Hey everyone! I'm planning to set up a solar kit on my balcony here in Sardinia (39° N). I'm looking for recommendations for a kit that includes a battery capacity of 1.5 to 2 kWh, and my budget is under €1500. I've been checking out Zendure and Anker; Zendure has a cheaper option with a 2 kWh battery, while the Anker system offers a 1.6 kWh battery with a smart meter for optimal power management. I'd love to hear your thoughts about which option might be better for me!

I’d recommend going with the Anker system! They have a solid reputation and their products tend to perform well. Zendure feels a bit newer on the market, and I’m not sure about their long-term reliability. Make sure to keep an eye out for sales too; Anker has been known to discount their kits significantly during promotions.
I’m with GreenThumbs on this one! The Anker kit is pretty great, especially since it monitors power usage closely with that smart meter feature. Just to clarify, are you set on having both solar panels and a battery? Because if you're looking solely for a solar generator, that’s just a fancy name for a battery and inverter setup! Let me know if you need more details on full kits.
