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. Anker's GB filing for this system was assessed non-compliant for the plug-in route, so it needs a hardwired installation by a qualified electrician. (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. Like all plug-in batteries, it can't currently be self-installed in Great Britain.
