Zendure Hyper 2000 Review: What the New Hybrid Inverter Can Do

With the Zendure Hyper 2000, the manufacturer of the same name offers a new innovative hybrid inverter for plug-in solar paneles and solar installations. Its most notable feature is its bidirectional charging capability, making the Zendure Hyper 2000 particularly well suited to dynamic electricity rates, allowing the battery to be charged or discharged based on the current price of electricity.

Zendure Hyper 2000: Design and Installation

The Zendure Hyper 2000 has a minimalist and elegant design. The front panel features a control button and a LED light bar. The rear panel has a mains connection and four inputs for connecting PV modules. A matching Zendure battery can be connected via the connector on the bottom of the device. The Zendure Hyper 2000 therefore also offers a simple plug-and-play system for connection. It weighs 8.5 kg and measures 350 × 202 × 78 mm. It can be seamlessly connected to Zendure batteries to form plug-and-play storage. Compared to most batteries currently available on the market, it is smaller and more flexible.

To install it, simply remove the protective cover from the battery connection on the underside, connect the additional Zendure battery (Zendure AB1000 or Zendure AB2000X) and plug the Hyper 2000 into a household power outlet using the supplied power cable. Finally, connect the solar modules to the system. You can find more details on the connection diagram in the user manual.

Cutting-edge technology in the Zendure Hyper 2000

The Zendure Hyper 2000 features cutting-edge technology that completely redefines how solar energy is stored in the home. Efficiency is clearly at the forefront, both in terms of performance and cost.

Modular Design with Plug-and-Play

With the hybrid inverter, Zendure continues its concept of simple plug-and-play installation. Even for non-experts, installation is extremely simple, providing low-level access to renewable energy. Installation does not require an electrician or a permit.

Easily configurable - and expandable

The Zendure Hyper 2000 can be customised to meet individual energy needs. Each system offers 1,200 watts of power, which can both draw energy from the grid and supply energy to the home. It has 1,800 watts of MPPT power and supports a solar module with a maximum power of 2,400 watts. The storage battery connected to the Hyper 2000 can hold up to 7.68 kWh, providing each household with sufficient storage capacity.

Secure and reliable communication with ZenLink

The Hyper system features ZenLink communication technology, which ensures safe and reliable operation. ZenLink enables automatic networking and coordination of multiple Hyper sets within the same phase and limits the total power of multiple installations to 1800 watts. This guarantees optimal power distribution with maximum safety.

Worth knowing: The power and MPPT capacity increase with the number of Hyper 2000 kits used in the same phase. Example: with three systems, you get an MPPT power of 5400 watts (3 x 1800 watts). In terms of storage capacity, it would be possible in this case to reach 23.04 kWh.

Advanced cost optimisation via TOU

The bidirectional AC load capacity of 1200 watts allows you to take advantage of dynamic electricity rates. You can charge it when the price of grid electricity is low and use it when the price is high. By actively monitoring energy prices for the coming periods and the following day, the Hyper 2000 system ensures maximum savings and thus enables maximum transparency and cost optimisation.

Up to 1200 watts of individually adjustable power

With the help of a smart meter (Shelly Plug and Pro 3EM), the Hyper 2000 system can minimise energy injection into the electricity grid and thus maximise or optimise self-consumption. The Hyper 2000 offers a wide range of individual AC output power settings. It is possible to choose between 30 and 1200 watts, adjustable in 1-watt increments for precise energy management, with a fast response time of less than 3 seconds.

Zendure Hyper 2000: Application setup and installation

The energy management system can be monitored and managed using the Zendure app, which offers real-time current monitoring, history logs, charge/discharge times, and other features.

Application configuration - how it works:

• •  Step 1 : Install the Zendure app and sign up or log in.
• •  Step 2 : Add the Zendure Hyper 2000 by following the instructions.
• •  Step 3 : Create an energy plan. Zendure offers three options: Planning, Time Control, Smart and Optimised based on electricity prices.

Zendure Energy Plan - Time Control

In time control mode, you can adjust the output power of the inverter for a certain period of time based on your household's energy consumption habits. For example, if energy demand increases at night, the power fed into the domestic grid is automatically increased according to the schedule.

Zendure Energy Plan - Smart

Smart mode allows dynamic control of the Hyper 2000's charging and discharging based on sensor data. This is possible, for example, via smart plugs such as the Shelly Pro 3EM. Thanks to Smart mode, the Zendure Hyper 2000 can also feed solar energy into the home grid based on the power consumption of certain devices, while the remaining power continues to be supplied and stored in the battery. This ensures optimal use of solar energy.

• •  Smart Plug: Adjusts the Hyper 2000's power output in real time based on total consumption (not all devices).
• •   Smart CT: Adjust the Hyper 2000's power output in real time based on real-time consumption monitored by the Smart CT (all household appliances).

Zendure Energy Plan - Electricity Prices

The “electricity price” mode allows you to dynamically control the Hyper 2000's charge based on the current electricity price. This mode is particularly attractive for users with a dynamic electricity tariff. Set a maximum or minimum target price to control the battery charge based on these values. This means that the battery output power is increased when the price is high, while it is reduced when the price is low and the AC function is used to recharge the battery with electricity from the grid.

FAQs about the Zendure Hyper 2000

Can the Hyper 2000 be plugged directly into a domestic power socket?

Yes, the Hyper 2000 has received the CERTIFICATION of VFR 2019, which means that the Zendure Hyper 2000 can be plugged directly into any standard domestic socket.

How many solar panels can be connected to the Hyper 2000?

The Hyper 2000 provides connections for 4 solar connectors and can be connected to a maximum of 4 groups of solar panels. Specific wiring diagrams can be found in the user manual.

Who is the Zendure Hyper 2000 intended for?

The Zendure Hyper 2000 is suitable for the following users:

• •  Those who wish to install or have already installed a plug-in solar paneles and no longer wish to use an additional inverter thanks to the integrated inverter. At the same time, the 1200 W bidirectional charging and discharging function allows you to take advantage of dynamic electricity prices and achieve additional savings on electricity costs.
• •  For those who have already installed photovoltaic panels on their roof, Zendure's plug-and-play solution allows for quick installation without the need to rewire circuits. At the same time, ZenLink's automatic multi-set networking feature enables 5400W MPPT power and 23.04kWh storage capacity. The Hyper 200 thus offers an innovative single-phase multi-set solution with AC coupling.

What is the difference between Zendure Hub 2000 and Zendure Hyper 2000?

The Zendure Hub 2000 is essentially a smart energy management system for photovoltaic installations. As the central component, the hub connects the micro-inverter to the battery storage system and ensures the efficient distribution of the solar energy obtained. The Zendure Hyper, on the other hand, is a photovoltaic hub with an integrated inverter, capable of directly converting the energy produced by the plug-in solar paneles.

Is there a forum for Zendure Hyper 2000?

Currently, there is no official group for the Zendure Hyper 2000. You can join the Zendure Facebook group to connect with other users and learn about and share information on the latest developments.

Is Zendure credible?

Yes! Zendure is credible. Zendure was founded in 2017 and is one of the fastest-growing start-ups in the field of renewable energy and solar solutions.

What is the origin of Zendure?
