How does it work?

The artificial intelligence in the Solix 3 Pro optimizes your energy costs with dynamic tariffs by using weather forecasts and consumption patterns to develop the ideal charging and discharging strategy. Especially on cloudy summer days, you benefit from the price differences between peak and low consumption times.

During the day - The storage system uses low-cost nighttime electricity during the morning peak load to power your household while significantly reducing expensive grid purchases.
In the evening - AI detects when the next day will be cloudy and ensures that the Solarbank 3 Pro is charged from the grid at low cost the night before. This means you are well prepared for the next morning. In self-consumption mode, the Solarbank focuses on fully discharging the battery during the low-cost evening hours, allowing you to make the most of this time. No energy is reserved for the next morning, allowing you to take full advantage of the low rates.

Anker Intelligence (AI)

The balcony power plant storage unit is equipped with AI. This system ensures that your data privacy is protected while analyzing your electricity consumption data, location information, weather conditions, and habits to make daily predictions about electricity usage. It uses real-time solar yield data together with weather forecasts and tariff changes to manage your energy optimally. It notices early on if there will be surplus electricity available the next day and informs you in good time. With smart plugs, for example, you can easily set automatic charging times to use electricity efficiently and avoid losses.

Automatic setting (e-bike example) – After you receive the reminder about the remaining electricity, you can set AI with one click to automatically charge your e-bike via smart plugs as soon as energy is still available in your household.
Manual setting - After receiving the reminder, you have the option of easily activating various devices and charging them during the reserve period using a third-party smart app such as Alexa or Apple Kit.
Data collection - Data is collected, used, and processed in strict accordance with the relevant laws and regulations. We follow the principle of data minimization by only collecting the information that is really necessary.
Data transmission - Sophisticated encryption technologies, together with robust firewall measures, ensure the protection and security of your user data both during transmission and storage.
Data storage - We rely on the reliable cloud services of AWS and Azure and comply with numerous international security certification standards, including CSA-STAR, to provide first-class security standards.
Design - From the outset, it is based on the principles of "Privacy by Design" (PbD) by embedding data protection controls in the design phase. This ensures comprehensive protection of your data and guarantees compliance with legal, fair, and transparent data processing procedures.

1200W bidirectional charging power

The storage system offers a powerful 1200W inverter that can both charge and discharge electricity. It stores energy when the sun is shining less or electricity rates are low, and cleverly takes advantage of dynamic rates. This means it charges when rates are low and discharges electricity when rates are higher. This allows you to save optimally and extend the life of the battery. It is also equipped with an impressive 1200W off-grid AC outlet, which is 20% more powerful than the previous generation. It provides you with a reliable power supply even during power outages by efficiently using stored energy to keep important household appliances running and your everyday life running smoothly.

Dynamic tariffs explained

The Anker app shows you the current electricity prices based on the wholesale prices of the Nord Pool exchange. You can easily keep an eye on prices, regardless of which provider you are with, and efficiently reduce your electricity bill with Solarbank. To keep track of things and generate your data in real time, an electricity meter can be integrated into the system. Solarbank cleverly deals with price fluctuations: it stores electricity from the grid when prices are low and supplies your home when prices rise. This is particularly useful in winter when there is less sun, so you can save money every time the tariff changes.

Flexibility - Only use electricity when it is cheapest. The app or AI helps you do this.
Smart technology - Increase the efficiency of your energy management with energy storage, intelligent smart home devices, and user-friendly automation options.
Energy awareness – Ideal for households with high energy needs that want to reduce their costs and use their electricity intelligently.
Nord Pool – With the Anker app, you can access the current wholesale prices from Nord Pool at any time and view electricity price forecasts. No matter which provider you use, the app helps you keep an eye on prices and reduce your electricity bill.
