Anker Solix Power Dock im Test: Modulare PV-Anlage für 32 Panels, zwei Wallboxen und Riesenakkus

The Anker Solix Power Dock fills a gap in solar power systems, bridging the gap between balcony solar panels and rooftop PV. Balcony solar panels can cost less than €300, but are limited to a maximum output of 800 watts. Rooftop photovoltaic systems deliver significantly more power, but require extensive planning and typically cost over €10,000. The Power Dock requires an initial installation and registration with an electrician, but can then be expanded independently. It allows integration of existing balcony solar panels, direct connection of new balcony solar panels, the integration of two wallboxes, and expansion of the system with Anker modules. Each solar module can power up to eight 3.6 kW PV panels, has a 2.7 kWh battery, and can be expanded with five additional 2.7 kW battery modules. Up to four of these stacks are possible, resulting in a total of 32 panels with 14.4 kW of power and 64 kWh of battery capacity. ``` ``` ``````````````````````)````) `` 3.6 kW PV panels, has a 2.7 kWh battery, and can be expanded with five additional 2.7 kW battery modules. `````````````` `` `` 64 kWh battery capacity. ` ... 64 kWh battery capacity. `` `` `` `` `` `` `` `` `` `` `` ` ` ` 64 kWh battery capacity. `` `` `` This video explains exactly what can be connected, which older Anker solar banks are compatible, and which measurement methods the Power Dock supports.
