Data from official source

The Solarbank 2 E1600 Pro integrates the battery and inverter in a single unit and accepts several separate panel strings, useful if the balcony doesn't all face the same direction. It's designed for anyone starting out with one panel or a pair of panels, not for an already extensive system.

It heats the battery when the temperature drops below zero, designed for anyone installing it outdoors even in winter. It's protected for use in the rain, not just sheltered under a roof, and it expands with dedicated satellite batteries when the starting capacity isn't enough anymore.

It suits a balcony with little room for panels, or anyone who prefers to start with a small system before committing to a larger solution. Anyone who already has more panels available than this model can handle will hit its limits quickly.

Which documents this page rests on

The rest of the data comes from 2 pages 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.

03 · Summary

Pros and cons

In favour

  • It heats the battery on its own when it's cold, so charging doesn't stop in winter.
  • It accepts several independent panel strings, useful if the balcony doesn't all face the same direction.
  • It's protected for outdoor use in the rain, not just sheltered under a roof.
  • It expands with dedicated satellite batteries when the starting capacity isn't enough anymore.

Worth knowing

  • Anyone with high evening consumption runs through the starting capacity quickly and needs to think about expansion soon.
  • The expansion batteries are specific to this generation: they don't interchange with those of newer models. source
  • Even with more panels connected, how much it can feed into the grid still stays limited by the regulations of your country.
