Early hands-on tests suggest high self-consumption when storage pairs with smart control.

Overview

  • Retailer Solarmars lists Anker’s new SOLIX Power Dock at 269 euros introductory price with a code, with the hub supporting up to four Solarbank units for about 64 kWh capacity, 4.8 kW output and AI-based energy management, with the dock itself requiring an electrician for installation.
  • Maxxisun’s Maxxicharge V2 CCU is marketed with bidirectional control, zero-export management and a dual backup setup that includes a 1,200‑watt Schuko emergency output and a seamless one‑phase backup option via fixed wiring and grid isolation.
  • A Chip.de report on a Bremen family’s four‑panel EcoFlow Stream Ultra X setup found weekly grid imports dropped below 20 percent in some periods, with a smart meter helping schedule appliance use to match PV production.
  • Maxxisun cites an example package price of roughly 2,800 euros for a 2,000‑watt system with a 5 kWh battery, smart meter and accessories, while discounted standalone Maxxicharge batteries are advertised at 1,949 euros (5 kWh) and 1,449 euros (3 kWh).
  • Yuma promotes a 2,000‑watt bifacial four‑panel kit with an EcoFlow Stream Ultra storage base of 1.92 kWh expandable to 12 kWh, bundled with a smart meter and app control at 949 euros, with the maker claiming up to 1,399 kWh per year and higher yield from bifacial modules.
