With virtual power plant (VPP)-ready and whole-home backup capability coming soon, the new X1 marks a significant milestone on Australia’s path toward whole-home energy independence and a greener, smarter future.
Redefining energy independence for Australian homes
Driven by the government’s “Cheaper Home Batteries” initiative, Australia’s demand for hybrid systems that combine solar and storage continues to surge.
In response, the upgraded Anker SOLIX X1 delivers higher efficiency, simplified installation, and robust reliability—enabling households to store more energy, save more on bills, and live more sustainably.
Matching Australia’s modern architectural aesthetics, X1’s contemporary, ultra-slim profile (only 15 cm thick) fits perfectly into narrow spaces while maintaining powerful capacity.
Built for local conditions, it withstands coastal humidity and heat with a C5-M anti-corrosion rating and premium materials tested to 90 hours of CASS exposure, ensuring durability from -20°C to 55°C.
By integrating with Amber and Origin’s VPP platforms, homeowners can connect their X1 system to the grid for smart, automated energy trading—unlocking the full potential of home energy storage and significantly reducing electricity costs.
Smarter retrofit and scalable performance
With over 3.7 million residential PV systems already installed across Australia, the demand for storage retrofits continues to grow.
Even without major upgrades, the AC-coupled model is a perfect match for existing solar setups, supporting seamless retrofits that transform PV systems into complete energy storage and backup solutions—cutting costs and boosting ROI.
The hybrid single-phase model supports a parallel connection of two units, delivering up to 10 kW of output and 60 kWh of storage capacity—reaching the maximum 50 kWh rebate limit while meeting larger and more dynamic energy needs. Parallel connection enables four MPPT channels, optimising solar production from different roof orientations for maximum output all day, all year.
Power without pause: whole-home backup made simple
Set to debut in Q1 2026, Power Dock Pro is an intelligent energy gateway that simplifies whole‑home backup power integration. Featuring a built‑in meter and optimised wiring design, it saves up to 30% in installation time while supporting parallel connection and flexible whole‑home backup options. Seamlessly compatible with solar and generator* systems, Power Doc Pro delivers smarter, faster, and more reliable energy for every home.
*Generator compatibility will be available in a future update.
Smarter together: storage and charging in one
The headline innovation of this year’s exhibition was the synergy between X1 Energy Storage System and the new Anker SOLIX V1 Smart EV Charger.
Connected through the Anker SOLIX App, the two products create a unified smart-energy ecosystem that syncs solar, battery, and EV data for dynamic energy optimisation—cutting household electricity expenses by up to 88% and installation time by 25%.
V1 Smart Charger features IntelliGesture™, the world’s first gesture-based charging interface, allowing users to start, pause, or switch charging modes with a single swipe. Recently awarded the IFA 2025 Innovation Award in the Accessibility category, it showcases Anker’s user-centric design ethos—making clean energy more interactive and accessible for all.
Powering Australia’s next chapter of energy freedom
From VPP integration and the rise of solar-storage-charging systems to upcoming whole-home backup via Power Dock Pro, the upgraded Anker SOLIX X1 Home Energy Solution transforms power from a utility into an intelligent ecosystem—giving the user full control over their cleaner, smarter power.
“With a long‑term and sustainable commitment to Australia’s renewable‑energy transition, Anker SOLIX is empowering households to achieve true energy freedom through innovation,” said Symons Xie, General Manager of Anker SOLIX APAC.
