Up to 64 kWh storage and 14,4 kW PV power
The new Anker SOLIX Power Dock connects up to four Solarbank 3 Pro units into a single system. This allows for 14,4 kW of PV input power and a maximum feed-in of 4,8 kW into the home grid. Significantly more than the 800 watts of typical balcony power stations.
The Power Dock converts power from direct current to alternating current only once, reducing conversion losses. This allows the system to operate more efficiently and benefit from dynamic electricity tariffs, for example, by charging the storage system with inexpensive grid power.
The Anker SOLIX Smart Meter allows for automatic power adjustment. The control system takes weather forecasts and current energy consumption into account to optimize charging and feed-in power. In addition to the Solarbank 3 Pro, the Solarbank 2 Pro, Solarbank 2 Plus, and Solarbank 2 AC will also be compatible in the future. These models will be supported from the end of 2025, some with reduced feed-in power.
Expansion in the plug-in system
The multi-system is designed so users can start small and expand as needed. Up to eight modules with a maximum input of 3.600 W can be connected to each solar bank. Additionally, each unit can be equipped with up to five extension batteries, allowing each solar bank to achieve a storage capacity of up to 16 kWh. With four solar banks operating in parallel, this results in a total capacity of up to 64 kWh.
Since the multi-system operates well above the 800-watt limit, it's not a traditional plug-in balcony power station. Commissioning of the Power Dock and grid connection must be carried out by a certified electrician. Storage and solar modules, however, can be installed by the customer, provided the structural conditions are suitable. Upon request, Anker offers a fixed-price installation service.
According to Anker, the system can achieve a self-sufficiency level of up to 80%. Under favorable conditions, the investment can pay for itself within four years. With traditional home storage technology, this often takes twice as long.
Calculation example for a household with 5.000 kWh annual consumption:
- 2× Solar Bank 3 Pro
- 2× Extension battery BP2700
- 12 PV modules of 500 Wp each
- 1× Power Dock
Result according to the manufacturer:
- PV yield: 6.797 kWh per year
- Self-consumption: 3.982 kWh (approx. 80%)
- Savings: €1.715 per year (at 40 cents/kWh)
- Total cost: 6.399 €
- Amortization: approx. 4 years
Compatible with wallboxes
The multi-system is particularly exciting for electric car owners. The new Anker SOLIX V1 Smart EV Charger can be directly integrated via the Power Dock, available with either 7,4 kW (single-phase) or 11 kW (three-phase). The AI-supported Smart Charging function intelligently schedules charging sessions to deliver as much solar power as possible to the car.
Third-party chargers can also be integrated via CEE sockets. If you don't need any storage at all, you can also use the V1 as a standalone wallbox.
