Promotion: energy storage brand Anker Solix has introduced its X1 power unit that the company says reflects demand for home battery storage that "looks elegant in modern houses".

The Anker Solix X1 is 15cm thick allowing it to fit discreetly into small spaces and offer a solution to a broad cross section of homeowners who are looking to cut their household emissions, the brand said.

"Our research indicates that consumers not only demand power supply from energy storage systems, but also look for elegant exterior designs that reflect their taste and life quality," the company said.

Each slimline, wire-free unit houses a power module, battery module, solar inverter, and energy management system. This allows users to create a home micro-grid, storing solar energy during the day to use during the night or off-grid.

The module's surface is finished with a high-grade grey basalt coating that provides a subtle texture and is more durable, according to the brand. It is also corrosion resistant and can adapt to changing climates and different environments.

The intelligent design automatically activates when a human approaches and a display panel features an array of useful information such as available charge, how much solar energy has been harnessed and real time consumption.

"Smart features are increasingly a critical part of battery storage," the company said. "People want the control to monitor and forecast their electricity usage at their fingertips wherever they are. These features were a big priority when we developed Anker Solix X1," it added.

Users can also see the network and grid connection status of the device at a glance without logging into other interfaces.

The display features six different modes and three colours to convey the working status of the power supply.

A built-in energy optimiser can accurately manage the power of each battery module, charge and discharge a single battery pack independently.

Intended to cope with extreme environments and weather, Anker Solix X1 has IP66 and C5 protection ratings (the highest attainable metrics for water and corrosion resistance) and a 10-year warranty. The brand claimed it provides stable operation in -20° winter, 100 per cent charging and discharging without derating.

"With the rapid development of the household storage market in recent years, consumers are now faced with a wide range of household storage products," the brand said.

Demand for household battery storage has been growing in Europe amid concerns around the climate crisis and rising energy prices. Anker Solix said more households are looking for tools to harness the fluctuating nature of renewable energy as well as charge electric vehicles.

"Although major brands have their own advantages in terms of functions, they seem to lack inspiration in visual design and are difficult to blend harmoniously with different home environments."

"The emergence of Anker Solix X1 seems to have injected new vitality into the market," it continued. "It is not only an energy solution with superior performance but also has an extremely elegant design concept that cleverly integrates into the home environment and becomes a part of home decoration."
