With energy prices climbing and climate extremes testing our power grid, more Australians are turning to solar and battery storage to take control. In the final and eighth episode of Energy Matters Season 1, we explore the future of home energy through the lens of a real Aussie family, and introduce one seriously powerful new battery system making waves across the country. Let’s explore the Anker SOLIX X1 and find out why it might be the battery solution for you.
Set in the picturesque hills of Terranora, Northern NSW, Episode 8 takes us into the home of Jarrod and Luana—a couple who set out to transform a dated double-brick house into a modern coastal farmhouse. The home boasted seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, a pool, and a self-powered septic system, making energy reliability critical.
They already had solar panels installed, but their quarterly bills were pushing $1,000. After a cyclone exposed the limitations of their original battery, they reached out to Resinc Solar, who recommended a game-changing upgrade: the Anker SOLIX X1.
Roshan chats with Leigh Storr from Resinc about why the X1 was the right fit, especially in a market where feed-in tariffs are dropping, energy prices are rising, and the technology has finally caught up. Federal battery rebates sweeten the deal, making now the perfect time to invest in storage.
Anker, a trusted name in global consumer tech, has officially entered the Australian clean energy scene with the SOLIX range. The X1 is their flagship home battery system—and it’s turning heads for all the right reasons.
The Anker SOLIX X1 is a hybrid three-phase battery system designed to handle the harshest Aussie conditions. Whether it’s 40°C coastal heat or an unexpected blackout, the X1 has you covered.
This isn’t just a backup plan. It’s a smart energy solution that works with your solar to power your home day and night, reduce your bills, and support off-grid living. With modular battery packs, the system grows with your needs, making it ideal for families planning to add an EV or simply future-proof their setup.
Add in ultra-fast blackout protection (switching in under 10ms), anti-corrosion design, and intelligent operating modes, and you’ve got one of the most advanced systems on the market.
