Detailed overview: Anker Solix Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro 2688Wh balcony solar battery
The Anker Solix Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro is a solar storage battery designed for balcony solar in a plug-and-play installation, with a clear goal: to make self-consumption genuinely worthwhile. Where a panel wired to a microinverter feeds energy to the grid in real time (and loses it if you do not consume it at that moment), the Solarbank stores that production to release it in the evening or at peak hours, when your household actually needs it.
Its 2688 Wh (2.7 kWh) capacity uses LiFePO4 chemistry, a mark of safety and longevity. It packs four MPPT controllers and accepts up to 3600 W of solar input once paired with at least one additional battery (1800 W for the unit alone), letting you connect several panels, even facing different directions, with no yield loss, a major asset on a balcony or facade. Its bidirectional 1200 W microinverter manages the flows both ways, between the panels, the battery and the grid.
Its intelligence makes the difference: Anker Intelligence, a built-in AI, analyses your consumption habits and solar production to automatically decide when to store, when to release and how much to feed in, to maximise your savings with no intervention. Paired with a smart meter, it enables a "zero waste" strategy. The capacity is expandable to 16 kWh with extra batteries, to grow from a simple balcony top-up to a larger store.
Smart, scalable and easy to install, the Anker Solix Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro is for anyone who wants to get the most from their balcony solar panels, storing their production to durably cut their electricity bill.

Comparison
At around £855 to £1283, the Anker Solix Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro compares with balcony solar storage batteries, targeted by searches such as "balcony solar battery" or "plug and play solar storage". Here is how it sits against three references: the Anker Solix Solarbank 2 E1600 Pro, the EcoFlow Stream and the Zendure SolarFlow 800.
| Criterion | Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro | Solarbank 2 E1600 Pro | EcoFlow Stream | Zendure SolarFlow 800 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 2688 Wh | 1600 Wh | 1920 Wh | 1920 Wh |
| Solar input | 3600W (4 MPPT) | 2400W (4 MPPT) | Variable | Variable |
| Inverter | Bidirectional 1200W | 800W | 800W | 800W |
| Expandable | Up to 16 kWh | Up to 9.6 kWh | Modular | Modular |
| Observed price | ≈ £897 | ≈ £769 | ≈ £683 | ≈ £598 |
In short, the Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro stands out for its large capacity (2688Wh), its 4 MPPT that accept more panels, its bidirectional 1200W inverter and above all its optimising AI, rare in this segment. The Solarbank 2 E1600 Pro remains a good cheaper entry point, while the EcoFlow Stream and the Zendure play the price card. For smart, powerful and scalable balcony storage, the Solarbank 3 Pro is one of the market references.

Our tester's review: Julien De Jurquet
The Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro reconciled us with balcony solar: without it, the energy produced during the day is fed to the grid and lost if no one consumes it; here, you store it to bring it back in the evening, when the home actually needs it. Installation is simple, genuinely plug-and-play, you connect the panels and the microinverter, and the app does the rest. The 4 MPPT let you connect several panels facing different directions with no loss, a real plus on a balcony or facade. What impressed us most is the Anker Intelligence AI: it learns our habits and decides on its own when to store, when to release and how much to feed in, without us having to think about it, which genuinely optimises the savings. The 2688 Wh capacity covers a good part of the evening consumption, and the expansion to 16 kWh lets you go bigger. Two honest caveats: the price remains an investment, to be paid back over several years, and the payback depends on your consumption profile and sunlight. But to make a balcony solar kit finally smart and worthwhile, it is a success.
