A battery brand cracked the top three on SolarQuotes in under a year. Their secret? Powering an animal shelter before chasing your wallet.
Home battery brands are everywhere right now. Government rebates have turned the market into a feeding frenzy, and most pitches sound identical: buy now, save money, done.
But Anker SOLIX X1 just landed in the top three on SolarQuotes – a ranking built entirely on verified homeowner reviews, not marketing spend. The difference? They backed their claims by installing systems where power isn’t optional – it’s life-or-death.
Where reliability gets tested
This rapid rise to the top hasn’t been driven by aggressive sales tactics, but by proving reliability in the toughest conditions—supporting the communities that need it most. In a unique partnership, Anker SOLIX and RESINC Solar & Batteries have focused on safeguarding critical community hubs, ensuring that those who care for others are never left in the dark.
Keeping the lights on in Lismore
Take the animal shelter in Lismore. As Australia’s first non-kill facility, it runs on donations and volunteer heart. But when the grid dropped out, the consequences were dire: food spoiled, and air conditioning quit—leaving animals and volunteers stranded in dangerous heat.
To solve this, the partnership installed a full X1 system at no cost. Now, the facility runs on nearly 99% solar energy. “When the grid drops out now, nobody even notices,” says the team. “The food stays frozen, the air con keeps running, and the animals stay comfortable.”
What this tells you
When a brand puts their systems in an animal shelter, they’re making a statement – not just about values, but about confidence. If your battery can keep medication cold during a grid failure or keep a shelter running for vulnerable animals, it’ll handle your home without breaking a sweat.
The X1 is rated to IP66, handles temps from -20°C to 55°C, and carries the highest anti-corrosion rating (C5-M). Grid failure? It switches to backup in 10 milliseconds. Ten-year warranty.
The “Double Guarantee” that changed the game
Global heritage you can verify
Anker SOLIX isn’t some pop-up solar company. They’re backed by Anker Innovations – the same group behind eufy – with over a decade building reliable gear since 2011. That’s staying power that matters when you’re buying something meant to outlast your car.
Local partners who give a damn
Anker SOLIX doesn’t let just anyone install their batteries. They work exclusively with Australia’s premium installers like RESINC.
“We partner strictly with premium installers,” says Symons, General Manager of Anker SOLIX APAC. “The quality of the install has to match the quality of the product.”
No overseas call centres. Technical support goes straight to people who know the system.
Why it matters
The SolarQuotes top three isn’t based on ad spend. It’s real homeowners, verified installs, actual experiences.
The projects in Lismore weren’t PR exercises. They were Anker SOLIX backing their product where failure carries real consequences.
“This is what a new energy icon looks like,” says Symons. “By combining global engineering scale with local technical expertise, we ensure Australians can Live Fully Powered with confidence. We are a brand defined by the long-term support we provide for everything we build.”
In a market drowning in hard sells, that’s refreshing.
