Faced with rising energy costs and growing interest in renewable energy, Anker SOLIX today unveils a promising solution: the Solarbank 3 Pro. This new generation of modular solar battery doesn't just store the sun's energy; it intelligently optimizes it to lower your bills.
The big new feature of the Solarbank 3 Pro lies in its ability to absorb a significant amount of solar energy. Thanks to four dedicated inputs (MPPT), it can manage up to 3600W of solar power, allowing you to connect up to eight solar panels (for a total of 4680W). This is almost double what most similar "ready-to-use" (or plug-and-play) systems offer. Concretely, this means more energy collected, even when the sunshine isn't perfect.
This power also translates into output: the Solarbank 3 Pro can power devices with a power of up to 1200W, and it can charge or discharge at the same speed. This makes it capable of meeting the needs of homes, whether they have a small installation or a larger residential solar system.
Artificial intelligence at the service of your savings
Where Anker SOLIX is particularly innovative is with "Anker Intelligence." This system based on artificial intelligence learns from the user's consumption habits, analyzes weather forecasts and anticipates solar production. Its objective? Maximize the use of free solar energy and minimize the use of the paid electricity grid.
Combined with the Anker SOLIX smart meter (essential for collecting household data), the application suggests the best times to store or use energy. With Anker SOLIX smart plugs (or other compatible home automation systems like Shelly), the system can even automatically trigger energy-intensive devices (water heater, electric bike charger, washing machine) when the sun is shining generously and the energy is free. The energy produced is used optimally, and the household greatly limits waste. The system can even optimize battery charging during off-peak hours to achieve even more savings, especially in winter.
The other major advantage of this new solution is flexibility. Each Solarbank 3 Pro module offers a storage capacity of 2688Wh. Thanks to a patented modular design (PluginPower), it is possible to easily stack up to five additional modules to reach a total capacity of 16kWh, without complex wiring or total replacement. Strong point: these new modules are compatible with the old Solarbank 2, and vice versa, preserving the initial investment. For very large consumers, Anker SOLIX even plans to be able to connect up to four systems in parallel (professional installation required).
Designed to last, indoors and outdoors
Anker SOLIX focuses on durability with LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries, similar to those in electric vehicles, guaranteed for 10 years and designed for more than 6,000 charge cycles (up to 10 years of use). The system is weatherproof (IP65) and cold resistant (down to -20°C), allowing for outdoor installation. Its sleek design, awarded a Red Dot Award 2025, blends in discreetly.
Price and Availability
The Solarbank 3 Pro is available for pre-order starting today, April 8, 2025, at a suggested retail price of €1,799 on the Anker SOLIX website. It will be available in stores at partner retailers during the second quarter.
By registering between April 8 and 28 (no commitment), customers will receive a 23% discount and will receive a free Anker SOLIX smart meter with their order (to be placed between April 29 and May 11). Orders placed between April 29 and May 1 will also receive four free Anker SOLIX smart plugs.
