Anker Solix Solix Solarbank 2 E 1600 Pro
Question about Anker Solix Solix Solarbank 2 E 1600 Pro
I am also interested in something that has already been mentioned in various comments but has not yet been answered by the Galaxus team: does the device have a Swiss ESTI declaration of conformity, which I need in order to register with my energy supplier? If this is not the case, or if such a document is not available, I would find the description "in accordance with Swiss standards" misleading at the very least.
Helpful answer
I downloaded the declaration of conformity from the Anker website and sent it to my electricity provider, who accepted it and registered the system as plug and play, but please note that the feed-in is set to 600 watts via the app, which is also the specification for plug and play systems.
So if Galaxus sells such things in Switzerland, I assume that it is authorised
There is an SQS certificate on the grid "LVD GZES2402002805PV" which must be sufficient for the ESTI. As mentioned in the following comment, it is problematic that the certificate is issued for 800W output (EU). There is nothing for 600W (CH). I have exchanged emails with Anker's EU support and asked them to ensure this via app (and thus via installation location) that you can only set 600W in CH. I was then put off at some point, something was going on and I should check the official download page for the latest firmware!!!! (In my opinion, this is clearly an indication that we are not doing anything, but are making it look as if we have been helpful)!
When registering with the local electricity company, I then also argued with the setting on the app that this can be set to 600W in CH!
[I would recommend this to everyone for safety and insurance reasons. The 600W/800W calculations are worst-case scenarios, which can also occur in the worst case and can cause fires (if the cabling overheats)].
The support from Digitec was an absolute zero, friendly but not at all helpful: they were not responsible for such CH adaptations and I should contact the manufacturer! (The ESTI is certainly of a different opinion!)
