What is the SunEnergyXT BK215?

The SunEnergyXT BK215 is a modular balcony power station storage unit with 2.15 kWh capacity, LiFePO4 batteries, and two MPPT inputs for up to 1,600 W solar power. It stores excess electricity and releases it when needed. Ideal for renters and homeowners.

The SunEnergyXT BK215 revolutionizes balcony solar systems with its compact design and high efficiency. With IP65 protection, it is weatherproof and expandable up to 8.6 kWh with B215 modules. The integrated app monitors charge status and energy flow in real-time. DRBO Greenenergy integrates this storage unit into SunLit solutions for optimal performance. Two PV inputs allow connection of up to four 400 W modules.

Technical Specifications of the BK215:

Feature Details
Capacity 2.15 kWh (expandable)
Inputs 2x MPPT, 800 W each
Output Up to 1,920 W
Battery LiFePO4, long-lasting
App SunEnergyXT Solar App

These features make the BK215 the perfect addition to Schuko-based systems.

Why use Schuko plugs for solar storage?

Schuko plugs are standard-compliant (DIN VDE V 0126-95) for balcony power stations up to 960 W and allow simple socket connection without an electrician. They offer IP44 protection and high safety through integrated system protection.

Schuko plugs simplify the integration of storage units like the SunEnergyXT BK215 enormously. Since December 2025, they have been considered standard for devices under 960 W module power. Compared to Wieland plugs, they do not require a special socket. DRBO Greenenergy recommends Schuko for plug-and-play systems as they are flexible and cost-effective. The risk factor is minimal thanks to automatic shutdown in case of errors.

Schuko vs. Wieland Comparison:

Criterion Schuko Wieland
Installation DIY Electrician
Max. power 960 W Higher
Costs Low Higher
Availability Any socket Special

This flexibility increases the attractiveness of solar storage units.

How to connect solar modules to the BK215?

Connect the MC4 connectors of the solar modules to the DC input cables of the BK215, paying attention to polarity and secure connections. Activate the power button to start.

The connection of solar modules is tool-free via supplied cables. Check voltage with a multimeter beforehand. The BK215 charges automatically when there is sun. Up to four modules are possible, scalable with extensions. DRBO Greenenergy supplies compatible accessories for smooth operation.

Step-by-step:

  1. Align modules (south, 30° tilt).

  2. Insert MC4 cables.

  3. Secure inputs on the BK215.

  4. Check LCD display.

This method ensures maximum efficiency.

How to connect the BK215 with Schuko plugs?

Connect the inverter (e.g., EV3600) to the BK215 via the output cable, then plug the AC Schuko plug into the household socket. Switch on and monitor via the app.

Schuko integration uses the output of the BK215 for the inverter. Use 5-m Schuko cables for range. Avoid extensions or multi-plugs. DRBO Greenenergy offers SunLit options with pre-installed Schuko connections. After plugging in, feeding starts automatically.

Compatible Inverters:

Model Max. Power Schuko-compatible
APsystems EZ1-M 800 W Yes
Deye 1,200 W Yes
Hoymiles 960 W Yes

Safety first: Cover during maintenance.
