Competition in solar energy storage for balcony power plants: Which contender leads - Anker Solix Solar Bank or the Unnamed Contender?

In the realm of renewable energy, balcony power plants are becoming increasingly popular. Two notable solar storage systems that stand out are the Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2 Pro and the SPAUN Energy Master.

The Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2 Pro and SPAUN Energy Master offer a range of sizes to cater to various energy needs. The Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2 Pro is available in sizes from 1.6 kWh to 9.6 kWh, while the SPAUN Energy Master ranges from 2.5 kWh to 12.5 kWh, and can even be expanded up to 42.5 kWh, making it more capacious than the Anker model. Both systems are modular, allowing for expansion with additional storage components.

The SPAUN Energy Master is developed with customer feedback and European requirements in mind, ensuring a product that meets the needs of its users. It boasts a maximum input power of 2200 Watt and a maximum output power of up to 1750 Watt, outperforming the Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2 Pro in terms of output power.

One key feature of the SPAUN Energy Master is its compatibility with five different smart meters, not just SPAUN's digital power meter, but also devices from Shelly and EcoTracker. This versatility allows for seamless integration into existing smart home systems.

The SPAUN Energy Master also comes with an emergency power function, providing peace of mind during power outages. On the other hand, the Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2 Pro includes a smart meter, making it an intelligent storage system that supports the so-called zero feed-in, ensuring that no electricity is lost to the public grid.

The price of the SPAUN Energy Master is impressive, with one kWh costing from 192 euros, depending on the size of the storage system. The product is manufactured by the company DURA-Solar, and with the code "our website50", the price is further reduced.

The use of energy storage systems for balcony power plants is recommended to store generated electricity for use during cloudy hours or at night. This is made more attractive by recent political changes, as the permitted feed-in of plug-and-play solar devices has increased from 600 to 800 watts, and allows an overload of the balcony power plant up to 2000 watts.

The German government has also simplified the use of balcony power plants through the Solar Package 1, simplifying registration with the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) and eliminating the need for a notification to the network operator.

The Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2, a market leader in storage systems for balcony power plants, co-developed by the company Small Power Plant, is another strong contender in the solar storage market. It has a capacity of 1.6 kilowatt hours and is modularly expandable, allowing the connection of several storage systems in series to store more energy.

In conclusion, both the Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2 Pro and the SPAUN Energy Master are robust and efficient solar storage systems that cater to the needs of balcony power plant owners. The choice between the two depends on individual energy requirements, budget, and preferred features.
