Anker Solix E10 Review: TechRadar's 4-Month Test Finds a Reliable Whole-Home Backup System

TechRadar's four-month test of the Anker Solix E10 found it a reliable, expandable whole-home backup system with solar and tri-fuel generator support, offering strong peace of mind despite a high price.

The reviewer said the E10 can power an entire home, scale down to a smaller residence or large garage, and includes a transfer switch. It can connect to solar panels, and depending on the local utility company, may allow homeowners to feed excess power back to the grid.

Pricing starts at just over $4,000 for a single inverter and one battery. If the Basecamp Power Dock Smart Generator is included, the cost can easily reach $10,000. The system is sold through Anker and Amazon, but installation requires a licensed electrician. The reviewer noted that her own installation involved consultation with city code and the utility company because the system is tied to the power grid.

The entire setup arrived on a pallet, and the reviewer praised the design for looking sleek and professional, like an intentional addition to her home rather than a simple mounted unit. After the electrician finished, the app-based setup was straightforward: pairing the device, answering a few questions, and then being ready to use. Through the app, the reviewer could control individual breakers, monitor power output, manage the smart generator, and check battery levels. The app also allows location-based settings to automatically top off batteries when a storm is approaching.

The reviewer highlighted several strengths: expandable battery stack, optional solar input, tri-fuel smart generator (running on natural gas, propane, or gasoline), app control, sleek design, and an integrated transfer switch. The main drawbacks were the high price and the requirement for Wi-Fi during initial setup.

Over 141 days of testing, the reviewer said she never worried about power outages or storms, and even welcomed them to test the system. She described the Anker Solix E10 as one of the best all-around backup solutions on the market.
