Anker SOLIX F3800 and Home Power Panel Installation

The F3800 rolls in on wheels. Getting it to run your home's circuits takes the Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel, wired into your main panel by a licensed electrician. That's what we do, permit and inspection included.

How Anker SOLIX home backup fits together

The Anker SOLIX F3800 family are large portable power stations that can also serve as home backup. On their own they power whatever you plug into them. Connected to Anker's Home Power Panel, they can run selected circuits in your home, so the furnace, fridge and lights come back without extension cords running through the house.

The Home Power Panel connects to your main electrical panel and may add a separate backup load center, depending on your setup. That's permitted electrical work in most Colorado jurisdictions, and it's the part we handle.

What we check before installing

  • Your main panel's brand, size, open breaker spaces and overall condition.
  • Which circuits you want on backup, and whether any of them are 240-volt loads like a well pump.
  • Where the F3800 will live and how you'll connect it, so it's easy to reach in an outage.
  • Whether you have rooftop solar already, since that changes how the system should be wired.
  • What your city or county building department requires for the permit.

Already have rooftop solar?

Combining a portable power station with an existing grid-tied solar system has to be designed carefully so the two don't fight each other and nothing feeds power onto the grid during an outage. We look at your inverter and the way your solar is connected before recommending a wiring approach. Any change to a grid-tied solar system generally needs approval from your utility, which is Xcel Energy for most of the Front Range.

If you don't have solar, we can add panels that charge the F3800 directly, sized to what it accepts.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

We install and integrate the Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel across Denver Metro, Colorado Springs, Northern Colorado and Summit County. We're licensed electricians and handle the permit and inspection.

Yes. It connects to your main electrical panel, so it should be installed by a licensed electrician, and in most Colorado jurisdictions it needs a permit and inspection.

In most cases, yes. Connecting a battery to your home's wiring through a transfer switch, home panel or subpanel is electrical work that generally needs a permit and inspection from your city or county building department. We pull the permit and meet the inspector.

Sometimes, but it has to be designed around your inverter and how your solar is connected. Changes to a grid-tied solar system generally need utility approval. We check your setup and recommend the right approach.

Possibly. It depends on the pump and how many F3800 units and which connection you use. We look at the pump and your other backup circuits before recommending a setup.

No. We install and integrate Anker SOLIX equipment as licensed electricians, but we aren't Anker SOLIX-certified or an authorized dealer. We're certified with Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, FranklinWH and EG4.
