IFA 2026: What EcoFlow, BLUETTI and Anker Solix Are Showing Next to Jackery

At IFA 2026, Jackery is bringing the Explorer 1000 Plus v2, the Explorer 2000 Plus v2 and the Explorer 3600 Plus to Berlin, roughly 1 to 3.5 kWh and expandable with extra battery packs, according to konstant.de. Add FridgeGuard, a UPS unit with 1,024 Wh and a switchover under 10 milliseconds, plus new solar modules. The reveal runs at the booth on 4 September at 15:00, per hartware.de.

All manufacturer figures. Nobody has measured any of it yet.

None of it is orderable either. If you need power now, you buy the current generation, say the Jackery E1000 v2 with 1,070 Wh. How big a power station actually needs to be is worth working out before you do.

At IFA 2026, EcoFlow is going all in at booth 166 on the STREAM series for balcony solar, per its own IFA page. Honestly, I find the "Local Mode" more interesting than the flagship. The system is meant to keep running and stay app-controllable when the internet drops, because control stays on your home network. For renters whose storage otherwise leans on a cloud service, that's probably the more useful half.

The flagship STREAM 5000, 5 kWh and up to 3,000 W, costs €1,599 at list price and €1,299 as an early-bird deal, according to ad-hoc-news.de. So it isn't strictly an IFA premiere. It was shown first at Intersolar in Munich. What's new for Berlin is Local Mode and the three-phase OCEAN 2 Three-Phase system, which ifa-berlin.com also lists as a debut. Whether the storage pays for itself at all depends heavily on your own usage profile.

Below that, EcoFlow's portable class is still the Delta 2 with 1,024 Wh, available today.

This is where it gets genuinely thin. BLUETTI is confirmed at booth 176 in Hall 2.2 by ifa-berlin.com. A product announcement made specifically for IFA 2026? As of this writing there isn't one, not on the manufacturer's site and not in the trade press.

The brand's most recent balcony-storage push didn't go through Berlin at all. BLUETTI launched the Balco series in Paris on 12 May 2026, reports pv magazine: Balco 260 with 2.56 kWh, expandable to 15 kWh, and Balco 500 with a roughly 5 kWh base.

At IFA 2025 BLUETTI showed several new products at once, including the sodium-ion Pioneer Na, per PR Newswire. Whether that repeats, I don't know. The Balco series may simply turn up on the stand. Nothing solid supports that yet.

What you can actually order today is the Elite 100 V2 with 1,024 Wh, from the current lineup, not from an IFA announcement that simply doesn't exist yet.

Anker Solix is showing the Power Dock at IFA 2026, booth 101. The numbers, per solarpowersupply.eu: 4x 3,600 W Schuko outlets, up to 4.8 kW AC output, 14.4 kW PV input, and up to 64.5 kWh of storage. The dock itself stores nothing. It networks several Solarbank 3 Pro units into one system, and grid connection still needs a qualified electrician.

64.5 kWh is not balcony-solar territory any more. Of these four brands, Anker is the only one aiming squarely at the whole house.

Anker's portable end stays the SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 with 1,024 Wh: the whole-house question is what the Power Dock answers, not this one.

Jackery at 114, Anker Solix at 101, EcoFlow at 166, BLUETTI at 176: all four brands show up at IFA 2026 in Hall 2.2, the IFA exhibitor profiles confirm. You can walk the entire comparison in about half an hour.

If you want the full exhibitor list for power stations and balcony solar, that's in our IFA Berlin 2026 overview. And if you'd rather know how these brands' existing models performed in independent lab testing, our comparison of those test results covers it. A product on a trade-show stage has not been measured yet.
