Anker Unveils $599 SOLIX S2000 With 6W Standby Drain and 2,010Wh Home Backup

4 articles · Updated · Forbes · May 19

Anker’s new SOLIX S2000 targets home backup with 2,010Wh capacity, under-6W idle draw and a compact body built to sit flush against a wall.
The low standby drain comes from Anker’s OptiSave system, addressing a common problem in rival units that can consume around 20W or more when AC output is left on.
A 1,500W inverter with 3,000W surge support trades peak output for efficiency and size, while Anker says the battery can keep a refrigerator running for up to 35 hours.
The unit adds UPS switchover, dual 100W USB-C ports, one USB-A port, five AC outlets and 400W solar input; AC charging reaches 80% in about 1.2 hours.
Orders are open now ahead of a June 2 launch, with preorder pricing at $579 and subscriber pricing at $599 versus a $1,199.99 MSRP.
