MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Anker Innovations, the parent company of the eufy brand, has proudly announced its expansion into the home energy storage industry with the launch of Anker SOLIX full product range. Leveraging the success of its innovative smart charging and smart home technology solutions, Anker is now committed to bringing the same level of innovation to the field of energy storage.

With energy independence becoming increasingly crucial across the globe, and particularly in regions like Australia where the environment and weather conditions readily support renewable energy sources, Anker SOLIX has a compelling reason to enter the Australian marketplace.

Anker’s Worldwide Expansion

Anker, eufy’s parent company, has been a pioneer in the charging technology market since its founding in 2011. Known for excellent quality and best-in-class technology, Anker has rapidly expanded its market presence, selling products in 146 countries and regions, and boasting more than 120 million users.

By 2014, many of its products became top sellers in the mobile power category on Amazon in North America, Europe, Japan, and other key markets. Anker’s gallium nitride (GaN) charger, launched in 2018, was the first to apply gallium nitride from the aerospace field to consumer charging, allowing 30-watt chargers to be compact enough to fit in consumers’ pockets. This innovation not only improved charging efficiency, but also significantly reduced product size, earning global acclaim with customers.

The brand’s commitment to eco-friendly practices is evident in its use of sustainable materials and implementation of energy-efficient solar charging technologies.
