The Anker Solix 3 Pro can be combined with a range of selected devices. In this article, we show which PV modules, Extension batteries and Smart meter compatible – including tips for integrating Shelly for intelligent control.

1. Connect PV modules – suitable solar panels for the Solarbank 3 Pro

The Anker Solar Bank 3 Pro has four independent MPPT inputs and allows the connection of up to 8 PV modules. This makes it ideal as Storage solution for balcony power plants with high module flexibility.

• ✅ Recommended solar modules: 400–500 W monocrystalline (JA Solar, Trina Solar, Anker Original)
• ✅ Optimal alignment: East/West orientation possible through separate MPPTs
• ✅ PV compatibility: Observe voltage and current according to the armature data sheet

New: Anker SOLIX Power Dock

• Connection of up to 4 solar banks

• Max. 4800 W feed-in, storage expandable up to 64,4 kWh

• Supports up to 14,4 kW solar power, direct feed-in into the home grid

• Ideal for high self-consumption such as heat pumps or electric vehicles

• Scalable and future-proof (wallbox integration planned)

With the Power Dock Larger photovoltaic systems can be realized, while the Solar Bank 3 Pro central storage and distribution of solar energy.

Selecting the right PV modules supports the efficient use of the solar bank and facilitates later integration with smart meters such as Shelly 3EM or Shelly Pro 3EM Anchor Solix.

2. Expand memory – BP2700/BP1600 batteries for more capacity

With up to five BP2700/BP1600 extension batteries, the total capacity of the Solarbank 3 Pro can be increased to 16,1 kWh – ideal for households with higher power demands or irregular sunlight.

The combination of Extension batteries and smart meter integration, e.g. via Shelly Pro 3EM Anchor Solix, enables even more effective control of self-consumption.

• Single module capacity: 2,69 kWh
• ✔️ Assembly: Stackable, pluggable, tool-free
• ✔️ Compatible with: BP2700 series Solar bench 2

3. Smart Meter for Solarbank 3 Pro – which models work?

A compatible smart meter is required for functions such as zero feed-in, self-consumption optimization or automatic control of dynamic electricity tariffs.

✅ Currently supported are:

• Anker Smart Meter

• Shelly 3EM

• Shelly Pro 3EM

❌ Not compatible: All other smart meters do not currently work with the Anker app.

Connect Anker Solix 3 Pro to Shelly can do so directly via the Anker app. Only the models Shelly 3EM and Shelly Pro 3EM Anchor Solix are currently compatible. This integration allows the solar bank to monitor your power consumption in real time and automatically adjust it. This enables features such as zero feed-in, self-consumption optimization, and intelligent charging or discharging.

Steps to connect Anker Solix 3 Pro to Shelly:

1. Open the Anchor App and choose your Solarbank 3 Pro.

2. Tap "Add device" → “Third-party device”.

3. Choose Shelly Cloud as a provider.

4. Register with your Shelly account

5. Select the device – only Shelly 3EM or Shelly Pro 3EM are supported.

6. After successful linking, the Anker Solix 3 Pro connected to Shelly, and the intelligent control can begin.

With this integration you benefit from precise consumption measurement, automatic load distribution and an maximum self-consumption rate.

4. Intelligent sockets – Smart Home meets balcony power plant

In conjunction with smart plugs and the Anker app, you can automatically control appliances such as washing machines or boilers as soon as solar power is available or the electricity tariff is low.

✅ Suitable for: Anker Smart Plug, TP-Link with Matter protocol, Meross and others.
✅ Function: AI-driven load balancing & cost optimization

⚠️ 5. Grid connection & restrictions – what is possible, what is not?

✅ Compatibility overview (quick check)

Conclusion: Expand the Solarbank 3 Pro sensibly

The Anker Solix Solarbank 3 Pro can be combined with a range of selected devices – PV modules, extension batteries, smart meters and smart plugs. Connect Anker Solix 3 Pro to Shelly wants, uses Shelly 3EM or Shelly Pro 3EM Anchor Solixto optimally control self-consumption and automation.
