7 kWh Solarbank Max AC Plug-and-Play Solar Battery – Anker SOLIX

Store your solar energy with a 7 kWh battery

The Anker SOLIX Solarbank Max AC is an all-in-one home storage system designed to complement an existing photovoltaic installation. Its AC connection, downstream of the inverter, allows you to keep the already installed inverter or micro-inverters, subject to compatibility with your configuration.

Excess solar production can thus be stored during the day, then used in the evening to power household appliances.

Integrated 3,500 W bidirectional inverter

The integrated single-phase inverter provides a charging and discharging power of 3,500 W. It allows you to store excess photovoltaic energy and supply energy to household appliances, within the limits of the available power and simultaneous needs.

Integrated backup power supply

The off-grid output offers a rated power of 3,680 W to power connected equipment in the event of a power outage. The optional Power Dock Pro gateway allows for a home backup configuration with a rated continuous power of 5,000 W. Backup options depend on the connection and configuration of the installation.

LFP technology and expandable capacity

The lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery offers a nominal capacity of 7,000 Wh and a rated depth of discharge of 100%. The total capacity can reach 42 kWh with the main unit and five BP7000 expansion modules.

According to the data provided, the cells are rated for 10,000 cycles, with a designed lifespan of 15 years and a 10-year manufacturer's warranty, subject to the manufacturer's terms.

Indoor or outdoor installation

The enclosure has an IP66 protection rating and a C5-M anti-corrosion treatment. Active heating allows for operation rated down to −20 °C. Cooling by natural convection requires no fan.

An optional mounting base, equipped with adjustable feet, allows the unit to be raised and adapted to uneven floors. The choice of location and connection must comply with the manufacturer's instructions.

Smart control and home automation integration

The Anker app and Anker Intelligence™ engine allow you to manage charging and discharging cycles based on electricity rates, weather forecasts, and consumption habits. The Anka assistant complements the control functions.

The stated compatibility with Home Assistant, an open API, and the Modbus protocol allows integration with third-party energy monitoring. Functions related to dynamic rates or virtual power plants (VPP) depend on the available services and offers.

To plan for: the single-phase Smart Meter Gen 2 smart meter is required for self-consumption management. It measures electrical flows at the delivery point to adapt charging and discharging. Its inclusion in the package is not specified in the provided information.
