Introduction: The Anker SOLIX Solar Bank 3 Pro and bidirectional charging

The Anker SOLIX Solar Bank 3 Pro is a modern battery storage system with a capacity of 2,68 kWh, specifically designed for plug-and-play solar systems such as balcony power plants.

A particular highlight: It supports the so-called “BiDi Store“ – so charging in two directions:

• with self-generated PV electricity

• or with mains power (if activated)

However, many users are unsure what BiDi charging actually means – and when the solar bank will actually charge with solar power instead of grid power. In this context, questions frequently arise about Anker Solix 3 pro bidirectional charging as well as Download Anker Solix from the network .

How does BiDi charging work on the Solarbank 3 Pro?

The Anker SOLIX Solar Bank 3 Pro is an intelligent Balcony power plant storage with support for bidirectional charging - also known as BiDi StoreThis means: The solar bank can be used with excess PV power It can be charged with both mains and AC power. It automatically detects which power source is currently available and prioritizes self-generated solar powerto maximize self-consumption.

In case of PV surplus – i.e. when the PV production is higher than the current household consumption – the solar bank charges exclusively with solar powerThis is the ideal situation and leads to optimal use of solar energy.

If the PV output is not sufficient, for example on cloudy days or when power consumption is high, the solar bank charges additionally with mains power, provided grid charging is enabled in the Anker app. This keeps the system flexible and ensures that the battery is reliably charged even when PV generation fluctuates.

If no PV power is available and the grid charging is active, the battery fully charged with mains power – even if this is not desired for ecological or financial reasons.

📌 Important: If you only want to use PV surplus to charge your solar bank, you can easily use the grid charging in the app deactivateThis way, you avoid unwanted grid power usage and make your PV system significantly more efficient.

Typical misunderstandings about BiDi charging – and how the Solarbank Pro 3 solves them

Thanks to its intelligent control and the Anchor App you can at the Solar Bank Pro 3 Specify exactly how and when charging takes place – according to your needs.

Disable mains charging in the Anker app – here's how

Who visites only with PV power want to charge, you can switch off the mains charging as follows:

1. Open Anker app

2. Select SB3 Pro → Settings

3. “Mains charging” → on AUS questions

4. Save Changes

The Anker Solar Bank 3 Pro is now loading exclusively with surplus solar power – ideal for anyone who wants to reduce electricity costs and avoid grid dependency.

👉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.

Don't feed electricity back into the grid? No problem!

Do you also want to prevent your system from feeding electricity into the public grid? This is also the case with the Anker SOLIX Solar Bank 3 Pro easily possible – in combination with a compatible smart meter.

This is how grid feed-in control works: The Anchor App you can select the option “Power feed into the grid” to OFF This ensures that no surplus solar power is fed into the public grid – ideal for anyone who does not have a feed-in contract or who consciously wants to remain self-sufficient.

This function is particularly useful in rentWherein Balcony power plants without registration or in cases where no EEG remuneration This way, you retain full control over your own consumption and avoid unwanted feed-in.

Important: Deactivating the grid feed-in works only with a compatible smart meterWithout this, the system cannot accurately determine how much power is being fed in – so it is essential for this function.

Conclusion: Flexible charging with maximum control

The Anker SOLIX Solar Bank 3 Pro offers you not only smart PV surplus utilization, but also full control over when and how charging takes place.
Whether with or without grid, with or without feed-in – you decide how your electricity flows.

If you are one efficient, flexible and easily controllable storage system for your home, the Solar Bank Pro 3 exactly the right choice.
