At a time of increasing energy uncertainty, Anker SOLIX celebrated a technological premiere at CES 2026 with the E10. The system is marketed as the world’s first smart hybrid solution for the emergency power supply of the entire home and promises nothing less than “infinite backup power”. By intelligently combining battery modules, solar energy and a smart fuel generator, the E10 creates an energy resilience that was previously only possible with extremely expensive and complex industrial systems. The modular system is aimed at both technology enthusiasts and homeowners looking for seamless and uncomplicated protection against power outages.
- Extreme power reserves: A single unit delivers up to 37.2 kW of starting current (surge power), allowing even energy-hungry 5-ton air conditioning systems to start without any problems.
- Hybrid flexibility: Seamless integration of PV systems, batteries and generators, with the generator charging the batteries highly efficiently via direct current (DC).
- Uninterruptible power supply: The power dock enables automatic switching within just 20 milliseconds, protecting sensitive electronics from crashes.
- Modular scalability: The system grows with the requirements and can be expanded from 6 kWh to up to 90 kWh capacity – enough for up to 15 days of self-sufficiency.
Maximum performance and intelligent home integration
The Anker SOLIX E10 breaks with the common practice of only protecting individual, critical circuits in the event of power outages. In combination with the new Power Dock, the system enables a genuine “whole-home backup” for 200A connections. This means that in the event of a power failure, all sockets and appliances in the house remain active without having to decide which consumers are prioritized.
The so-called turbo output power is particularly impressive: a single E10 unit can handle a continuous load of 10 kW for up to 90 minutes. This prevents homeowners from having to invest in oversized and expensive systems just to cover short-term peak loads. In an emergency, the system switches so quickly that clocks on microwaves or running computers do not even flicker.
For users looking for a more cost-efficient solution, Anker also offers the Smart Inlet Box. This serves as an alternative to the fully automatic power dock and enables manual switching in the event of a power failure. An interesting aspect for IT professionals and hobbyists is the openness of the system: the E10 is compatible with almost all solar modules, regardless of whether they are rigid rooftop panels, portable folding modules or third-party AC systems.
With a solar input of up to 9 kW per unit (maximum 27 kW in full configuration), the batteries can be recharged quickly even in poor light conditions. The robust design in the NEMA 4-certified metal housing also guarantees that the system works reliably at temperatures from -20 °C to +55 °C and can also be installed outdoors thanks to UV protection.
Infinite energy thanks to DC coupling and simple installation
A truly unique feature of the hybrid approach is the coupling with the smart fuel generator. While conventional backup systems often only integrate generators via alternating current (AC), the SOLIX Smart Generator charges the batteries directly via a DC connection. This elimination of multiple energy conversions massively increases efficiency and extends the backup duration by a factor of five compared to traditional AC generators. The modular design is based on 6 kWh battery blocks that can be easily stacked on top of each other using the plug-and-play method. This makes the system particularly DIY-friendly, as no complex rewiring of the individual battery modules is required. Anker offers extensive technical resources and a dedicated hotline to make the installation process as hassle-free as possible.
Scalability is another plus point for growing households or locations with an unstable power grid. Up to three E10 sets can be combined to achieve a total capacity of 90 kWh. Such a configuration can supply an average household completely self-sufficiently for over two weeks if there is no grid connection. Despite its enormous capacity, the system remains compact thanks to its stackability and can be mounted on the wall or on the floor – an important factor for installation sites in areas at risk of flooding. Intelligent control takes place via the well-known Anker app, in which users can monitor the energy flow in real time and prioritize whether they would rather save money (by charging at low tariff times) or prioritize maximum safety for emergencies.
Conclusion
With the SOLIX E10, Anker provides an impressive answer to the increasing demand for self-sufficient energy solutions. The combination of high starting power, modular expandability and highly efficient DC generator coupling sets new standards in the consumer market. The basic system, consisting of an inverter and a battery, starts at USD 4,299. The complete package including power dock and smart generator is priced at USD 7,399.
Pre-orders can be placed directly with Anker SOLIX from January 12, 2026, with official delivery starting on February 4, 2026. Those who decide early can benefit from massive discounts and free solar modules with a small deposit of USD 10.
