Zendure AIO 2400
The market launch of the AIO 2400 comes at a time when the topic of balcony power plants is booming. Given current electricity prices, many consumers are looking for ways to reduce their energy costs.
At the same time, awareness of sustainable consumption is growing. A study by the German Solar Industry Association recently stated that almost 75 percent of German households could benefit from installing such a mini PV system.
Dual MPPT with 99% compatibility
However, so far the legislation only allows a maximum output of 600 watts per system. An increase to 800 watts, as applies in Austria, is currently being planned. Zendure is now stepping into exactly this gap with its AIO 2400 - because the all-in-one solution has two MPPTs that process a total output of up to 1200 watts.
According to the manufacturer, this means that enough solar power can be generated for the needs of an average household. In an exemplary configuration with an 800 watt microinverter and a 1.500 watt solar unit, Zendure calculates an annual saving of up to 642 euros.
A value that of course represents the optimum and in reality will be lower. Regardless of this, the use of temporarily stored electricity leads to direct cost savings that benefit the household and not the energy supplier.
2400 Wh storage and app control
The integrated lithium-ion storage has a capacity of 2,4 kilowatt hours and enables solar power to be used as needed. Unlike the Zendure SolarFlow system, there is no storage expansion option.
Users can monitor production and consumption via the Zendure app and the system can be supplemented with a Shelly CT for intelligent performance adjustment.
One-piece design, assembly without drilling
Zendure primarily advertises the particularly easy installation of the system. Thanks to the plug-and-play principle, even technical laypeople should be able to use the AIO 2400 without much effort. The solution also scores points with its tidy design, which is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use down to -20 °C.

Price and availability
Whether the AIO 2400 can ultimately prevail against the established competition from providers like E3/DC remains to be seen. With a price of 1.343 euros (*Amazon) the complete package is definitely not cheap. The first batch is also limited to 300 pieces. So interested parties have to hurry up.
