Anker SOLIX X1 offers effective solar power storage for your home backup
Anker SOLIX X1 solar battery storage outside with family nearby

A major challenge of solar power as a primary energy source is that, as abundant as it is, it's not always available. Solar systems do not generate energy at night, obviously, but energy production is reduced during overcast, dark, or stormy days. Moreover, other factors can affect energy production, like the cleanliness or condition of the solar panels and the amount of sunlight they get during the day -- which can be influenced by the sun's location in the sky or where the panels are installed -- and much more. It simply means that to use solar energy systems effectively, you need some kind of storage device to preserve energy for use during the off-hours. While several products on the market do this, the X1 from Anker SOLIX is one of the most intriguing and powerful solar energy storage systems we’ve seen.

The X1 provides three main benefits: Energy backup, energy savings, and energy freedom. Ultimately, it harnesses and stores energy during the day for use at night or during outages to achieve always-on power. It stays available even when traditional grid power would not be. Of course, there are many more reasons why you might install the X1 in your home. In the future, it will also be able to charge your EVs, for example. Let's take a closer look at what else it can do.
