The Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2 E1600 Plus is a balcony control unit that accepts two independent panel strings: useful if the balcony faces two directions, or if one panel falls into shade before the other. It feeds into the home within the plug-in system threshold, and grows by attaching dedicated satellite batteries when the starting reserve isn't enough anymore.
It heats itself when the temperature drops below zero, so winter doesn't stop charging, and it withstands rain, not just the shelter of an awning. The base capacity is 1.6 kWh.
It's for anyone who wants to cut their bill with a small system and get started quickly, without construction work. It's not for anyone with high evening consumption who wants more reserve right away, without adding anything else.

The rest of the data comes from one page on the manufacturer's site, cited row by row in the table above.
A manual or a datasheet counts as a source even when the original file is hosted elsewhere: what matters is the document, not the server. Where that happens, it is stated above.
These numbers are calculated, not stated: they have no source to cite, they have a formula you can redo. The price used is the manufacturer's list price, which is stable and the same in every country — not a shop's price on the day.
