Power outages are just a fact of life living in America. You've probably faced a few of them from severe weather: a hurricane knocking out the grid, a blizzard freezing power lines, or thunderstorms whipping up out of nowhere.
A standby generator can be a lifesaver, but it's not perfect. Fuel costs add up, maintenance is a chore, and the noise is very irritating.
With Anker SOLIX X1 Solar Battery Storage System, you now have a way to use that generator without so many hardships.
Your Backup Power Dream Team
We hear you. Generators are a popular choice in America. At the same time, you also want smarter, cleaner, and quieter energy solutions.
That's why we've supercharged X1 with a new software update to seamlessly integrate with most standby generators. No more having your generator work all day and night during outages and waking up the neighborhood.
When an outage happens, X1 steps in. It uses stored solar energy to power your home. When the battery runs low, your generator activates. So, it's quiet, efficient power that only uses a fuel generator when necessary.
How It Works in Plain English
Here’s the breakdown:
-
Solar Power First: Your X1 stores energy from solar panels during the day.
-
Outage Occurs: When the grid goes down, your system springs into action. Choose between two options:
-
Option 1: Generator Priority Mode (Default): Maintain your X1 power and use it later. Your generator will start first. X1 takes over once the fuel runs out, or you need quieter backup power.
-
Option 2: X1 Priority Mode: X1 goes to work, silently powering your home with stored solar energy. The generator activates only when the battery is lower than the starting limit SoC.
-
Generator Backup: If the outage lasts longer than your battery’s charge (or it's been a cloudy week), the X1 signals your generator to start.
-
Smart Switch: The system follows your rules, set via the Anker app. No more guesswork—just seamless transitions between solar, battery, and generator power.
-
App Control: Adjust modes anytime, anywhere. Optimize for fuel savings, silence, or extended backup time—all from your phone.
You don't need to feel generator guilt anymore. X1 does the heavy lifting after a storm, and your generator becomes more like a reliable sidekick.
Team Up for Game-Changing Power
-
Save Money: Use less fuel by relying on solar first.
-
Power Quietly: Generators run only when truly needed—no more 3 AM wake-up calls.
-
Go Green: Reduce emissions by maximizing solar energy.
-
Rest Easy: No more interruptions; continually power your fridge, Wi-Fi, and medical devices.
The next time a nor'easter hits, your lights stay on with X1. It powers your home, and your generator will quietly top it off overnight. Sleep through the storm while ensuring your wallet doesn't take a hit. That's the power of teamwork.
Why This Setup Matters in America
Our power grid isn't getting younger. Severe storms and wildfires are becoming more frequent, whether you live in Texas or California. Or maybe you live off-grid or are sensitive to noise. Whatever your situation, you can always stay powered:
-
Hurricane-Prone? X1 and your generator power essentials for days.
-
Off-Grid Living? Pair X1 with solar panels for near-total energy independence.
-
Just Hate Noise? No more generator rumbling—X1 works silently so you can relax.
And with rising fuel costs, this update makes your home more efficient, further reducing expenses.
