a Solarflow battery, the SolarFlow becomes a powerful portable station for outdoor adventures, with a remarkable 10-year warranty on the battery, which to my knowledge is non-existent with competitors, who offer at best 5 to 7 years maximum. So you can take it with you wherever you go, whether camping, on remote sites, in a camper van, etc.
And its XT-60 port means it can even be recharged in nomadic mode using folding panels, for example. Seamlessly integrated, Ace provides reliable off-grid power to keep your equipment charged, making it the ideal companion for your wilderness escapades.
In short, with the ACE, the Solarflow system is responding to new needs, and even a new nomadic audience!
The ACE 1500 is on sale now for €499. I hope to be able to test it for you very soon ;-)
