Anker has introduced the Solix Solarbank 2 E1600 AC specifically for the markets in Germany and Austria. This new model comes after the previous releases of the Solarbank 2 Pro and the Solarbank 2 Plus earlier this year. Although all three models share many features, the newest one brings in AC coupling.
Easy Integration
The Solarbank 2 E1600 AC is presented as a plug-and-play option that fits well with your current balcony power setup. It has a storage capacity of 1.6 kWh using LFP technology, which can be increased to 9.6 kWh. Additionally, it supports an 800W mains AC connection and provides a 1,200W off-grid AC output. Anker claims that users could potentially save as much as €902 annually with this system. Besides the 800W AC input and the 1,200W DC input, it features a built-in microinverter and two MPPT solar controllers, enabling a maximum solar input of 2,000W. The device is designed for outdoor usage, functioning in temperatures ranging from -20 to 55°C (about -4 to 131°F).
Pricing and Availability
The Anker Solix Solarbank 2 AC is set to be released in Germany and Austria this coming December, with a price tag of €1,099. Additionally, customers who purchase the product before December 2nd will receive a €300 discount, bringing the price down to €799. This offer is available through Anker directly or on the company's Amazon page. It's still uncertain if or when this product will be available in other regions.
Anker's new offering aims to provide consumers with a robust and efficient energy solution catered to their needs.
