BERLIN, Sept. 6, 2024 — Jackery is releasing major updates to its Navi 2000 DIY solar system, making its balcony solar generator even more powerful and intelligent. These upgrades include multi-device parallel connectivity, wider compatibility with Shelly Pro 3EM and Shelly Pro EM-50, and a cloud update with time-of-use (TOU) mode and extreme weather alerts.
From Balcony Solar to Comprehensive Energy Storage Thanks to Multi-Device Parallel Connection
The Navi 2000, initially designed as a flexible and easy-to-install balcony power station, now transforms into a comprehensive home energy storage system (ESS). The new multi-device parallel connection and local wireless communication allow for connecting up to three Navi 2000 units and three additional battery packs. This configuration enables capacities from 2 to 24 kWh and solar input power up to 4800 watts.* This feature allows for strategically placing solar panels across different locations, like balconies, garages, and gardens, maximizing solar energy capture.
The Navi 2000 enables centralized energy management and intelligent power distribution without complex wiring. Devices communicate seamlessly over their own Wi-Fi, working together to power energy-intensive appliances like air conditioning units. While the basic setup offers up to 2400 watts* in parallel operation, the output can be adjusted to comply with legal requirements, with a maximum feed-in of 800 watts. As regulations evolve, the Navi 2000 remains future-proof, with potential output increases through over-the-air (OTA) updates.
Expanded Shelly Integration for Smarter Energy Management
Since its launch, the Navi 2000 has been compatible with the Shelly Smart Plug Pro, allowing for real-time energy monitoring, smart power allocation, and remote control via the app. Jackery’s partnership with Shelly has expanded the Navi 2000’s compatibility to include the Shelly Pro 3EM and Shelly Pro EM-50. This expansion significantly enhances the system’s smart home capabilities, ensuring that electricity is distributed based on consumption, minimizing waste, and maximizing the use of stored solar energy. The entire system is easily managed through the Jackery Home app, making every watt count.
Cloud Update: Optimized Energy Use
Beyond hardware upgrades, Jackery has introduced a cloud update for the Navi 2000, including a new time-of-use (TOU) mode. This enables users to schedule charging and discharging during off-peak hours, optimizing energy costs. Additionally, the Jackery Home app now integrates weather alerts from the German Weather Service, allowing users to activate battery priority mode in anticipation of extreme weather conditions and potential power outages. With the hybrid charging feature, users can quickly charge their battery to 80% in under 52 minutes using both solar and AC input, ensuring readiness for any situation.
The new features of the Navi 2000 will be available until the end of September 2024 for both new purchases and as updates for existing systems. For more information, visit the Jackery booth in Hall 2.2 during IFA 2024.
