FAQs
What is the Anker Solix X1 and why should I choose it?
The Anker Solix X1 is a premium, all-in-one home energy storage solution that allows you to store excess solar energy generated during the day and use it later, especially during peak evening hours or in a blackout. It’s one of the most advanced Solar Batteries available, offering modular scalability from 5kWh to 180kWh, ultra-fast blackout recovery, and intelligent energy optimisation to maximise performance. When you install the Solix X1 with Variety Solar, you’re not just getting a battery, you’re investing in long-term energy independence, lower electricity bills, and a cleaner future.
Can I install the Anker Solix X1 with my existing solar system?
Yes. The Anker Solix X1 is designed for maximum compatibility and can be retrofitted to most existing solar setups. If you already have solar panels and an inverter, our team at Variety Solar will assess your system to ensure seamless integration. For customers looking for a complete upgrade, we can pair the Solix X1 with our premium solar panels Melbourne to create an all-in-one energy solution tailored to your household’s needs.
How much does the Anker Solix X1 cost in Australia?
The cost depends on your chosen capacity, installation complexity, and any additional equipment required. On average, homeowners can expect to invest between $6,500 and $8,500 for a standard system. Larger setups with more battery modules will naturally cost more but will provide greater energy storage and independence from the grid. Variety Solar provides free, no-obligation quotes so you know exactly what to expect before installation.
How long will the Anker Solix X1 last?
With a 10-year manufacturer warranty, the Anker Solix X1 is built for long-term reliability. It uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery chemistry, known for its superior thermal stability and long cycle life compared to other battery types. Many customers can expect their battery to perform well beyond its warranty period, especially with proper maintenance and optimal usage patterns.
How quickly does it switch to backup power during a blackout?
The Anker Solix X1 has a switchover speed of less than 10 milliseconds, meaning the transition from grid to battery power is virtually instant. Your lights, appliances, and essential devices will continue running without interruption. This makes it an ideal solution for homes in areas prone to blackouts, rural locations, or any household wanting reliable backup power.
Is the Anker Solix X1 suitable for coastal or extreme weather conditions?
Absolutely. The Solix X1 is engineered to thrive in Australia’s diverse climates, from the intense heat of summer to coastal salt air and winter frost. It features IP65/IP66 weatherproofing and C5-M corrosion protection, making it perfect for homes in coastal Melbourne suburbs, regional Victoria, or any area where durability is key.
How many battery modules will I need for my home?
This depends on your household’s energy consumption and your goals for energy independence. A smaller home might start with one or two modules (5–10kWh), while larger households or those aiming to run fully off solar may require several modules, scaling up to 180kWh. Our Variety Solar team will analyse your past electricity bills and usage patterns to recommend the right configuration for your needs.
How does the Anker Solix X1 compare to other Solar Batteries?
The Solix X1 offers unique advantages over many other Solar Batteries in the market, including its ultra-thin profile, intelligent module optimisation (eliminating energy loss when expanding capacity), and industry-leading switchover time. When compared with our high-performance Sigenergy Batteries, the Solix X1 is ideal for homeowners who value design, scalability, and fast, seamless backup power.
Will installing the Anker Solix X1 really reduce my electricity bills?
Yes. By storing your excess solar energy during the day and using it at night or during peak tariff times, you can dramatically cut your reliance on grid electricity. Many Variety Solar customers report reductions of 50–80% in their electricity bills, especially when the Solix X1 is paired with high-quality solar panels Melbourne for maximum daytime generation.
