Detailed overview: Compact Zendure 8 kWh home battery, AC-coupled, mobile format
The Zendure SolarFlow 3000 Mix AC+ is the entry-level model in the new SolarFlow Mix range, which merges home storage, the simplicity of balcony systems and the flexibility of a mobile station. It targets a household of around 2 people with an annual consumption around 3000 kWh, and positions itself as both a compact residential solution and a semi-mobile energy station.
Unlike the SolarFlow 4000 Mix AC+ and Mix Pro, its 8000 watt-hour lithium iron phosphate battery is not expandable: it is a fixed capacity, designed to cover the daily needs of a small household without added installation complexity. A dedicated input accepts the output of an existing PV inverter directly (Huawei, SMA, Fronius, Enphase, SolarEdge, Sungrow and most other brands according to Zendure), up to 3000 watts. Bidirectional power reaches 3000 watts on charge and discharge.
Stated round-trip efficiency is 90%, and the unit is rated for 10000 cycles down to 70% remaining capacity, roughly 15 years of service based on two full cycles a day, backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty. During a power cut, an off-grid output delivers 3680 watts continuously and up to 7200 watts at peak, with an automatic 10-15 ms switchover.
The IP65-rated metal enclosure operates from -20 to +55°C, with a stated noise level of around 25 dB at half load, and stays mounted on castors to ease moving despite its 80 kg. Control runs through HEMS 2.0 and the ZenKi 2.0 AI, with LAN, RS485, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication. For a household with larger or growing needs, the SolarFlow 4000 Mix AC+ offers higher power and capacity expandable up to 50 kWh.

Comparison
How does the Zendure SolarFlow 3000 Mix AC+ compare with other entry-level home batteries, for searches like "cheap home solar battery 8 kWh"? Here is how it stacks up against two references already in the catalogue: its bigger sibling the SolarFlow 4000 Mix AC+, and the Growatt NOAH 2000, a more modest but well-established balcony battery.
| Criterion | SolarFlow 3000 Mix AC+ | SolarFlow 4000 Mix AC+ | Growatt NOAH 2000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 8000 Wh (fixed) | 8000 Wh, expandable to 50 kWh | 2048 Wh, expandable to 8192 Wh |
| Bidirectional power | 3000 W | 4000 W (5000 W in bypass) | Separate microinverter required |
| Solar input | 3000 W (inverter) | 5000 W (inverter) | 1800 W (2 MPPT) |
| Mobility | Yes, on castors | No, fixed | No, fixed |
| Observed price | €1999 | €2399 | ≈ €389 |
In short, the SolarFlow 3000 Mix AC+ positions itself as a compromise between a large fixed 8 kWh capacity and a degree of mobility thanks to its castors, a unique profile against the notably cheaper but much more modest NOAH 2000. Against its own bigger sibling, the 4000 Mix AC+, it loses power and expandability but gains price accessibility. For a stable two-person household with no plans to grow the installation, it is a solid entry point into large-capacity home storage.

Our tester's review: Julien De Jurquet
The SolarFlow 3000 Mix AC+ plays the simplicity card within the Mix range: a fixed 8000 Wh capacity with no expansion option, but a notably more accessible price than its two bigger siblings and a format designed to be moved more easily thanks to its castors. It is the best-suited model for a two-person household or semi-mobile use (small business, workshop, cabin). Its 3680 W off-grid output with a 7200 W peak remains generous for this entry segment, and the fast 10-15 ms switchover protects sensitive electronics during an outage. The most obvious limitation remains the lack of capacity expansion: for a household whose needs might grow, the 4000 Mix AC+ or Mix Pro offer more headroom. For a first step into home storage with stable consumption, it is a solid entry point within a well-thought-out product family.
Frequently asked questions: Compact Zendure 8 kWh home battery, AC-coupled, mobile format
No, unlike the SolarFlow 4000 Mix AC+ and Mix Pro, its 8000 Wh capacity is fixed and cannot be expanded with additional modules.
It is mounted on castors to ease moving, but at around 80 kg it remains primarily designed for semi-fixed installation (small business, workshop, holiday home) rather than daily nomadic use.
Yes, a dedicated input accepts the output of an existing PV inverter directly, up to 3000 watts, without replacing the inverter or rewiring.
The off-grid output delivers 3680 watts continuously and up to 7200 watts at peak, with a 10-15 ms switchover, enough to cover most essential needs of a small household.
The 4000 Mix AC+ offers higher bidirectional power (4000 W versus 3000 W) and, crucially, capacity expandable up to 50 kWh, versus a fixed 8000 Wh capacity for the 3000 Mix AC+. The latter remains around €400 cheaper in return.
