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.)

Zendure SolarFlow 800 Pro

DC-coupled, so the panels feed the battery directly and surplus is caught before the 800W bottleneck — the right architecture if you're running big arrays. Strong value per stored kWh, but UK buyers currently have to import via specialist retailers rather than a Zendure UK store, so factor in shipping and thinner local support.
