German Retailers Cut Prices on XXL Mini‑PV Bundles Featuring Anker’s Solarbank 3 Pro

Germany’s 800‑watt plug‑in cap means only 2,000‑Wp sets qualify as mini‑PV, with 4,000‑Wp kits treated as full PV systems requiring registration.

Overview

  • Solago and Kleines Kraftwerk are advertising time‑limited complete sets pairing four 500‑Wp bifacial panels with Anker’s Solarbank 3 Pro for roughly €1,149–€1,299, while 4,000‑Wp eight‑panel bundles are listed around €1,499.
  • Anker’s Solarbank 3 Pro integrates a ~2.68 kWh battery and inverter in one unit, expands to about 16 kWh, supports app control and smart‑meter optimization, and offers a blackout outlet reported up to around 1,200 W.
  • Bundles typically include a smart meter and MC4 cabling, with optional mounting kits; some sellers offer discounted shipping or local pickup, aiming at simple plug‑and‑play installation and higher self‑consumption.
  • German rules cap plug‑in feed‑in at about 800 W and generally guide module capacity to ~2,000 W for steckerfertig use, whereas 4,000‑Wp configurations fall under regular PV rules that require registration and professional installation.
  • Publishers cite power prices near €0.35/kWh and present 1–2 year payback scenarios under favorable conditions; as an alternative, EcoFlow’s new Stream Ultra X offers 3.84 kWh storage at €1,299 launch price with higher input limits and direct AC outputs.
