Overview
- Retailers posted new Tuesday offers, with Solakon’s 2,000 W plug‑in kit at €384.99 plus €99.99 shipping and bundled sets with batteries near €1,000 from ACTEC, Sicatron and Kleines Kraftwerk.
- ACTEC advertises immediate availability for a 2,000 W kit with a 2.05 kWh Growatt Nexa 2000 storage unit at €999, which contrasts with the 4–10 week waits many sellers quote.
- Using 2,000 W of panels under Germany’s 800 W feed limit keeps output near the cap for more hours, lifting annual yield to roughly 1,600–2,000 kWh and saving about €300–€450 without a battery.
- Storage has become the default add‑on, with the Anker SOLIX Solarbank 3 Pro (2.68 kWh, expandable to about 16 kWh) and rivals like Growatt’s Nexa 2000 boosting self‑consumption through smart‑meter control and built‑in inverters.
- CHIP reports a datasheet listing for an unannounced Anker Solarbank 4 Pro “E5000,” which would suggest a 5 kWh module if confirmed and points to larger, cheaper batteries on the way.
