Daily performance of the Anker Solarbank 2 Pro in real-life scenarios: A look at its efficacy in regular practice as a balcony power plant
The Anker Solarbank 3 Pro, in conjunction with the Quattro balcony power system, offers a smart and cost-effective solution for those seeking to harness solar energy effortlessly. This innovative product boasts a series of impressive upgrades over its predecessor, the Solarbank 2 Pro.
One of the most significant improvements is the Solarbank 3 Pro's ability to handle higher solar input power. With a maximum capacity of 3600 W, it can connect up to 8 solar panels, a substantial increase from previous models, enabling greater solar energy harvesting.
In terms of capacity, a single Solarbank 3 Pro unit provides approximately 2.68–2.7 kWh of battery storage, expandable up to 16 kWh with additional modules. This expandability allows for longer energy autonomy, potentially lasting through nights or multiple days depending on consumption.
For energy management, the Solarbank 3 Pro introduces "Anker Intelligence," an AI-powered system that optimally manages battery charging and grid usage. By learning the household’s energy consumption profile and downloading weather forecasts each evening, it ensures charging during off-peak hours if no sun is expected and prioritizes solar energy use when available. This smart optimization helps users approach nearly free electricity and reduces grid dependence.
Additional features include a bidirectional inverter with charging power up to 1200 W, IP65 weather resistance for outdoor durability, and enhanced thermal management with battery self-regulation and an integrated heating system for cold conditions.
Jens, one of the early adopters, has been running his Solarbank 3 Pro system reliably since its installation and reports that it performs well even in less sunny months. After installation, the system started generating and storing energy immediately.
The Solarbank 3 Pro is now available at Kleines Kraftwerk for 1,399 euros, including shipping and a free smart meter. It is also Smart Home-capable and can be easily integrated into existing systems.
Compact power plant, the manufacturer, offers a range of plug & play solar solutions, including the Solarbank 3, flexible solar modules, and suitable brackets, all renowned for their quality and robustness.
For users who want to start with two, three, or four solar modules and flexibly store their power, the Solarbank 3 Pro is an ideal choice. Its German-made brackets ensure durability and high-quality performance.
In summary, the Solarbank 3 Pro offers increased solar input power, greater expandability in battery capacity, advanced AI-driven energy management, the ability to connect more solar modules, and improved thermal management and weather protection, making it a substantially more powerful and intelligent solution for balcony solar power plants.
