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 do you want to get the most out 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 be paying 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 use around 90% of their capacity, this system discharges up to 100% thanks to the built-in energy optimizer. So you pay for capacity you actually get. The system also runs up to two full cycles a day: charging on solar during the day, topping up at night on off-peak rates 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 charges up 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 on the backup power output take over instantly, without any noticeable interruption. That output continuously delivers 3.5kW, perfectly matched to a standard power strip, so you can connect 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 output and switch it on remotely.

Want your entire home to switch over during an outage? That's what the new Backup Auto-Switch is for: it automatically switches your complete installation to the battery when the power fails, installs just like a meter swap, and costs around 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 your solar yield next month will cover your consumption, or whether the battery needs to be full on Saturday evening. The system takes care of it.

The brains 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 such as ISO 27001 and ISO 27701.

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

Thanks to IP66 and corrosion resistance up to coastal weather conditions, the Solarbank Max Hybrid stays right where it belongs, indoors or outdoors, in any season. Extreme temperatures aren't a limitation 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. Should something still go wrong, pressure relief valves and a built-in fire suppression system with micro-extinguishers kick in immediately. The anti-thermal runaway construction prevents one cell from dragging the rest along with it.

You don't buy a home battery every day. That's why we think good guidance is 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 here for you after your purchase too. Got 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 before 20:00 on a working day? Then you'll have it delivered the next working day in the Netherlands or Belgium.
