Zendure entered the UK market later than Anker and EcoFlow but with a product that addresses something neither competitor offers: genuine scalability in a plug-in format. The SolarFlow Hub 2000 isn't just a battery — it's a modular storage platform that can grow with your needs.
What makes it different
The Hub 2000 accepts up to four AB2000 battery packs in parallel, giving a maximum capacity of 7.68kWh. For context, the average UK household uses around 8–10kWh per day — a fully expanded SolarFlow could store enough solar generation to supply a significant portion of a day's consumption.
Home Assistant integration
Zendure's local API support is a genuine differentiator. The Hub 2000 exposes a local MQTT endpoint that Home Assistant can consume directly, giving you full automation control over charge/discharge schedules. For Agile users running HA automations, this is the most capable plug-in storage system available.
The Hub also supports AC charging from the grid, meaning on Octopus Agile you can charge during sub-5p overnight windows and discharge during peak periods. That functionality is normally only available with whole-home hybrid inverter systems.
The verdict
The right choice if you want expandable plug-in storage, plan to use Home Assistant for automation, or want AC grid charging during cheap-rate windows. More complex than the Anker Solarbank. More capable than the Anker Solarbank.
