The Solarbank 4 Pro integrates the battery and a bidirectional inverter in a single body, and manages several panel strings independently: useful when the balcony or facade doesn't face the sun in just one direction. Besides the sun, it also charges from the grid.
It also has an output separate from the grid connection, designed to directly power appliances connected to it. It's also designed to grow: the same control unit accepts additional satellite batteries as energy needs increase, without needing to install a second one.
It suits anyone with panels facing in several directions on the same balcony, or who wants a system that can be expanded later. Anyone looking for just a simple first storage unit, with one panel and little else, will find more complexity here than they need.

Which documents this page rests on
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.
What it really costs

Pros and cons
In favour
- It manages several groups of panels independently, useful if the balcony doesn't all face the same direction.
- It also charges from the grid, not only from the sun.
- It grows over time by adding satellite batteries to the same control unit.
- It has an output independent of the grid to directly power connected appliances.
Worth knowing
- Right now it's not sold on its own in the official store: it's bought as a package with a panel, and the math has to be done on that. source
- The outputs to the grid and to direct loads are two separate connections to wire, not a single outlet. source
- The weight makes installation a one-time job, not something to move around as the seasons change. source
