Signs You Need This Service

Not sure if you need anker backup power & solar installation? Here are the warning signs to watch for.

Using portable gas generator

Portable generators are noisy, require fuel storage, produce deadly CO, and need manual start. Battery backup solves all these problems.

Concerned about carbon monoxide

Gas generators cause CO poisoning deaths every year. Battery backup produces zero emissions and can operate indoors safely.

Noise restrictions in neighborhood

Gas generators can violate noise ordinances and annoy neighbors. Battery backup is virtually silent.

Want to use solar energy

Anker systems integrate with solar panels for renewable, free recharging during extended outages.

Need portable backup power

Unlike permanent generators, Anker power stations can be taken camping, to RVs, or to tailgates.

Small apartment or condo

Gas generators aren't allowed in most multi-family housing. Battery backup provides apartment-friendly backup power.

Eco-conscious homeowner

Zero emissions, solar charging, and quiet operation align with environmental values.

Working from home

Keep laptops, internet, and monitors running through short outages without generator noise disrupting video calls.

Our Process

1. Power Needs Assessment

We discuss what you want to keep running during outages—refrigerator, lights, WiFi router, medical equipment, sump pump. We calculate the wattage and runtime you need to determine the right system size.

2. System Design

Based on your needs, we design the optimal system: power station capacity, number of expansion batteries (if needed), solar panel wattage for recharging, and how it integrates with your home (portable use vs. hardwired).

3. Detailed Quote

You receive a quote covering the power station, expansion batteries, solar panels, mounting hardware, and any home integration components. We can supply equipment or install customer-purchased units.

4. Solar Panel Installation

If solar charging is included, we mount panels on your roof or ground mount, ensuring optimal sun exposure. Panels are securely fastened with weatherproof connections running to the power station location.

5. Power Station Setup

We unbox and configure the power station, connect expansion batteries, and position the unit in your desired location—garage, basement, or utility room. The unit is charged and tested.

6. Home Integration

For hardwired systems, we install the home power panel that connects the power station to your chosen circuits. A transfer mechanism ensures safe, automatic switchover when utility power fails.

7. App Setup & Training

We install the Anker app on your phone, configure notifications, and demonstrate system operation. You'll learn how to monitor charge status, manage loads, and switch between grid and battery power.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about anker backup power & solar installation

What can an Anker SOLIX power station run?

The SOLIX F3800 (3.84kWh) can power a refrigerator for 20+ hours, run multiple devices simultaneously, and even power small HVAC units. We'll help you size the right system for your needs.

Do I need solar panels for the power station?

Solar panels are optional but recommended for extended outages and off-grid use. The power station can also charge from wall outlets or your car.

How does it connect to my home?

We install a home integration panel that connects the power station to specific circuits (refrigerator, lights, etc.) via a transfer switch for seamless backup power.

Is professional installation required?

For portable use, no. For home integration with transfer switches and solar panel mounting, professional installation ensures safety, code compliance, and warranty coverage.

How long do Anker batteries last?

Anker SOLIX batteries are rated for 3,000+ charge cycles with 80% capacity retention—typically 10+ years of regular use.

Can I expand the system later?

Yes! SOLIX systems are modular. We can add expansion batteries and additional solar panels as your power needs grow.

How does battery backup compare to a gas generator?

Battery backup is silent, requires no fuel, produces no emissions, and needs minimal maintenance. Trade-off: limited capacity vs. unlimited runtime with gas.

Can this power my whole house?

For extended periods, no. Battery backup is best for essential circuits: fridge, lights, internet, and medical devices. For whole-home backup, consider a generator.
