Anker SOLIX has launched the X1 hybrid home energy storage solutions to reduce dependence on the grid, save money on energy bills and make the most of solar power.

The expansion of the X1 series is the next generation of hybrid energy battery systems as it joins existing AC solutions to give home owners more options to power homes efficiently.

The hybrid series is designed to make the change to solar easier by offering an all-in-one battery and module installation to seamlessly pair with a system of solar panels. The X1 series is made to withstand the harshest Australian weather conditions and testing ensured that it’s storm ready as it features IP66 protection against extreme dust and heavy rain.

Its advanced cooling systems allows it to maintain performance even in temperatures up to 55°C. The X1 series is ideal for Australian coastal properties as it’s equipped with a C5-M anti-corrosion coating so it’s protected from the effects of salty air while extending its lifespan.

When in a power failure, the X1 will switch to backup power in under ten milliseconds to provide continuous power during outages.

“As energy prices continue to rise and extreme weather events become more frequent, Australians are increasingly seeking reliable and cost-effective energy solutions,” SOLIX marketing manager Andreas Novoa says.

“The SOLIX X1 series enables households to maximise their solar power usage, reduce energy bills, and stay powered during outages, even in the harshest and most unpredictable climates. With the addition of our new sleek hybrid systems, we’re making the switch to a solar-powered home easier for Australian homeowners.”
