Generally, Anker can be trusted. BUT, I would not be an early adopter of their Solix F2000 batteries with expansion and the device had practically bricked itself when it totally ran out of power because of a firmware bug. Every time I would try to recharge it, it would shut down charging after just a couple of minutes. In order to fix the problem, I had to keep repeating this recharging scenario every few minutes until there was enough power to update the firmware. It's been great ever since, but I wouldn't buy an expensive product like this from Anker for the first 6 months. Unlike other whole-home battery systems, I might question what Anker's capabilities of servicing the battery in your home might be.
Was gonna do solar and then was quoted $40,000 that includes interest paid on the loan. Instead I took $50,000 I had in cash and put in a high yield savings account that pays 4.5% and I now make $190 a month in interest that I use to pay my $190 a month electric bill. 😂 🎉
How small is your home that you can get away with $190 electric bill lmfaooo?? Genuine question. Feel like if it’s just you and you don’t use your power often what you did makes the best sense. Would you agree??

@@GetwitGhostnot OP but 1800sq ft home here, fully electric don't even have a gas line going into my home, and i pay $200/month the months my kids are home from college. Dallas, TX. $150s when they're not here.
This option has become a vital consideration for my home. I truly appreciate the effort that went into creating this video. The aftermath of Hurricane Helene has led me to this point, and while it’s been a challenging journey, I feel incredibly grateful to be alive. Sadly, many families are facing overwhelming struggles due to the tragic loss of loved ones and the destruction of their homes. My heartfelt prayers are with everyone affected during this difficult time.
Based on some info on the internet, cost about 11-12k for each unit including installation. Each unit can max out at 13.3 KWH. I am thinking about getting 2 units for my house, I live in South Texas where power is unreliable and goes down anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. During a big storm like Harvey, the power grid went down for 28 hours. Price is a bit still expensive, I might also wait since I already have a gas generator.
Wow, ANKER is doing BIG things, I mean my very first cellphone charger was an ANKER Astro E3 10,000 mAh that I bought in 2015 and it was 7 batteries for my family. From a charging cellphones to powering ones entire home, I mean, Thats Badass the growth and success of this company.
Dan always comes up with very good video ideas that comes out off his mind… In conclusion, Dan is the type off person to challenge himself every single video… We love you Dan…!👍
Keep in mind that all of Ankers systems work in the cloud. So without internet they are stuck in the last system settings and CAN NOT be changed. This is also a weak point if SHTF, it might brick the systems. Otherwise, you are good. I have a Anker back up system and found out the hardway that things dont work without the internet... :(
I'm in the middle of getting a whole house generator installed and I want to pair that with solar + batteries. I just want to make sure that whatever I'm installing, it works with the generator to turn it on and charge the batteries, then turn it back off.
Great video! That setup is impressive. Hey Dan; if EcoFlow reaches out to you for a similar video for the EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra, I have a house that can be the install house 😂 I used to be your neighbor on Auburn drive. Is that as good as a former mission companion ? 😃
I've watched a lot of videos on solar power powering homes, and most of them are positive. They discuss how solar energy can save a lot of money and is useful in situations where the grid is down. All in all, the videos are positive, but not everyone takes advantage of them. I am aware that installing solar requires a lot of thought and consideration. However, we only pay once and have lifetime access to it??. Why don't individuals put money aside to buy solar power in order to save money? I've been considering that for a while.
Yoo, Im also from the Philippines and exact location where you guys where in, (Iba, Zambales) it's the main capital of Zambales I was shocked you guys were there! May god bless you!
If i ever switch to Solar Energy, i would definitely make a separate storage away from the house for the system and battery. So just incase accidents happens, you don't burn the entire house.
In my state Connecticut. We have what is called NET METERING. That means the electric meter measures the excess power from my system and feeds the grid, essentially spinning my meter backwards...APRIL 1st is the date the clock resets every year. So I build up a bank of KWHs throughout the spring, summer and fall using the excess KWHs at night, cloudy days and winter months where the sun is less effective... So batteries are unnecessary in my mind right now. I have a huge whole home generator for prolonged outages which only happen once every 10 years or so..
It's so fun to see how the other half live... It's fun to dream about having generational wealth to the extent where you can actually afford to build and liver in literal mansions. god bless!
The excitement.... Meanwhile I live virtually off grid with 17.5kwh lithium batteries and 12kw of solar panel generation. Developing countries are actually ahead on this stuff
Do you have to buy anything extra to have the battery and the grid working together at the same time? There may be at technical term for it, I'm a noob with this. I want to stay on grid but supplement it to 0% use if possible using a battery and solar system if possible. Looks like what you guys did. My highest month of grid use was ~1800kwh. I live in FL, I wonder if 1 of these battery pack systems would do with a good solar array and with good sun directly on panels for 60% of the day.
Only in America could you think 0.7kWh base load is low. 700W! To me in the UK that's very high and more than 10x the base load of our 4 bedroom, 3 storey house.
Here in Denmark my base load is 500W. My guess is that UK heating is primarily gas, taking away the need for as much electricity. In US, I can imagine the cooling systems are pretty energy intensive.
Yes we used 6000kWh of gas a year for heating and hot water. 12000kWh is the average here. Thankfully the law changed recently and new homes are getting heat pumps. I hope to have a 500W base load when we can afford to install an air source heat pump.
High? That's not even high. But I guess it makes sense when you're not doing any heating/cooling. Here in Nigeria you almost always have a fan running, a lot of times AC too, which alone is more than 700W
Why can't you & Zack be my bbf? Will you please be my new bbf? You & Zack get all the cool toys to play with. I want to have cool toys to play with too.
Anker has decent products... Compared to rest of these companies... I'm satisfied i hope they can do better in the future.... & Comes cheaper in middle income countries...
Do yourself a favor, get an EG4 12kpv, and two 14.3 kwh batteries for all around 10k. Then get 12 430w panels for around $1600!!! Do it all yourself and save $35k
If anyone whines about you using your own energy you stored inside your own batteries no matter how much it is.. it's your decision and it's free energy that wasn't being used so if you don't use it the energy potential is being wasted.
The Anker brand can be trusted.
I have used their products on a smaller scale for over a decade with zero issues.
I have a powersupply from anker with 4 usb ports on it under my desk and it has been running for 4 years on full load with out unplugging it from the wall and i had zero problems so far. Really good Product that they have.

Max 13.3 but like Tesla powerwall they top out at 10. Never max out a power bank.

So, the ultimate question is . . . . . How much does it cost????
That's the main and the most important question.
maybe 50$ per KWh ???
@@buh5995 There is no KWh price guessing when installing solar power. Inverter and panels are in KW and batteries are in KWh.
@@PakistanidramasN3D that's why i asked about KWh as the product mainly a battery.
30k$ at least

If someone gets a quote please post the amount the unit and installation cost. Tesla was my go to but sounds like a great alternative
Could you comment on why someone would choose this over eg Tesla power wall 3? I wish anker would just share the price on their site...
It's modular, and you can take this off-grid, which apparently is possible with the Tesla system, but trickier. To name a few things ...
And you have to use tesla approved installer to also have a warranty.
I already in love with Anker power banks.
All of the Anker products I have purchased have been high quality

What is the ROI on those battery storage?
10% yearly
Excellent video... currently have a solar panel at home 🏡 and thinking about getting a battery 🔋 energy for my house to save electricity
In Brazil, solar energy is charged at 80% of taxes, which is regrettable
Charge for free energy and in addition to the cost of equipment
man what a friend getting free battery system for his house. probably over $10k for that system
With installation...more like $25k-$30K. All the quotes for those 2 units I have seen are around $22K. Similar to getting Tesla Powerwalls.
Dam this is a dream plan for us here on island.
glad the powerwall is getting some competition
Love Anker, how big is the battery? Does anker had solar as well?
Hey Anker, when will we see distribution in the Philippines?
Won't be able to afford it anyway
Very cool, always been a very big fan of anker!
Solar is like an electricity Time share. Pay up front for years of electricity in the form of a physical plant.

looks really great, but when will by available in EUROPE??? :(
I used to fly in and out of iba airport around 2008 what a beautiful place.
Increíble in the next few years we will see a section for these batteries at lowes and home depot

When you got off-grid, why was solar not still charging the battery ?
would you chose anker over Tesla? If yes, why?
Omg, I'm from Zambales and I study in Iba. The heat index here hit 53°C, so I'm currently researching solar options to power my AC unit.

What's the price? How can i install this in India?
I know
Hi
See you in the philippines brother.
Ok you guys built a dream house and sold it.. whyyy
That’s the story of my life, living in a hut during my younger years 😂
20milliseconds is enough to cause your computer to shutdown so make sure to have a UPS backup on those items
When will it come to Asia I wanna install them
The best? I bit of a stretch don't you think?
What's the Price of it?
im in india and use ups inverters they have a huge battery but charge on the grid when grid is back
Thats so smooth
