I cannot provide any information on this at present. However, I have gladly forwarded your product request to our purchasing department so that it can possibly be included in our range.
I downloaded the declaration of conformity from the Anker website and sent it to my electricity provider, who accepted it and registered the system as plug and play, but please note that the feed-in is set to 600 watts via the app, which is also the specification for plug and play systems.
You can connect a 1500 W fridge to this system, but it's important to consider the maximum power output of the battery, which is 800 W for the standard model. This means that the fridge will exceed the maximum power output, which may not be compatible. You might want to consider a configuration with multiple batteries to increase the available power output.
No, it does not have built-in residual current detection. However, all installations in Switzerland should already be equipped accordingly. Otherwise, connect an extension cable with RCD.
Enclosed you will find the declaration of conformity:

The Anker Solix Solarbank 2 E1600 Pro cannot feed directly into the grid like a balcony power station. It is a home storage system that stores solar power and uses it for self-consumption. The integrated inverter allows the output power to be adjusted, but the device itself does not feed power directly into the public grid. Instead, the stored electricity is used for self-consumption to reduce dependence on the public grid.
I was able to request one and sent it to you directly by e-mail as an exception. In such cases, I recommend that you contact our customer service team directly so that we can deal with your enquiry individually.
Hello Andre
When I placed my order, I ordered with Smart Meter. That is plus 97.00 Fr. There are suppliers who include it but the price is also higher. But with the Anker Soliix only the Anker Smart Meter works.
Greetings Ueli
We also offer the Anker Solix Solarbank 2 E 1600 Pro (1600 Wh, 21.80 kg) in our range. The product can be used in Switzerland. It fulfils the requirements for balcony power stations and offers simple plug-and-play installation.
The Anker solix 2 E 1600 Pro model has 1600Wh battery capacity, 4 inputs for 4 solar modules for a total of 2400W power, total 9600Wh storage capacity (with additional batteries), 1000W emergency power output socket, max. 600/800W feed into the domestic grid, zero feed can be made with AnkerSmartMeter.
The Anker solix 3 E 2700 Pro model has 2680Wh battery capacity, 4 inputs for max. 8 solar modules (with Y-cable) for a total of 3600W power, a total of 16000Wh storage capacity (with additional batteries), 1200W emergency power output socket, max. 600/800W feed-in to the domestic grid, zero feed-in can be realised with AnkerSmartMeter or Shelly 3.
With the Anker Solix 3 E 2700 you can allegedly benefit from dynamic energy tariffs with AI (and a connection to an internet portal) (charging at low prices, discharging at high prices). I don't know whether this is already available in Switzerland and whether you can benefit from it, but I don't think so.
Anker Solix 2 Pro is sufficient for a rented flat, but if you own a house with sufficient space, you could consider an Anker Solix 3 Pro. As the Anker Solix 3 pro is only just being launched, I would wait another 6...12 months before buying, by which time the first firmware bugs will have been fixed.
(My personal opinion).
The Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2 E1600 Plus supports a maximum photovoltaic input power of 1,200 W and an input current of 16 A per channel. To achieve the maximum output, it is recommended to use two solar panels with an output of around 600 W each. The following solar panels are specially designed for the SOLIX Solarbank 2 E1600 Plus:
Anker SOLIX Solix RS50B (540 W)
Please note that the solar panels must not be connected in series, as the input voltage would exceed the maximum PV input voltage of 60V and could damage the device.
I am not a regulations guru. I also don't know whether Anker Solix implicitly forbids this. My thoughts on this: A more or less "fixed installation" via a cable reel is never good, because of the installation regulations and because a current-carrying cable generates heat and a cable in coiled form cannot dissipate the heat well. The cable then heats up and the cable reel can overheat. If the cable still has damage to the insulation, this can lead to undefined short-circuit currents, which further favour overheating.
An alternative idea would be to buy a good, clean extension cable for outdoor applications (e.g. https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/brennenstuhl-verlaengerungsleitung-ch-230v10a-10m-h07bq-f-3g15-orange-kupplung-t1310a-stecker-t1210a-18760154) and then connect a multiple socket https://www.digitec.ch/de/search?q=netzkabel%20mehrfachsteckdose , then the "installation" is much better / safer in terms of heating.
The Anker Solix Solarbank 2 E1600 Plus can be coupled with a Blackglas solar table (440Wp) as it supports up to two solar panels. To make the connection, you must disconnect the MC4 cables from the pre-installed micro inverter on the solar table and connect them directly to the Anker Solix Solarbank 2 E1600 Plus. Make sure that the voltage and power of the solar table are compatible with the specifications of the solar bank. The solar bench supports a nominal voltage of 60 V and a nominal power of up to 2400 W.
The Anker Solix Solarbank 2 E 1600 Pro is suitable for use in a non-insulated, free-standing garden shed, but there are a few important points to bear in mind:
- Output power: The Solix Solarbank 2 E 1600 Pro delivers a maximum output power of 800W via the integrated AC output voltage.
- Starting current: The starting current of consumers should remain within the specifications of the devices. The Solix Solarbank 2 E 1600 Pro can supply up to 800W continuously, but the starting current (peak current) should not exceed the maximum specifications. For a chop saw that consumes a maximum of 1000 watts after starting, the starting current could be too high, as the devices normally have a higher starting current than the operating current. It is advisable to check the specific requirements of the cross-cut saw and ensure that the starting current remains within the capacity of the Solix Solarbank 2 E 1600 Pro.
- Operation with 240V power strip: The Solix Solarbank 2 E 1600 Pro provides an AC output voltage that is compatible with a 230V power strip, but it should not be connected directly to a 240V power strip as this is above the recommended operating voltage. It is important to operate the devices within the specified operating voltage to ensure safe and efficient use.
It is always advisable to check the specific requirements and limitations of the appliances to ensure safe and efficient use.
