| Feature | Advantage |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 2.15 kWh, expandable to 8.6 kWh |
| Charge Cycles | Over 8,000 |
| PV Input | 1,600 W (2x MPPT) |
| Output | 1,920 W with bypass |
How does the Sunlit BK215 work?
The BK215 stores surplus solar energy during the day and releases it in the evening or at night. MPPT inputs optimize PV performance, while MC4 outputs supply power to the inverter. The app allows real-time monitoring of charge status and consumption. Excess solar power is fed directly into the battery, reducing grid injection, allowing households to achieve up to 70% self-consumption.
What are the technical specifications of the BK215?
The storage unit features 2.15 kWh capacity, 48V/43Ah, IP65 protection, and dimensions of 48x29x26 cm at 32.5 kg weight. Two PV inputs support up to 1,600 W, and outputs deliver up to 1,920 W. Expandable to 8.6 kWh with B215 modules, it supports up to 4 kW PV input, Wi-Fi app for remote control, and bypass function for continuous operation when fully charged.
How to install the Sunlit BK215?
Installation is simple: plug PV cables into the MPPT inputs, connect outputs to the inverter's MC4, plug in the power cord, and set up the app via QR code. No drilling or electrician needed. DRBO Greenenergy offers complete packages with mounting accessories for secure setup and quick commissioning.
Is the Sunlit BK215 compatible with all inverters?
Yes, the BK215 supports Sunlit, Deye, TSUN, Hoymiles (OpenDTU), and APsystems inverters. With EV3600 inverters, bidirectional use for wallboxes and dynamic tariffs is also possible. MC4 connectors are standard, adapters are available if needed. DRBO Greenenergy tests all combinations for seamless operation.
How to expand the Sunlit BK215?
Up to three additional B215 batteries can be connected to increase capacity to 8.6 kWh. Modules are simply stacked and wired. Automatic balancing ensures optimal performance, and costs per kWh decrease with increasing capacity, making the storage unit future-proof.
What savings does the BK215 bring?
With the BK215, up to 70% self-consumption can be achieved. For an annual consumption of 4,000 kWh, the system pays for itself in 3-5 years. Annual savings range from 500 to 1,200 €, depending on PV power and consumption. By storing electricity at self-consumption prices instead of feeding it into the grid, households benefit from high long-term economic efficiency.
| Scenario | Annual Savings | Amortization |
|---|---|---|
| 2 kWp + BK215 | €600 | 3 years |
| Expanded 8.6 kWh | €1,200 | 4 years |
