What You Need

Pre-Installation

Installation Scenarios

1. Turn off the breakers.

Remove the wiring compartment cover of the Home Main Panel. Turn off the main circuit breaker and solar breaker.

2. If your Home Main Panel is indoors.

If the Home Main Panel is indoors, please refer to the distance requirements in the picture. The 12-Circuit Backup Load Center should be at least 5 in / 127 mm above Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel.

3. If your Home Main Panel is outdoors.

If the Home Main Panel is outdoors, we recommend the distance between the Home Main Panel and Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel is no more than 16 ft / 5 m. To facilitate the transfer of backup loads to 12-Circuit Backup Load Center, we suggest the 12-Circuit Backup Load Center be installed next to the Home Main Panel.

Note: The subpanel (12-circuit backup load center) included in Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel package can only be installed indoors.

Note: The following instructions will assume you have an indoorHome Main Panel.

Installation

Install Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel

1. Reserve at least 5 in / 127 mm of space next to the Home Main Panel and mark the position of Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel on the wall.

2. Use a screwdriver to open the wiring hole of the Home Power Panel.

3. Install the wall brackets on the wall using 4 screws with the positioning card provided. (The vertical distance between the two screw holes is 9.86 in / 250.5 mm, and the horizontal distance between the two screw holes is 7.09 in / 180 mm.) Tighten all the screws with 5N·m torque.

4. Install the backplate brackets on the back of Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel. Tighten all the screws with 1.6N·m torque.

5. Secure the backplate brackets on Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel with the wall brackets.

6. Lock the backplate brackets from the side. You need to install 4 screws with 1.6N·m torque.

Install the 12-Circuit Backup Load Center (Optional)

Open the 12-Circuit Backup Load Center, align the casing's screws with the holes, and secure them to the wall with 5N*m torque.

Electrical Connections

Wiring to Home Main Panel

1. Remove the cover.

① Remove your home's main panel cover.

Take out the 100A circuit breaker from the package and connect it to L1 and L2 on the Home Main Panel.

① Use a screwdriver to unscrew the grid wiring connectors with 5N·m torque.

② Connect 4 cables to the grid wiring connectors with 5N·m torque. From left to right, they are: L1 / L2 / N / GND.

③ Run the 4 cables through the left hole of Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel and thread them through the bottom hole of your home's main panel.

 Open the 200A current transformers and snap them to L1 and L2 respectively. Orient the current transformers with the arrow pointing towards the power source.

Note: If a solar power system is connected to your home's main panel, the 100A current transformer can be clamped on the wire connected to the solar panel.

 Insert the current transformers into the CT port of Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel. The cables of two 200A current transformers are connected to the connectors labeled L1 and L2, and the cable of the 100A current transformer is connected to the connector labeled Solar.

③ Complete the wiring between Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel and your home's main panel.

Wiring to 12-Circuit Backup Load Center (Optional)

1. Remove the green screw.

For circuit safety, remove the green screw to disconnect the neutral and ground bars.

Starting to Use Your Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel

System Brief Introduction

On the main page of the home system, you can view and manage the operating status and data performance of your household storage cycle system. Take note of the following features:

1. Real-time power values of devices within the system, displaying the energy flow through dynamic effects.

2. When configuring the electricity consumption plan for the home system, you can also view the current plan in use.

3. Power data that starts generating when you create the home system. This includes: photovoltaic revenue value, total carbon emissions and energy savings, and overall photovoltaic production.

4. Charts that show historical data trends in four areas: photovoltaic, household electricity, energy storage cycle, and grid electricity consumption, as well as statistics on the proportion of energy flow.

Home Power Panel Plan

Tap [Home Power Panel Plan] on the main page, or    >[Home Power Panel Plan]:

1. Set the percentage of electricity that is currently connected to Anker SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station to use in the electricity plan cycle. After setting, the reserved part of the electricity will not be used in the electricity plan cycle.

2.Self-Consumption Mode: In this mode, solar power will be maximized to achieve the maximum self-consumption of PV power (Note: This mode requires your home to be connected to PV panels in order to operate normally).

  • When PV power generation exceeds the household load demand, the excess power will be supplied to Anker SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station for charging.
  • When PV power generation does not meet the demand of household loads, Anker SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station will replenish the required power until its own power reaches the set cyclic power value.
  • When PV panels do not have surplus power to charge Anker SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station, the power station discharges to reach the set cyclic power value, and then no longer discharges. If it is lower than the set value, it will use utility power to recharge to the set value.
3. Peak and Valley Mode: Set the peaks and valleys of electricity prices for different time periods. The product then maximizes stored energy based on price, so you store power when prices are low and use power when prices are high:
  • There are four states: Peak, Secondary Peak, Valley, Secondary Valley. You can set these values for different time periods, including weekdays, weekends, and seasons. The product will charge and discharge according to your instructions during the specified time period.
4. Disaster Preparedness Mode: Implement emergency power storage and backup functions before a power outage occurs due to disaster.
  • Stop all current power consumption plans.
  • Set the amount of time in this mode and disaster preparedness reserve power.
  • Within 12 hours from the start of the set time period, use photovoltaic and mains power for fast charging without changing the threshold of peak shaving and valley filling.
  • Discharge power to your household within the set time period.

Firmware Update

To ensure that the system can function properly, you need to regularly check for firmware updates:

1. Check for small red dots and the "Available" icon in the "Firmware Update" section. You can find this in "Settings" on the home system's main page.

2. If there is a firmware version that can be upgraded, click on "Firmware Update" to enter the interface, which will display all devices in the system that need an upgrade.

3. Click on "Update" to start. During the update, ensure that:

  • The device is powered on normally and Anker SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station is not in a low battery state.
  • There is a normal connection between devices.
  • The device's Wi-Fi has a stable connection.

4. After completing the upgrade of Home Power Panel, the device will automatically restart to ensure it functions properly.

System Test

After making any adjustments to parts of the product, such as changing the connection method or configuration settings, you can perform a system test again via the app to ensure that the system is connected and working normally:

1. Go to Settings on the home page and click System Test.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the system test. Please note:

  • Before performing the system test, disconnect the circuit breaker on the PV side.
  • Before performing the system test, ensure that Anker SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station is connected and the power is in a normal state.
  • If there is any abnormality in the system during the test, troubleshoot based on the error message.
