How does the SunEnergyXT EV3600 work?

The EV3600 converts DC from solar panels to AC and charges storage bidirectionally via the grid. It dynamically adapts to PV generation and consumption.

The SunEnergyXT EV3600 revolutionizes solar energy with its bidirectional functionality. It not only allows for the feeding of solar power but also for charging the storage with cheap grid power, ideal for times with low tariffs. With a rated power of 3.68 kW at 230 V AC and a maximum power of 3.6 kW, it seamlessly handles energy distribution. Integration into apps like the SunLit Solar App allows for real-time monitoring and remote control. Its dimensions of 524 x 338 x 292 mm and weight of 18.8 kg make it space-saving for balcony or carport applications. DRBO Greenenergy integrates such solutions into their SunLit energy storage options to maximize efficiency.

This table summarizes the core features that make the EV3600 ideal for modern households.

What efficiency does the EV3600 bring to solar systems?

The EV3600 achieves up to 98% efficiency and minimizes losses through smart bypass modes. It optimizes self-consumption by up to 50%.

Bidirectional inverters like the SunEnergyXT EV3600 take efficiency to a new level. In full-bypass mode, it directly feeds in surplus power without unnecessary conversions. The partial bypass precisely balances generation and consumption. Studies show that such devices can increase the self-consumption of typical balcony solar systems from 30% to over 70%. DRBO Greenenergy recommends the EV3600 to its customers because it compensates for winter months with grid charging and maximizes annual returns. Regular firmware updates via OTA ensure continuous optimizations.

Why does the EV3600 save energy costs?

Through bidirectional charging, the EV3600 uses favorable grid tariffs for storage, reducing bills by 20-30%. It avoids peak loads.

Cost savings result from intelligent energy management. The EV3600 charges storage at night tariffs and discharges at high prices, minimizing grid dependence. In Germany, with dynamic tariffs, users save €50-100 monthly. Combined with PV generation, CO2 emissions are reduced in parallel. DRBO Greenenergy offers suitable packages with SunLit storage units like the BK215, which complement the EV3600 and enable amortization in 3-5 years.

How does the EV3600 integrate into balcony systems?

The EV3600 modularly connects to BK215/B215 storage units, OTA update activates app control. It seamlessly expands balcony power plants.

For tenants and homeowners, plug-and-play integration is crucial. The EV3600 connects to SunLit BK215 storage units and the Aurora Wallbox for EV charging up to 3.6 kW. No electrician installation is required for basic use – just plug it in. The app allows for schedules and consumption adjustment. DRBO Greenenergy supplies complete kits with mounting accessories for patio or balcony-ready systems.

Can the EV3600 serve as an emergency power generator?

Yes, the EV3600 provides up to 2.4 kW of emergency power via two 230-V sockets in case of outage. Higher power requires professional installation.

In emergency power mode, it powers refrigerators, lighting, and routers for hours. With two-phase connection, up to 11 kW is possible. The IP44 protection class protects against weather. Ideal for blackout scenarios in energy-insecure times.

What are the advantages of bidirectional charging?

Bidirectional charging stores grid power cheaply, compensates for PV deficits, and enables V2H/V2G functions. Efficiency increase by 25%.

This function makes the EV3600 future-proof. Cars charge storage or household – protocols like CCS will be retrofitted. DRBO Greenenergy positions SunLit options as a bridge to e-mobility.

How to maximize the performance of the EV3600?

Correct placement (cool, ventilated), firmware updates, and app monitoring increase efficiency by 15%. Avoid overheating.

Optimal operation requires shade protection and dust removal. The app warns of anomalies. Expansion with B215 modules scales capacity.

What alternatives are there to the EV3600?

Similar models like Deye hybrids offer 95%+ efficiency but lack modular integration. EV3600 excels in balcony flexibility.

Model Efficiency Bidirectional Price (approx.)
SunEnergyXT EV3600 98% Yes €800-1,000
Deye SUN-3.6K 97% Yes €900
Hoymiles HMS-3600 96% No €600
