Modular solar storage for eight PV modules
Home Light+Energy Light+Energy Modular solar storage for eight PV modules
With the Solarbank 3 Pro, Anker Solix offers a modular solar storage system with an input power of up to 3600 W and a storage capacity of 2688 Wh.
Four integrated MPP trackers (MPPT) allow the connection of up to eight solar modules. Thanks to the expandable, modular plug-in principle, the Solarbank 3 Pro can be expanded to up to 16kWh. AI-based software for smart energy management is designed to enable cost savings. This is helped by predicted power surpluses or deficits based on weather conditions and usage data. The system learns to predict individual power consumption and the expected energy surplus for the next day by recognizing usage patterns and the energy generated by the solar modules, as well as integrating additional data such as weather forecasts. A smart meter is therefore mandatory to collect data on household energy consumption. The Anker app provides recommendations on when to store more power or when to use the surplus energy for specific applications.
In combination with smart plugs, additional functions can be utilized. For example, if a power surplus is predicted, preconfigured smart plugs can activate the charging of devices such as an e-bike or kettle to efficiently use the excess power.
The manufacturer also announced that the Solarbank 3 Pro will soon support parallel operation. Users with high energy consumption can then operate up to four Solarbank systems in parallel. This configuration allows for a battery capacity of up to 64.5 kWh and a power output of 4.8 kW, along with an MPPT input power of 14.4 kW. Professional installation and inspection are required for use.
With lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology, the batteries used are said to be long-lasting and withstand up to 6,000 charge cycles. The system is said to be able to operate without restrictions at temperatures as low as -20°C. The IP65 protection rating is intended to protect against rain and dust. The memory modules are equipped with industrial-grade electronics and feature an improved cooling system, making them more durable and resilient. The shock-resistant unibody design offers four layers of protection against shock, vibration, UV radiation, and fire. A temperature control system monitors the battery temperature 100 times per second to prevent overheating and extend its service life.
