How to read each kit

• Core loads — the devices this kit is designed to keep running. These are the non-negotiables.
• Typical daily Wh — estimated daily energy consumption for the core loads at normal use. This determines which station fits.
• Station class — the Anker SOLIX model range that covers this kit. Expandable battery packs allow step-up without replacing the station.
• Solar option — whether adding panels makes the kit self-sustaining or significantly extends autonomy.
• Each kit links to a pre-filled request form. Adjust the equipment list and hours to match your specific situation before sending.

🏠 Blackout essential kit

The baseline home backup. Keeps the fridge, internet, lights and phone charging running through a typical grid outage — covering the 95% of European blackouts that last under 8 hours.

• Station class: SOLIX F2000 covers ~18h. SOLIX F3800 covers ~34h (1.4 days) without solar.
• Solar option: one 200W panel adds ~900Wh on a good day in southern Europe, extending F2000 autonomy to 24h+ cycle.
• What this does not include: induction cooking, electric kettle, TV, laptop — add these in the request form if needed.
• Key sizing note: the fridge compressor may surge to 400–900W at startup. Both F2000 (2,400W continuous) and F3800 (3,800W continuous) handle this comfortably.

☀️ Solar independence kit

For homes, apartments and rural properties that want to reduce grid dependence, cut electricity bills and have genuine autonomy. Built around a station + solar array that covers daily essentials from the sun.

• Station class: SOLIX F3800 as primary. Expandable to 7,680Wh with two expansion batteries for 2-day autonomy without sun.
• Solar needed: 4,360Wh ÷ 5 peak sun hours × 1.25 losses = ~1,090W of panels. Two 600W panels or four 300W panels in southern Europe cover the full daily load.
• Bill reduction: at €0.22/kWh and 4,360Wh/day, this kit offsets ~€0.96/day = ~€350/year in electricity from covered loads.
• Grid as backup only: charge the station overnight at off-peak rates when solar has been insufficient. The station handles all daytime loads from stored solar energy.

🏥 Medical and critical equipment kit

For CPAP users, home oxygen, nebulisers and anyone whose health depends on uninterrupted power at night. Pure sine wave output, zero noise, zero exhaust — safe to run in any bedroom.

• Station class: SOLIX C1000 covers 2–3 nights for CPAP without humidifier. SOLIX F2000 covers 3–4 nights with humidifier + router.
• Pure sine wave: all SOLIX models output pure sine wave AC — required for CPAP and most medical devices. Verify your device's label: it must accept 230V 50Hz (European standard).
• Travel compatibility: SOLIX C300 and C1000 are airline-approved (check current airline policy for Wh limits). Confirm before travelling with medical equipment.
• Power failure alarm: configure your CPAP's alarm settings and keep the station beside the bed. The station switches to battery power instantaneously — no interruption to breathing therapy.

⚓ Boat and marine kit

For sailing boats, motorboats and liveaboards. Covers navigation electronics, lighting, communication, fridge and charging — without adding a generator or complex wiring to the vessel.

• Station class: SOLIX F2000 covers 1–1.5 days without solar. With a 200W flexible panel on deck, becomes self-sustaining in normal sailing conditions.
• Marine advantage: no generator installation, no fuel storage on board, no exhaust in the cabin. The station sits in the saloon and plugs into standard shore power for charging in marina.
• Shore power charging: F2000 charges fully in under 2 hours at 2,400W shore power input — faster than most marina stays require.
• Saltwater environment: keep the station in a dry, ventilated interior location. LFP batteries tolerate marine humidity better than lead-acid, but direct spray exposure must be avoided.
• What this kit does not cover: electric winches, bow thrusters, high-power navigation lights or electric outboards — these need dedicated marine electrical systems.

🔧 Construction and field work kit

For site offices, remote job sites and field operations where grid power is unavailable. Covers communications, laptop, lighting, battery tool charging and small power tools — without a noisy generator running all day.

• Station class: SOLIX F2000 covers one full working day. F3800 covers 1.5–2 days or adds headroom for occasional power tool use.
• What a station handles well: battery chargers, LED lighting, laptop, router, small angle grinders and jigsaws (up to 800W continuous), site cameras and CCTV recorders.
• What still needs a generator: 230V circular saws (1,200–2,000W continuous), large compressors (1,500W+), concrete mixers and sustained high-load tools. These need surge confirmation before any recommendation.
• Solar on site: a portable 400W folding panel charges the F2000 from ~20% to ~80% in 3–4 hours of good sun — keeping the site powered through a full day without grid hookup.
• Noise advantage: a SOLIX station running tool chargers and site lighting produces zero noise. Workers and neighbours benefit, and there are no fuel logistics or fume risks in enclosed spaces.

🔒 Security and surveillance continuity kit

When the grid fails, security systems, CCTV and alarm panels are often the first things to lose power. This kit keeps cameras, NVR, alarm panel, router and gate automation running through extended outages.

• Station class: SOLIX F2000 covers approximately 20–24h of full security system operation. F3800 extends to 36–48h — covering extended outages without intervention.
• Critical advantage: security systems are most needed during power outages, which are also higher-risk periods. A station that activates instantly when grid fails means zero gap in coverage.
• Existing UPS integration: many alarm panels already have a small UPS battery for short outages. The SOLIX acts as the upstream feed — when the panel's UPS drains, the SOLIX takes over all loads.
• Solar for permanent installation: a single 200W panel on a south-facing wall or roof keeps this low-draw system running indefinitely during daylight hours — making the security system fully grid-independent.

🐾 Pet and animal care kit

Aquariums, incubators, heated terrariums, veterinary equipment and livestock monitoring depend on continuous power. A blackout that lasts hours can be critical for fish, reptiles, newborns and incubating eggs.

• Station class: depends heavily on the specific setup. An aquarium with heater and pump uses 1,280–3,040Wh/day — F2000 covers 16–40h. An egg incubator alone uses 960–1,920Wh/day — C1000 covers 13–26h, F2000 covers 25–50h.
• Why this matters: tropical fish die within hours in cold water. Reptile eggs fail outside their temperature window. Newborn animals need heated environments. The cost of replacing livestock, fish or specialist reptiles typically exceeds the cost of the station many times over.
• Automatic transfer: plug the aquarium and heater into the SOLIX, which in turn is plugged into the wall. When grid power fails, the station takes over instantly with no interruption and no manual intervention required.
• Solar option: a 200W panel placed outside keeps the station topped up during daylight, providing continuous protection without any grid dependence.

🆘 Emergency preparedness kit

For households that want to be genuinely prepared for extended outages — storms, grid failures, infrastructure events. Covers 3–7 days of essential power with solar recharge and a clear priority list for load management.

• Station class: F3800 covers ~46h of core survival load (priorities 1–3) without solar. With a 400W solar array, the system becomes self-sustaining during daylight hours indefinitely.
• 7-day preparedness plan: F3800 + 400W solar + one fuel-free backup power source (second C1000 for communications if main station needs recharging). Pre-cool fridge and freezer 24h before an anticipated event.
• Load management protocol: define in advance which loads stay on (tier 1–2) and which are switched off after 12h (tier 4–5). Post a simple chart near the station so any household member can manage it.
• Recharge windows: if solar is unavailable, an F3800 can be charged from a car alternator (approximately 100–200W, adds 500–1,000Wh per hour of driving) or from shore power at a nearby functional location.

💼 Home office independence kit

For freelancers, remote workers and small business owners working from home. Keeps the full work setup — internet, laptop, monitor, NAS, printer, phone — running through any outage without losing a call, a file or a deadline.

• Station class: SOLIX F2000 covers a full 9-hour working day plus overnight router uptime with room to spare. F3800 adds a full second day of autonomy.
• Zero interruption: the SOLIX switches from grid to battery in under 20ms — faster than any device can detect. Video calls, VoIP, uploads and VPN connections are maintained without a single dropped packet.
• Solar for bill reduction: a 200W panel on a south-facing window or balcony covers 50–70% of daily office consumption in summer, reducing electricity costs for the busiest load hours (9h–17h).
• Billable hours protected: at €50/hour billing rate, a 2-hour outage costs €100 in lost work. A single prevented incident covers 1–3 months of the station's amortised cost.

🎪 Outdoor events and pop-up hospitality kit

For market stalls, pop-up bars, outdoor weddings, private events and festival vendors. Silent, cable-free power for payments, lighting, refrigeration and sound — without a generator disturbing guests or breaking venue rules.

• Station class: SOLIX F3800 covers one full 8h event day for all loads listed. Two F2000 units give redundancy — one for payments + internet, one for lighting + refrigeration.
• Generator-free events: venues increasingly prohibit generators for noise and safety reasons. A SOLIX setup is silent, fume-free and can be positioned anywhere — next to guests, inside a marquee, behind a bar.
• Solar between events: a portable 400W folding panel charges the F3800 from 20% to 80% in approximately 4h of good sun — ready for the next event the same day or the following morning.
• Multi-station deployment: for larger events, deploy multiple F2000 units at different zones (bar, entrance, stage support). Each zone is independent and failure of one does not affect others.
