A solar generator is a rechargeable power box designed to run devices whenever utility power is unavailable.
Welcome to the Anker SOLIX E10 FAQ! Find answers to common questions about installation, specifications, and usage.
Contact the customer to verify the brand and model of the distribution panel. Based on the model, purchase the appropriate interlock kit in advance, and ensure all accessories are ready before finalizing the installation date.
The fee covers professional labor, electrician coordination, quote review, and quality verification. Additional costs for materials (breakers, wiring, conduits subpanels, etc.), permits, and other site-specific work are quoted separately after your home assessment and require your approval before work begins. Installation services are provided by licensed, independent electricians partnered with Anker SOLIX.
Permit fees and permit application services are not included in the standard installation package. For AHJ permits, utility company requirements, and any other regulatory or city code-related needs, please coordinate directly with your electrician, who will provide guidance on the process and associated charges.
Most installations are typically completed in about half a day, depending on your home’s electrical configuration. Your electrician will provide a timeline estimate before the installation.
Each Power Dock supports up to three E10 units. When three E10 units are connected, two battery circuit breakers must be installed inside the ATS Box. For instructions on removing the jumper bar for live and neutral wires in the combiner box, please refer to the installation guide or quick start guide.
The system supports two installation options: wall mounting and floor mounting.
Wall-mounted installation:
Recommended for flood-prone areas. Ensure the wall’s load-bearing columns can support the weight of Anker SOLIX E10. If unsure, please consult a professional to determine the installation site before installing. Each Anker SOLIX E10 power module weighs 60.6 lb (27.5 kg), and each Anker SOLIX B6000 battery module weighs 130 lb (59 kg).
Use a 40A breaker for the grid port and a 50A breaker for the off-grid port.
The maximum distance is 5.9 ft (1.8 m), which corresponds to the length of the connection cable between E10 and Smart Inlet Box or Power Dock.
12 smart branch circuits.
Yes. Anker SOLIX E10 features a NEMA 4 (IP66) protection rating, making it suitable for extended outdoor use.
E10 supports up to two PV inputs, each handling a maximum of 4,500W (30 – 450V). Do not connect PV arrays with voltages exceeding 450V.
To ensure safe operation, we recommend the following panel specifications for series connections up to 4,500W maximum: • 400W Panels: Recommended Open-Circuit Voltage (VOC) <38V
• 460W Panels: Recommended Open-Circuit Voltage (VOC) <42V
E10 supports up to 5 battery modules, each with a maximum capacity of 6,144kWh.
Smart Generator 5500 supports unleaded gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and natural gas.
Anker SOLIX Smart Generator 5500 supports 120V AC output with one NEMA TT-30R socket and one NEMA 5-20R socket. It also supports DC output when used with Anker SOLIX E10.
Yes. Anker SOLIX Power Dock features a NEMA 3R protection rating, making it suitable for extended outdoor use.
No, neither supports feeding electricity back to the grid.
Yes. Anker SOLIX Smart Inlet Box features a NEMA 3R protection rating, making it suitable for extended outdoor use.
The power module and battery module come with a 5-year standard warranty. Smart Inlet Box and Power Dock come with a 10-year standard warranty, while Smart Generator comes with a 3-year standard warranty.
Whole-Home Backup Power: The home’s main circuit breaker is connected to Anker SOLIX Power Dock, with household loads routed through the Power Dock’s smart backup branches or a connected subpanel. This setup delivers backup power for the entire home and is ideal for users with high power requirements.
Partial Home Backup Power: Only selected critical loads are connected to the Anker SOLIX Power Dock’s smart backup branches. During a power outage, the system supplies backup power exclusively to these designated circuits.
Currently, Anker SOLIX Power Dock only supports connection to Anker SOLIX E10.
Anker SOLIX Power Dock is compatible with industry-standard single-pole and double-pole circuit breakers. For specific information about main and branch circuit breakers, please refer to the circuit breaker compatibility section in the installation guide.
Third-party PV inverters must comply with the IEEE 1547-2018 grid standard. Otherwise, off-grid frequency regulation cannot be performed.
Confirm whether Power Dock will be used as service entrance equipment or as a subpanel.
If used as service entrance equipment, prepare the main breaker according to the existing main breaker rating or system capacity. If used as a subpanel, a main breaker is not required.
The output power depends on the number of battery modules:
• 2 or more battery modules: Maximum power of 10kW, sustained for up to 90 minutes
To protect the battery and ensure long-term lifespan, E10 limits maximum charging power at low and high temperatures. Normal charging speed resumes when the battery temperature is between 59°F (15°C) and 131°F (55°C).
If the battery temperature is below 59°F (15°C), the system activates the heating film to warm up the battery. When the battery temperature rises above 68°F (20°C), the heating film stops operating.
Yes. Both E10 and Smart Inlet Box have outdoor protection ratings, allowing them to be installed outdoors together.
Yes. Smart Generator 5500 is compatible with certain Anker SOLIX models, with more compatibility coming soon. • It supports DC coupling with Anker SOLIX E10, allowing both devices to operate as part of the same power system, connected via a dedicated cable carrying power and communication signals.
• Not compatible with Anker SOLIX X1.
No. The generator must be operated outdoors on a flat, solid surface, away from doors, windows, and ventilation openings. Indoor use may lead to incomplete combustion and carbon monoxide exposure, which poses serious poisoning hazards.
Smart Generator 5500 includes a carbon monoxide detection function that automatically shuts down when levels become unsafe; however, this is not a substitute for proper indoor carbon monoxide detectors.
Yes. Smart Generator 5500 features a NEMA 3R protection rating, making it suitable for extended outdoor use.
Yes. Routine maintenance is required for components such as engine oil and air filter. The Anker app will notify you when maintenance is needed. Please refer to the user manual and video tutorial for detailed maintenance schedules and procedures.
