After debuting its newest home backup solutions at CES last week, Anker has officially introduced the Solix E10. Marketed as the “world’s first smart hybrid whole-home backup system,” the Solix E10 integrates a smart fuel generator, battery storage, and solar input with both automatic and manual switching options, providing nearly limitless backup power.
According to Anker, a single Solix E10 unit can deliver up to 37.2 kW of power—more than enough to power high-demand appliances such as a 5-ton air conditioner. Up to three additional units can be connected in parallel to achieve a total of 90 kWh of storage capacity, designed to supply more backup power during outages or high-demand situations.
The Power Dock features an instant 20-millisecond automatic switch that seamlessly transfers power to backup sources without harming connected devices. Alternatively, users can connect the Solix E10 to a Smart Inlet Box for a more budget-friendly setup, though this configuration requires manual switching during power interruptions.
Each Solix E10 supports up to 9 kW of solar input per unit, which increases to 27 kW when three units are combined. Anker states that it is compatible with all types of solar panels, including rigid, portable, and third-party AC systems. Additionally, the system can be charged directly with a smart generator via a DC connection, potentially extending backup runtime up to five times longer than traditional AC generators.
Pre-orders begin today through Anker’s website, with product availability scheduled for February 4. The basic package, which includes an inverter and a battery, is priced at $4,299. A bundle that adds the Smart Inlet Box costs $4,599. The higher-tier options include the Solix E10 paired with the Power Dock for $5,799, and a premium bundle with the Smart Generator available for $7,399. All configurations come with a standard five-year warranty, with pre-order customers receiving an additional three-year extension. Early purchasers can also take advantage of a $500 discount and a gift pack valued at over $1,500, which includes a 400W solar panel, with just a $10 deposit required to reserve a unit.
