Anker SOLIX Solarbank 4 E5000 Pro
The most complete balcony battery Anker sells: enough PV input to run seriously oversized panels without clipping losses, off-peak grid charging, and modular expansion to 30kWh. Priced as a premium anchor rather than a starter — and one you won't outgrow. (GBP price representative until Anker publishes the UK RRP.)

The natural upgrade path if you started with a STREAM microinverter: stack it under the inverter and your clipped surplus goes into storage instead of nowhere. AC-coupled mode means it also earns its keep on a time-of-use tariff before you buy a single panel. The only genuinely UK-stocked battery of the three, though it sells out fast.
