Anker Solix X1: Sleek, Modular & Powerful

The Anker Solix X1 is different from the onset.

It’s sleek, modular and compact. It’s a beautiful futuristic piece of technology that commands attention when it’s set up.

And its smarter design starts from just the case itself.

Before you even pull up your app, Anker Solix X1 gives you real-time data on your energy flow, usage and battery charge level. This feature is not even found yet on the Tesla Powerwall.

There’s just so many things to love.

About the Brand: Anker Solix

There’s a good chance you already own something Anker made.

Anker Innovations started in 2011 with a simple idea: phone chargers and power banks should just work. That idea turned into one of the most trusted names in consumer electronics, in millions of homes, backpacks and glove boxes around the world.

In 2023, Anker took that thinking somewhere far more ambitious. It launched Anker Solix, a dedicated home energy brand built around solar storage, home backup and smart energy management. Same obsession with reliability, much bigger job.

The Anker Solix X1 is the flagship of that range, and you can tell. Inverter, battery modules, backup and energy management, all folded into one modular unit that looks genuinely good on a wall. It’s the kind of product that makes people ask what it is.

Here in Australia, the Anker Solix X1 is Clean Energy Council approved and VPP capable. So as long as it is installed by a SAA-accredited installer, within 5 - 100 kWh nominal capacity, connected to eligible solar PV, and is installed compliantly, it qualifies for the Federal Battery Rebate and plays nicely with the Amber, GloBird Energy and Origin VPPs.

A brand you already trust for the small stuff, now handling the biggest energy decision your home will make.

Key Features

All-in-one Battery System

The Anker Solix X1 combines inverter, battery modules and energy management system into a single, compact unit.

See Power Use in Real-Time

On the interactive light strips or LCD screen, you’ll be able to see a real-time view of your Anker battery’s power use. From a glance, you’ll know whether your battery is working and in use. Even before you pull up the app on your phone.

Fast Backup*

In under 10 milliseconds, the Anker Solix X1 switches over to back up power fast. When paired with the Power Dock Pro, the Solix X1 achieves load switching in just 0 ms. Talk about seamless power. Be prepared to gloat to your neighbours when your house keeps the lights and tv on during a blackout, while the rest of the street goes dark.

*Optional feature only.

Auto-isolating Modular Energy Storage

When one module runs into a fault or shuts off, the whole system doesn’t. It means you have more power and storage, for longer. Even before you get the issue fixed.

Battery Chemistry

Modern solar batteries in Australia favour Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP). It’s what Anker’s current generation of batteries also use. LFP batteries have a greater thermal stability. This means lower risk of overheating and long cycle life for the cost of the battery, compared to solar batteries that have come before.

Clean Energy Council Approved

The Anker Solix X1 has received Clean Energy Council’s approval, which means it’s been lab tested for safety, performance, and durability to meet our strict Australian Standards. It also means that the battery is eligible for government incentives, like the Federal Battery Rebate.

VPP Capable

Anker Solix X1 is VPP capable, which makes it in line with requirements for the Federal Battery Rebate and for the NSW PDRS Scheme. It also allows you to connect your home energy storage to GloBird, Amber or Origin, to unlock greater savings for your household, faster.

Built Tough & Able to Withstand Australia Outdoors

C5-M Corrosion Resistance rated for the coast, thermal boosted for extreme high and low temperatures, and IP66/65 for dust and rain. Anker Solix X1 is designed for endurance, and is able to take what the Australian outdoors throws at it.

Anker Solix X1 + Power Dock Pro gives you whole house backup power

The Power Dock Pro is what keeps your whole home running through a blackout.

It’s a smart control box your electrician fits beside your switchboard. Not a battery, not solar. It’s the brain that connects the grid, your battery, your solar and your house, and moves power where it’s needed the moment anything changes.

That means you’re not picking a few circuits to keep alive and living on those. The whole house stays on, no flicker, nothing to switch over. And your rooftop, with any compatible third-party solar, keeps generating through the outage and refilling the battery, when normally it would shut off the moment the grid drops.

The battery works without it, just on selected circuits instead.

Real Time Data From a Glance

Anker Intelligence™ Smart Mode sets up your battery for automated savings

When Smart Mode is activated, AI intelligence selects what to do with surplus electricity and manages charging/discharging for you.

Through forecasting your future electricity production, weather, usage, and electricity prices, Anker Solix’s Smart Mode decides on an optimised power schedule for you.

What this might look like:

  • It may mean discharging your solar battery’s excess power to the grid in periods of high demand, when prices are high
  • Deciding the best time to start a wash with your washing machine or dry clothes in your dryer
  • Deciding the best time to charge your e-bike or EV

Note: Anker Solix X1’s smart mode can only control devices and household appliances that are connected through a compatible Anker smart-plug or EV-charger integration.

VPP Capable to Help You Pay Off Your Investment Faster

Anker Solix batteries are VPP capable and compatible with several VPPs:

Giving you some great options to connect into programs to pay off your battery faster and save.

What is a VPP?

A VPP is a Virtual Power Plant. It’s a decentralised energy network, where homeowners with a solar battery opt into a program that allows an energy retailer to withdraw stored energy from their battery during times of peak demand, in return for premium feed-in tariffs or other incentives.

One requirement that batteries need to be eligible for the Federal Battery Rebate, is that they need to be VPP capable. (Although, at the same time, you’re not forced into a VPP if you don’t want to opt in.)

The one exception to this rebate requirement is off-grid. Off-grid properties more than 1km from the grid do not need VPP capability.

Why Anker Solix?

Starts small, grows with you

Five kilowatt hours today, thirty if you need it later. Add an EV, put in a pool, have another kid, and the battery follows along instead of forcing you to buy big up front.

It looks after itself

Smart Mode watches the weather, your usage and electricity prices, then optimises when to store power and when to sell it back. You don't have to learn anything or open an app.

It keeps going when things go wrong

If one module has a fault, the rest carry on. Your home doesn't skip a beat while you wait for a technician.

Built for where you actually live

Salt air, forty-degree summers, dust, driving rain. The Anker Solix X1 is rated for all of it — the difference between a battery that lasts its warranty and one that doesn't.

The paperwork side is covered

Clean Energy Council approval and VPP capability mean the X1 can qualify for the Federal Battery Rebate if your install meets the other eligibility requirements.

Earn it back faster

VPP capability lets you connect to Amber, GloBird or Origin, so your battery can pay itself off sooner instead of just sitting on the wall.

Why Solar Battery Group?

A battery is only as good as the people who size it, install it and pick up the phone three years later.

We have been doing this for over ten years, across more than 40,000 Australian homes. That makes us the country’s largest dedicated solar battery installer, and it means we have seen just about every roof, tariff and awkward side passage the job can throw at us.

That experience shows up in the advice you get. We look at how your household actually uses power, what you pay for it, and where you are headed. An EV next year changes the answer. We size your Anker Solix around that, not around a package we are trying to shift.

We also keep the paperwork off your plate. Federal Battery Rebate, state schemes, VPP sign-ups with Amber, GloBird or Origin. We work out what you qualify for and handle the forms.

Every install goes to an SAA accredited installer using Clean Energy Council approved products, under the NETCC Code of Conduct. Our pricing is backed by a Best Price Guarantee.

Ten years (of your battery warranty’s life) is a long relationship, and we intend to be around for it.
