New Home Battery Powers Entire House During Blackouts
A Chinese company just launched an energy system that keeps your lights, fridge, and even EV charger running when the power goes out. The setup combines solar panels, batteries, and smart management to give homeowners true energy independence.
Imagine never worrying about a blackout again, even while charging your electric car or running your heat pump.
Zendure unveiled a new home energy system this week that could change how families power their lives. The Powerhouse system combines rooftop solar, battery storage, and smart management to keep entire households running during outages and slash electricity bills year-round.
The system starts at 8 kWh of storage and scales up to 150 kWh for larger homes or small businesses. That's enough to power a full household, including heavy users like heat pumps and EV chargers, delivering up to 12 kW of continuous output.
What makes this different from basic backup batteries is how fast it kicks in. When the grid fails, Powerhouse switches to battery power in just 10 milliseconds. That's quick enough to keep computers and medical devices running without interruption.
The system even restarts itself after complete blackouts using only solar energy, no grid connection needed. Homeowners can still charge their electric vehicles at up to 11 kW even when completely off-grid.
The Bright Side: This technology represents a major step toward affordable energy independence for regular families. While rooftop solar has been around for years, combining it with smart storage and whole-home backup at this price point makes resilient power accessible to more people.
The system works with both single-phase and three-phase home electrical setups across different European markets. The three-phase model even supports full-speed EV charging at 22 kW, matching public charging stations.
Zendure designed Powerhouse to handle up to 43 kW of solar panel input and work alongside existing solar arrays from other manufacturers. The company plans to add bidirectional charging, letting electric vehicles feed power back to the home during outages.
Pre-orders start at €699 (about $821) in Germany, with delivery scheduled for July 2026. That pricing makes whole-home backup competitive with simpler battery systems that only power a few circuits.
As extreme weather and aging grids make power outages more common, solutions that keep families safe and comfortable are arriving right on time.
