A rural setup that begs for storage
I live on a wooded hillside in California’s Napa Valley wine region, above the morning fog that settles in the valley below. It’s rural and beautiful but also a CAL FIRE-designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.
Anker’s modular home backup battery system is unnoticeable, in a good way.
Less than 50 cents per Wh for a limited time.
Pre-order before June 2 to make sure home backup is in place for summer storms.
Anker's new SOLIX S2000 targets home backup with a compact design, ultra-low standby drain, and a $599 early launch price
Keep your home on-grid when the power fails and recharge with massive solar compatibility.
It's an excellent option for home backup, and it's cheaper than ever.
