Anker goes big with new whole home backup system

"The base $4,299 E10 system starts with one Power Module and one battery that can keep a few individual appliances running, and scale up to power an entire home. The 110.2-pound inverter is good for a steady 7.68kW output (or 10kW for 90 minutes). It can produce up to 28.8kW (120 LRA) peak when fitted with a single 6kWh battery, or 37.2kW (155 LRA) when configured with two or more batteries - enough to start a 5-ton air conditioner."

"Combine three maxed out E10 systems to handle up to 27kW of solar input (9kW per unit) and 90kWh of battery storage. For context, the average US home consumes about 889kWh per month, or about 29.2kWh per day, according to the US Energy Information Administration. That means that a maxed out E10 system could run an entire home for three days on battery alone."

"For most people, having that much battery capacity available is overkill and very expensive. Instead you can start with a simpler system to only power the most critical circuits. Anker makes this possible in a few ways, and both require professional installation: A new Power Dock electrical panel that gives homeowner's intelligent control and automatic cutover of up to 12 circuits (200 amps) in less than 20ms, and the simpler Smart Inlet that requires manual intervention."

Anker's Solix E10 system starts at $4,299 with one Power Module and one battery and can scale to power an entire home. The 110.2-pound inverter delivers a continuous 7.68kW output (10kW for 90 minutes) and peak surge capacity up to 37.2kW with multiple batteries. Up to three E10 systems can accept 27kW of solar input (9kW per unit) and provide 90kWh of storage, roughly three days of power for an average U.S. home. Selective circuit backup is available via a Power Dock panel with automatic cutover or a manual Smart Inlet. A tri-fuel Smart Generator 5500 offers automatic backup and maintenance reminders.
