Anker SOLIX is bringing solar energy storage and backup power systems to the Philippines, giving households options to use more solar electricity at home and reduce their dependence on the power grid.
Anker SOLIX, the dedicated clean energy and portable power solutions brand of Anker Innovations, launched through a partnership between NAVCO, a distributor and retailer of global consumer electronics brands in the Philippines, and GoPrime, the solar energy solutions company behind GoSolar.
“The Philippines is uniquely positioned for this transition to decentralized energy because the need is not only environmental, it is economic and practical,” said Symons Xie, general manager of Anker SOLIX. “High electricity costs, grid challenges, and the country’s exposure to typhoons make energy independence increasingly relevant to everyday Filipino households.”
The lineup covers three household needs: whole-home solar storage, a smaller solar setup, and portable power. Solar paired with storage allows households to keep electricity generated by their panels for later use.
The SOLIX XE Hybrid is designed to provide backup power across the home while helping households use more of the solar electricity they generate. Paired with eight to 10 solar panels, it can produce an estimated 7,440 to 9,300 kilowatt-hours annually, according to the company.
Anker SOLIX estimates annual electricity savings of about ₱64,700 to ₱80,900 for this setup. Its generation estimates use a Manila-area solar benchmark, while the savings calculation assumes an electricity rate of ₱14.50 per kilowatt-hour.
For households starting with a smaller system, the SolarBank 4 can generate an estimated 3,720 kilowatt-hours annually with four panels. About 2,230 kilowatt-hours could be used by the household. A six-panel setup can generate an estimated 5,580 kilowatt-hours annually.
The company estimates annual electricity savings of ₱32,300 to ₱48,600, depending on the setup and using the same assumed electricity rate.
The S2000 offers portable, plug-and-play power for remote workers, travelers, outdoor users, and people living in smaller homes.
Anker SOLIX is aiming for an approximately three-year payback period for a typical residential solar storage installation. However, the announcement did not provide system prices or detailed assumptions supporting that estimate.
NAVCO will handle importation, distribution, brand marketing, and retail development. GoSolar will lead technical solutions, installation, and after-sales technical support for applicable home energy systems.
The brand plans to expand retail and online availability beyond Metro Manila into the Visayas and Mindanao. It is also exploring local installment financing partnerships and expanding its installer network nationwide.
