Anker SOLIX Solarbank Max

The Solarbank Max Hybrid has the inverter built in: you connect up to 20 panels directly to 10kW of solar input and deliver up to 5kW to your home. Are you installing new panels, or want to make the most of a full roof? Then this is the logical choice.

Not planning to connect solar panels directly to the battery? Then the Solarbank Max AC is the smarter choice, if only because you won't pay for an inverter you don't use. The Max AC is AC-coupled: it sits behind your existing inverter and charges at 3,500W. The same 7 kWh of storage, the same expansion up to 42 kWh, but more affordable and without changing anything about your setup.

Where traditional home batteries can only use around 90% of their capacity, this system discharges up to 100% thanks to the built-in energy optimizer. So you pay for capacity that you actually get. On top of that, the system runs up to two full cycles per day: charging on solar during the day and topping up at off-peak rates at night to bridge the expensive morning peak.

With a dynamic contract you connect to over 870 energy suppliers, and when the system sees bad weather coming, it pre-charges cheaply in advance. According to Anker, the system pays for itself within just a few years this way.

If the power goes out, the devices connected to the backup power outlet take over instantly, without any noticeable interruption. That outlet delivers a continuous 3.5kW, perfectly matched to a standard power strip, so you can plug in multiple devices at once.

For devices with a high startup current, there's a peak power of up to 7500W. In the app you can see in real time what's happening on the backup power outlet, and you can switch it on or off remotely.

Want your entire home to switch over during an outage? That's where the new Backup Auto-Switch comes in: it automatically switches your complete installation over to the battery when the power fails, can be installed like a meter swap, and costs about 20% of a traditional whole-home backup system. You can order the Backup Auto-Switch now as a pre-order; available end of October.

With the built-in AI assistant Anka, you simply ask a question: how efficiently your system is running, whether next month's solar yield will cover your consumption, or whether the battery needs to be full on Saturday evening. The system takes care of it.

The brain behind it is called Anker PowerOS. The AI energy management (AI EMS) analyzes the weather, your consumption and electricity prices in real time, and controls charging and discharging accordingly. Your data is stored and processed locally, with certifications like ISO 27001 and ISO 27701.

On top of that, the battery integrates officially with Home Assistant and works together with SG-ready heat pumps, EV chargers and smart plugs, so your biggest energy consumers run on your own solar power.

Thanks to IP66 and corrosion resistance that can handle even coastal weather, the Solarbank Max Hybrid holds its own indoors or outdoors in any season. Extreme temperatures are no obstacle either: both charging and discharging work from -20 to 55 °C.

Inside, the battery is protected at cell level. Ceramic-coated separators and aerogel insulation pads prevent short circuits and keep heat away from the cells, while the battery management system monitors voltage and temperature 24/7. And if something does get out of hand, pressure relief valves and a built-in extinguishing system with micro-extinguishers kick in right away. The anti-thermal runaway design prevents one cell from dragging the rest down with it.

You don't buy a home battery every day. That's why we consider good guidance just as important as the product itself. Our team knows the Anker SOLIX products, accessories and connection options, and can help you with questions about installation, expansion and use.

We're also here for you after your purchase. Have a question about your Solarbank Max Hybrid, the P1 Meter, Smart Meter or the right connection? Then you'll get help directly from our own team.

We manage our stock and shipping ourselves. Is your Anker SOLIX product in stock and do you order on a business day before 8:00 PM? Then you'll have it delivered the next business day in the Netherlands or Belgium.
