German Retailers Slash Prices on Plug‑and‑Play Balcony PV Bundles Featuring Anker SOLIX 3

A deep discount on a 2 kW kit with Anker’s SOLIX Solarbank 3 makes plug‑and‑play home solar far cheaper and could shorten payback times for many buyers.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported that retailer Kleines Kraftwerk is selling a 2,000 W bundle of four 500 W bifacial modules plus an Anker SOLIX Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro, smart meter and cables for about €1,307, a deal widely publicized on Friday.
  • The Anker SOLIX Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro in the sets is a tested premium all‑in‑one battery with about 2.68 kWh base capacity, expandable to roughly 16 kWh, up to 3,600 W solar DC input, an integrated inverter and a 1,200 W backup output.
  • Kits include a smart meter and plug‑and‑play cabling so most users can install without major electrical work but must still register the system in Germany’s Marktstammdatenregister and respect rules that limit grid feed‑in to around 800 W.
  • Cheaper, capable alternatives are on sale too — for example the Solakon ONE is reported at about €589 and the EcoFlow STREAM Ultra around €599 — creating clear entry, mid and premium price tiers for small PV plus storage systems.
  • Analysts and tests cited in coverage estimate a 1 kWp system paired with ~2.7 kWh storage typically saves about €220–€320 per year, and retailers’ promotions plus a pre‑order window for Anker’s upcoming Solarbank 4 could further reshape affordability and uptake.
