Anker SOLIX is the energy brand of Anker Innovations Technology Co., Ltd., a Changsha company founded by Steven Yang in 2011.
It sells direct from ankersolix.com and through Amazon US, Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy, Walmart and Sam's Club.
The Anker SOLIX E10 in this configuration is one E10 Power Module on one B6000 battery module, 6,144 Wh of LiFePO4 rated 7,680 W continuous at 120/240 V split-phase. The power module has no outlets of its own. A 240 V output cable for a transfer switch comes in the box, and Anker sells a 120V/240V Power Strip, a Smart Inlet Box and a Power Dock separately. It charges at 1,800 W from a 120 V outlet on the included cable, at up to 7,680 W at 240 V through an inlet box or Power Dock, and from up to 9,000 W of solar through two 30 to 450 V inputs. Anker states a switchover of 20 ms or less with the Power Dock. Each power module takes five B6000 batteries, up to 30.7 kWh, and one Power Dock runs up to three modules. Anker requires a licensed electrician to install the Smart Inlet Box or Power Dock. The power module weighs 60.6 lb and the battery 130 lb, and Anker rates the cells for 4,000 cycles to 80 percent.
