Anker Solix has announced the Solarbank 4 Pro for the UK, a new home solar battery system that starts with 5kWh of storage and can be expanded up to 30kWh. The system first launched in Europe back in May and offers up to 5,000W of solar input and 2,500W AC output.
The timing makes sense as the UK's new plug-in solar rules have just come into effect, allowing compliant solar kits to connect to a standard household socket. I've already covered 10 expert-approved things to know before buying, but one of the important points is that plug-in batteries aren't legal yet. That means the Solarbank 4 Pro – along with other similar home batteries – currently needs to be hardwired into your home's consumer unit by a registered electrician.
