Frequently asked questions
Short answers. Where a rule depends on the country, we say which country we mean.
Ordering and prices
Do you sell to private customers or only to companies?
Both. Most orders come from distributors and installers, but we also supply single balcony kits to households. The price list and the tiers are the same; private customers in the EU and UK keep their statutory consumer rights.
Are the prices on the website final?
They are reference prices in EUR, excluding VAT, duties and freight. Your quotation states the final price for your quantity, delivery term and destination. See the terms of sale.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
Not for standard products from warehouse stock: one piece is fine. OEM orders have minimum quantities, listed on the OEM & ODM page.
How can I pay?
Bank transfer (T/T), normally 30 % deposit and the balance before shipment. Letter of credit at sight for larger orders. ●
Can I order a sample first?
Yes. Samples are charged at the single-unit price and credited on your first volume order. ●
Balcony solar
Do I need an electrician for a balcony system?
In Germany, Austria and several other EU countries a plug-in system up to 800 VA may be connected by the user. You still have to register it. Rules differ by country, so check with your grid operator before you buy.
What does the 800 W limit refer to?
To the AC output of the inverter, not to the panels. In Germany the panels may add up to 2000 Wp while the inverter feeds at most 800 VA into the house. With storage, what the inverter cannot feed charges the battery.
How much electricity does a balcony system produce?
It depends on location, direction and tilt. Panels hung vertically on a south railing in central Germany give roughly 650–700 kWh per installed kWp per year; tilted at 30° about 1000 kWh. Use the savings calculator for your city.
I rent my flat. Can I install one?
In Germany tenants have been entitled to a plug-in solar system since 2024; the landlord may only refuse for good reason. Flexible panels fixed with straps leave no marks on the railing. Elsewhere, ask your landlord in writing.
Storage and batteries
Why LiFePO4?
Lithium iron phosphate cells are thermally more stable than NMC cells and last longer: the Power Box is rated for 6000 cycles. They are heavier for the same capacity, which does not matter for a box that stands on the floor.
Can I add a second battery later?
Yes. Up to three LS-L2048 units work in parallel on one Smart Solar Hub, 6144 Wh in total. Add units of the same model and let them reach the same state of charge before you connect them.
Does the battery work in winter?
It discharges down to −20 °C and charges from 0 °C. With the optional heating the Power Box warms itself before it charges, so it can stay outdoors all year.
Does the Smart Solar Hub work with my existing microinverter?
The Hub sits between the panels and the microinverter and works with most microinverters whose input range matches its output. Send us the model and we check the datasheet.
Inverters
Are the inverters original factory units?
Yes. They are new factory units supplied by XUSION with the manufacturer's serial numbers, which you can register on the manufacturer's own monitoring platform.
Why do the larger inverters show no price?
Project prices for commercial inverters depend on quantity, accessories and delivery term. Send the model and quantity and you receive a quotation within one working day. ●
Microinverter or string inverter?
Up to about 2 kW, on balconies and roofs with partial shade, microinverters: each panel pair has its own MPPT and the system is plug-in. From 3 kW on an unshaded roof a string inverter costs less per watt and is installed by an electrician.
Shipping and service
How long does delivery take?
From the EU or UK warehouse 3–5 working days; from China 7–45 days depending on air, rail or sea. ● Details on the shipping page.
Where do I find the certificates?
In the download centre, filtered by product, and on each product page. If a document you need is missing, ask and we send it.
Who do I contact for a warranty case?
XUSION. You do not need to contact the manufacturer. The procedure is on the warranty page.
Can you deliver under my own brand?
Yes: logo, colour, packaging, manuals and app skin. See OEM & ODM.
