Maximising the Usable Energy of Home Battery Storage in Harsh Climates: Anker SOLIX's Modular Design and Innovative Optimiser Technology

The electric grid that homes and businesses depend on can be vulnerable to outages during extreme weather events and energy shortages, a situation exacerbated by a lack of investment and ageing infrastructure. Today, more and more households are turning to smart solutions such as solar PV and batteries to protect themselves against outages, while reducing their carbon footprint and increasing control and independence over their energy costs. 

However, choosing the right battery storage solution can be challenging for homeowners and their installers. One choice to make is between integrated and parallel-connected battery systems. 

When users choose an integrated battery, they may be unable to match the capacity to their specific needs, leading to additional costs. In contrast, normal parallel-connected batteries often face compatibility issues, preventing them from achieving module-level optimisation. Additionally, series batteries can suffer from the "barrel effect" due to variations in State of Charge (SoC) and State of Health (SoH) among different battery packs, leading to energy loss across the entire system. 

Performance Stability in Extreme Cold: Users expressed significant concern about the reliability of solar and storage systems in extremely cold environments, with more and more homeowners considering “whole-home power and instant UPS” as the most valuable feature of a solar power system in extreme weather, given the numerous snowstorms in European history. Global warming is exacerbating climate and weather instability across regions. With increasingly unpredictable climate conditions, the reliability of these  energy storage systems during the next harsh winter remains uncertain. 

The Anker SOLIX X1 offers an extreme solution that leverages innovative technology to address the aforementioned issues, ensuring a continuous and reliable supply that meets the diverse needs of any household.
