Sunlit BK215 Zero Export: The Complete Guide to Zero Export

Mar 6, 2026

The Sunlit BK215 is a modular battery storage system for balcony power plants that enables precise zero-feed-in. With it, users efficiently store solar surplus and completely avoid feeding into the grid.

Market Trends: Balcony Power Plants

Balcony power plants are booming in Germany, with over 500,000 installations in 2025 according to industry reports. Demand for storage systems like the Sunlit BK215 is increasing by 40 percent annually, as tenants and homeowners seek energy independence. Zero-feed-in is becoming standard to secure subsidies and avoid penalties.

Due to rising electricity prices of 35 cents per kilowatt-hour, consumers prioritize systems with dynamic control. Sunlit BK215 zero-feed-in perfectly aligns with this development, as it integrates Shelly 3EM and allows for real-time adjustments.
