Core Technology B215 Storage

The B215 Storage uses LiFePO4 batteries with BMS for overcharge protection and temperature management. Two MPPT trackers per module optimize PV input up to 800W, and a bypass function ensures flexibility. App monitoring provides real-time data on charge status and yield, with WLAN/Bluetooth.

Performance parameters include 1920W output and 8000+ cycles at 20-80% DoD. Compared to older models, the Plus version offers improved heat dissipation and cell design for cold weather.

Application Examples B215 Storage

A tenant with two 400W modules expanded to BK215 + B215 and increased self-consumption from 40% to 85%, saving 350 euros annually. A family uses three B215 units for 8.6 kWh, covering evening loads and achieving ROI in 4 years.

User Story: "After adding the B215, everything runs smoothly, even in winter – great support," according to customer reviews. Factories integrate it into microgrids to reduce costs.

B215 Storage Buying Guide

If needed, choose B215 over 2 kWh, check compatibility with Deye inverters. Consider 0% VAT and subsidies. For tenants: Plug-and-play without an electrician. Test the app before purchasing.
