Frequently asked questions about the Anker SOLIX home battery

Do I need an installer for the Solarbank 3 plug-in home battery?

No fixed electrical installation is required for the Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro, provided the system is used in accordance with the manual and local regulations. By plugging it into a grounded wall socket, the system is immediately operational. This makes it a suitable plug-in home battery for rental properties or as a balcony battery. If in doubt, always consult a certified electrician and check the applicable local regulations.

Why is an Anker SOLIX home battery financially attractive now?

As feed-in tariffs decline, a home battery is becoming financially attractive for many households. With an Anker SOLIX home battery, the share of self-consumption can be significantly increased, depending on the consumption profile, PV yield and system configuration. This helps you avoid feeding solar energy back to the grid at low or unfavourable export rates.

How does the backup function of the Anker SOLIX X1 home battery work?

The Anker SOLIX X1 features Black-Start technology and a switching time of approximately 10 ms, depending on the system configuration. This allows essential appliances such as internet, lighting and the freezer to remain available during a power outage, depending on the connected circuit groups. This makes the X1 a home battery with backup power function for selected circuit groups.

Is the Anker SOLIX X1 suitable for coastal locations?

Yes. The Anker SOLIX X1 is equipped with C5-M anti-corrosion coating, providing protection against salt air and humid coastal environments. Always verify the specific installation requirements and applicable local standards before commissioning.

What is the storage capacity of the Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro?

The Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro has a base capacity of 2.68 kWh and is modularly expandable with additional battery modules. The system supports a PV input of up to 3600W, depending on configuration. The Anker SOLIX X1 offers a storage capacity of 5 kWh to 30 kWh, depending on the number of coupled battery modules.

Technical support for installers

For installers and service technicians, we have compiled the most common Anker SOLIX X1 error codes and installation questions below.

View error codes and technical support

Communication issues (A5, A6, A7)

A5 — Battery module communication fault

Error code A5 indicates a communication problem between battery modules. Check the communication cables between the battery modules, verify that the 120Ω termination resistor is present on the last module, and reactivate the battery by holding the on/off button for 3 to 5 seconds. After any changes to the cabling, the system must be fully restarted.

A6 — Grid meter communication fault

Error code A6 indicates that communication with the grid meter has been interrupted. Check that the 20-pin connector is correctly seated and that the grid meter communication cable is connected to the correct port.

A7 — PV meter communication fault

Error code A7 indicates that communication with the PV meter has been interrupted. Check that the communication cable is correctly connected in accordance with the Anker SOLIX wiring diagram.

Grid and CT error codes (A60, P36, P81)

A60 — CT clamp fault

Error code A60 indicates a fault in the CT clamps (current transformers). Check that the arrow on each CT clamp points towards the Power Module, and verify that L1, L2 and L3 correctly correspond to the connected CT clamps.

P36 — Grid Interconnection Relay Fault

Error code P36 indicates a Grid Interconnection Relay Fault. Check that the backup installation is fully isolated from the public grid. Also inspect all AC grid, AC backup and neutral connections for loose connections or poor contacts.

P81 — Grid deviation detected

Error code P81 indicates that the system has detected a deviation in the electricity grid. Check for a grid disturbance, inspect the RCD, check the AC wiring and consider reducing the Peak Shaving setting if circuit breakers are tripping.

PV error codes (P53, P54, P55, P56)

P53 / P54 — PV voltage too high

Error code P53 or P54 indicates that the voltage on a PV string is too high. This is usually caused by too many solar panels connected in series. Reduce the number of panels so that the open-circuit voltage remains below the maximum system voltage of 1000V.

P55 / P56 — PV polarity reversed

Error code P55 or P56 indicates that the polarity of a PV string is reversed. Check that PV+ is connected to PV+ and PV− to PV− before switching the system back on.

Installation and commissioning issues

System shuts down unexpectedly

If the X1 shuts down unexpectedly, check the voltage and impedance on the AC grid and AC backup circuit breakers. Then inspect the wiring. If the system operates correctly when PV and battery are disconnected, the cause is usually in the PV installation. If the problem persists, the PCS module may be faulty.

Bluetooth connection not working during installation

Check that the WiFi/Bluetooth dongle is correctly connected, that the LED indicator is active and that no other phone is connected to the system. Then restart the Anker SOLIX app and Bluetooth and attempt to reconnect.

Commissioning not yet completed — switch off the system

If commissioning is not carried out immediately via the Anker SOLIX App, the system must be fully switched off. Otherwise the battery may become deeply discharged within a few days and be permanently damaged. Hold the black start button for 8 seconds and then set the BAT switch to OFF.
