German home‑solar storage kits from Yuma‑Jackery and Anker unveiled

Yuma and Jackery have introduced a balcony‑mounted solar system that combines four 500 W bifacial modules for a total of 2 kW PV output with a 2.5 kWh lithium‑iron‑phosphate battery. The bundle, sold as the SolarVault 3 Pro, can deliver up to 2.5 kW AC, includes a bypass function, and shifts excess midday generation to evening use, raising self‑consumption rates. Prices start at €999 with a discounted offer of €1,499 for the full package.

Anker’s Solix Solarbank Max AC is a plug‑in battery that can be added to existing German PV installations without rewiring. The base unit stores 7 kWh and can be expanded to 42 kWh. It provides up to 3.5 kW continuous power (800 W via a standard socket) and a 3.68 kW emergency output that switches in less than ten milliseconds. The system is controlled via an app, supports dynamic tariffs, and costs €2,299. Both solutions aim to increase the proportion of solar electricity used on‑site from roughly 30‑40 % to over 80 % by storing daytime generation for later consumption.
