Anker Solarbank 3 Sees Sharp Price Cuts in Germany as Retailers Bundle 2,000 W Mini-PV Sets

Lower €1,099 battery pricing with €1,299 2,000‑watt bundles lowers the barrier to plug‑in home solar with backup power.

Overview

  • Dealer Kleines Kraftwerk now lists the Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro at €1,099 with a free Smart Meter and offers a 2,000 W Quattro set from €1,299 with free shipping, while its 1,000 W set is also priced at €1,299.
  • Rival promotions include Solago’s 2,000 W bundle with the new Solarbank 3 at €1,379 plus a free Smart Meter, and Plugin Energy’s cashback that brings the standalone battery to €965.
  • The 2.68–2.7 kWh LiFePO4 unit integrates an inverter (800 W continuous, up to 1,200 W peak), supports up to 3,600 W PV input, expands to roughly 16 kWh, and carries IP65 weather protection and a backup function.
  • Plugin Energy notes that using the full 3,600 W PV input requires at least one additional BP2700 battery, and multiple reports advise purchasing from certified dealers to avoid grey‑market stock.
  • User testing of a 2,000 W Quattro setup with the Solarbank 3 reported about 280 kWh in the first month and estimated monthly savings of roughly €30–€60, with installation described as simple except for Smart Meter work that needed an electrician.
