Just in time for the end of the year, Anker is launching the SOLIX Solarbank 2 AC, a clever extension for balcony power plants. The solar bank is an intelligent storage unit that enables self-generated solar energy to be stored efficiently and used as required. Ideal for anyone who already operates a balcony power plant and would like to increase their self-consumption, the new SOLIX Solarbank 2 AC offers simple installation, high flexibility and reliable performance.

The SOLIX Solarbank 2 AC uses AC coupling, which makes installation particularly easy. It is simply connected via plug-and-play and is compatible with all standard micro inverters designed for an output of up to 800 watts. This means that existing balcony power plants can easily be expanded to include a powerful storage system. Thanks to the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the SOLIX Solarbank 2 AC offers a long-lasting, safe storage option for solar energy. LFP batteries are known for their high safety and durability and are particularly suitable for use in private energy systems.

Thanks to the intelligent energy distribution, the Solarbank 2 AC can efficiently feed the self-generated electricity into the domestic grid, which reduces energy costs and increases self-consumption. The capacity expansion to up to 9.6 kWh also enables larger amounts of energy to be stored for reliable use.

The Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2 AC feeds up to 800 watts into the household grid in accordance with legal requirements. Two additional MPPT solar controllers make it possible to expand the energy flow through solar panels by up to a further 1200 watts, so that the solar bank achieves a total output of up to 2000 watts. Particularly practical: the solar bank is stackable and allows up to five additional batteries with a capacity of 1.6 kWh each to be added easily. This allows users to flexibly adjust their storage capacity in order to store sufficient energy even in sunny months.

To ensure optimal use of the stored energy, the Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2 AC can be monitored and controlled via the Anker app and the Anker SOLIX Smartmeter. The app displays all relevant energy data in real time so that users can keep an eye on their power consumption and charge status at all times. Anker is also expanding the compatibility of the solar bank through a partnership with IoT manufacturer Shelly, which simplifies integration into existing smart home systems.

With its IP65 certification, the Anker SOLIX Solar Bank 2 AC is weatherproof and can easily be used outdoors, even in extreme temperatures from -20 to 55 degrees Celsius. The solar bank is designed for at least 6,000 charging cycles, which corresponds to a service life of around 15 years – twice the service life of conventional LFP batteries. In addition, Anker offers a generous ten-year manufacturer’s warranty, which underlines the confidence in the quality and durability of the solar bank.

The Solarbank 2 AC also offers a useful backup function in the event of power failures. With an off-grid output of 1000 watts, expandable up to 1200 watts, the solar bank ensures that important appliances such as refrigerators continue to be reliably supplied with power.

The Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2 AC considerably simplifies the use and storage of solar energy for households with balcony power stations. With flexible expansion options, simple installation and comprehensive smart features, it is a future-proof solution. The solar bank is available now for 1,099 euros. If you decide quickly, you can benefit from a price reduction to 799 euros and a free Anker SOLIX Smart Meter until December 2, 2024. A worthwhile investment for a sustainable and cost-efficient energy supply in your own home.
