Today, Anker Solix unveiled its brand-new Solarbank. The Anker Solix Solarbank Max AC is now available to pre-order directly from the manufacturer and comes with an early-bird discount off the recommended retail price (RRP) of €2,299. It is currently only available to pre-order in selected countries, such as Germany, the Netherlands and France. Pre-order customers can also save on the BP7000 expansion battery (MSRP €1,799) and benefit from additional incentives.
The official pre-sale begins on 26 May 2026. Unlike previous models, such as the current Solarbank 3 Pro, the new Solarbank Max AC from Anker Solix has no PV inputs or MPPTs. Instead, this new release is a plug-and-play home storage solution designed to retrofit existing solar systems. It enables the straightforward storage of surplus energy, which is becoming less lucrative due to falling feed-in tariffs. With the Solarbank Max AC, surplus electricity can be stored for later use rather than being fed into the grid for a pittance.

Boasting a capacity of 7 kWh, the Anker Solix Solarbank Max AC is the largest Solarbank to date. The storage capacity can optionally be expanded up to 42 kWh using BP7000 expansion batteries, with each battery adding an extra 7 kWh. The bidirectional inverter supports up to 3,500 W for rapid charging and discharging. Up to 800 W can be fed into the home network simply by plugging the Solarbank Max AC into a standard wall outlet. With professional installation via a Wieland socket, however, the full 3,500 W capacity can be utilised. A 3,680 W off-grid socket is also available for backup power during outages.
Power output to the home can be adjusted to match real-time consumption in seconds via a smart meter. It also supports dynamic electricity tariffs to further reduce energy costs. "Anker Intelligence", including the "Anker" voice assistant, is designed to intelligently plan usage. According to Anker Solix, integration with Home Assistant and other systems is possible thanks to standardised Open API and Modbus protocols.
