Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2 E1600 Pro Balcony Solar System, 1600Wh Storage, 2400W Output, Plug & Play DIY Energy Kit

The Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2 E1600 Pro Balcony Solar System is a smart plug & play energy solution designed to help you store and use your solar power more efficiently at home. Ideal for apartments, balconies and small residential setups, this system allows you to generate, store and use your own electricity without complex installation or technical modifications.

With a built-in 1600 Wh battery, the Solarbank stores energy generated by your solar panels during the day, so you can use it later when it matters most, such as in the evening or during peak electricity prices. Simply connect the system to a standard wall socket to feed stored energy back into your home. This allows you to increase self-consumption and reduce reliance on the grid without requiring a professional installer.

The system is designed for direct solar panel connection, supporting up to 2400 W of solar input through three integrated MPPT trackers. This means solar panels can be connected directly to the unit without the need for an external inverter. The generated energy is used instantly in your home, while excess energy is stored in the battery. Once the battery is full, surplus power can be automatically fed into the grid.

The modular design allows the system to grow with your energy needs. The base capacity of 1.6 kWh can be expanded up to 9.6 kWh by stacking up to five additional battery units. Expansion is simple and does not require additional wiring, making it easy to scale your energy storage over time.

The Solarbank 2 E1600 Pro also offers functionality during power outages. With a 1.2 kW off-grid AC output, you can keep essential devices such as refrigerators, lighting or internet equipment running. This adds an extra layer of energy security, especially in situations where grid power is unavailable.

Designed for outdoor use, the system includes Thermal Boosting technology, ensuring reliable performance even at temperatures as low as -20°C. This makes it suitable for installation on balconies, terraces, sheds or other unheated environments.

Through the Anker mobile app, you gain full control over your energy usage. You can monitor battery status, track energy consumption and schedule when to store or use energy. When combined with the optional Anker Smart Meter, the system provides real-time energy data and allows more precise control based on your household consumption and dynamic electricity pricing.

Whether you want to reduce electricity costs, increase energy independence or make better use of your solar panels, the Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2 E1600 Pro offers a flexible and future-ready solution for modern home energy management.
