The Anker Solix Solarbank 2 Pro: Maximize your savings and energy independence

As more households seek sustainable solutions to lower their electricity bills and reduce their carbon footprint, the Anker Solix Solarbank 2 Pro battery system stands out as an exceptional energy storage device. As the first company in Spain and Portugal to introduce this innovative product, Robinsun is leading the way in providing cutting-edge solar energy solutions for families. Designed for sunny regions such as southern Europe, this all-in-one solar energy solution harnesses the power of the sun to meet a significant portion of your energy needs. But what can this system truly achieve, and how does it impact your home’s electricity consumption? Let’s explore the advantages and possibilities that the Anker Solix Solarbank 2 Pro offers you to take control of your energy at home.

Harnessing the power of the sun across seasons with the Anker Solix Solarbank 2 Pro

The Anker Solix Solarbank 2 Pro combines a 1,6 kWh battery, a controller and a micro inverter all in a single device. The system also allows to expand the storage capacity by adding up to 5 expansion batteries of 1,6 kWh each, for a maximum storage of 9,6 kWh in total. You can connect four solar panels, and at Robinsun we offer the Anker Solix Solarbank 2 Pro in combination with 4 Aiko Neostar 2S 455 Wp solar panels, the most advanced on the market right now, that we introduced recently. This setup can produce up to 3,618 kWh of electricity per year under optimal conditions in Spain, enough to cover a large part of a household’s energy consumption. As a reference, the average household in Spain consumes 3.240 kWh/year according to official statistics.

Another additional functionality of the Anker Solix Solarbank 2 Pro is the optional Smart Meter that you can install in your home’s electrical panel. This device measures your meter’s electricity flows, both inbound (consumption) and outbound (when surplus is fed into the grid). If surplus is detected, it instructs the system to store more of your energy and avoid any surplus being fed into the grid. This way you can make sure that all of your solar panels’ production is used, and you drive down the need to buy energy from the grid to an absolute minimum. Taking into consideration that the Anker Solix Solarbank 2 has a maximum output of 800 W, only in case of peak consumption over that amount you will actually need to buy electricity from your power company.

While solar energy production naturally fluctuates with the seasons, the Solix Solarbank 2 Pro is specifically designed to maximize output throughout the year. Let's break down the performance of this system during the summer and winter months:

Summer performance: During summer, the Solix Solarbank 2 Pro benefits from extended daylight hours, often producing around 13.91 kWh per day. The high level of sunlight allows the system to generate significant energy, enough to power most of your home’s appliances. For example, it can easily handle the daily energy requirements of lighting, refrigerators, Wi-Fi routers, and even air conditioning during peak sunlight hours. This not only reduces your reliance on grid electricity but also leads to substantial savings on your electricity bills.

Winter performance: Even in winter, when daylight hours are shorter, the Solix Solarbank 2 Pro still performs admirably, generating approximately 6.19 kWh per day. While this is less than the summer output, it is still sufficient to offset the energy consumption of smaller household appliances such as lights, Wi-Fi routers, and televisions. Additionally, by storing surplus energy produced during sunny days, the system ensures that you have a reliable power supply even when sunlight is scarce.

This flexibility ensures that you are generating and storing energy consistently, offsetting your grid usage and maintaining a level of energy independence throughout the year.

How the Anker Solix Solarbank 2 Pro offsets common household energy consumption

To appreciate the benefits of the Solix Solarbank 2 Pro, it's essential to consider how much electricity common household appliances consume and how much this system can offset. Let’s take a closer look at some everyday devices and their typical energy usage:

1. Lighting: A modern home with 10 LED bulbs (using approximately 0.01 kW each) might consume about 0.1 kWh if all the lights are on for an hour. The Solix Solarbank 2 Pro can easily cover this usage for several hours of the day, making your home's lighting needs essentially free from an energy cost perspective.
2. Refrigerators: These appliances run 24/7, consuming between 1.2 to 4.8 kWh per day, depending on size and efficiency. The Solix Solarbank 2 Pro can potentially cover the entire energy consumption of an efficient refrigerator, particularly in the sunnier months, allowing you to save considerably on this essential appliance.
3. Air conditioning: During the summer, air conditioners are among the biggest energy users, consuming anywhere from 1.5 to 12 kWh daily, depending on usage and the unit's size. While the Solix Solarbank 2 Pro may not completely offset the air conditioner’s energy consumption, it can substantially reduce the load during peak sunshine hours, leading to noticeable savings.
4. Water heaters: Water heaters are another significant consumer, using between 4.5 to 15 kWh per day. The system can help reduce this demand, particularly in the summer months, where it can contribute a significant portion of the energy required to heat water.
5. Television and entertainment: Watching television for around 3 to 5 hours daily might consume between 0.3 to 1 kWh. The Solix Solarbank 2 Pro can offset this entirely, allowing you to enjoy your evening entertainment without additional electricity costs.
6. Wi-Fi routers and device charging: Smaller devices, such as Wi-Fi routers (0.12 to 0.36 kWh per day) and mobile phones (0.0025 to 0.015 kWh per day per person), are easily covered by the energy produced, ensuring that these essential devices operate without any cost impact.

The financial and environmental benefits

The Anker Solix Solarbank 2 Pro is not just an environmentally friendly choice; it’s also a smart financial investment. Given the updated average electricity price of €0.26/kWh in many parts of southern Europe, the system can save you approximately €964 per year. Over the lifetime of the solar panels and batteries, these savings will accumulate, often covering the initial investment cost in just a few years while continuing to provide free, renewable energy for many more.

And the potential savings don’t stop there. The Anker Solix Solarbank 2 Pro offers incredible flexibility and scalability, allowing you to add up to five additional expansion batteries, each with a capacity of 1.6 kWh. This means that you can significantly increase your storage capacity to a total of 9.6 kWh. By expanding the system, you maximize your ability to store and use the electricity you generate, especially during periods of high production like sunny summer days.

With more storage capacity, you can further reduce your reliance on grid electricity, potentially doubling or even tripling your annual savings. Imagine the additional savings you could achieve with this extra storage. Many customers find that they can save well over €1.500 annually, depending on their energy use and local electricity prices. This scalability makes the Anker Solix Solarbank 2 Pro not just a purchase, but an investment in a future-proof energy solution tailored to your needs.
