Anker is a favored brand for outdoor enthusiasts looking to make the most of their power, and at a media event today, Anker Innovations made several announcements that campers, van-lifers, and those who love having a little extra juice at home should take note of. In addition to the debut of new products, the company focused on three key areas: sustainability, community, and eco-innovation. To prove that they mean business, they have pledged to go 100% plastic-free with their packaging by 2027. They are also on track to offset a whopping 30,000 tons of CO2 emissions.

No matter where you live, Anker is on a mission to free you from the clutches of the power grid. The company launched Anker Solix, its entrance into the home energy market. This new brand will include a line of solar balcony solutions (aimed at apartment dwellers) and modular solar battery storage systems. Anker’s existing PowerHouse portable power stations will now be part of Anker Solix’s portfolio.

Of course, what you’re probably wondering most about is Anker’s recently launched offerings —here are a few of their new products.
