IFA Berlin 2026 Exhibitors: Power Stations and Balcony Solar

Anker has the densest presence of the four. Its official IFA exhibitor profile lists six booths plus a press conference on 3 September 2026 at 9:30, Hall 2.2, Booth 101, titled "Ultimate, Unified".

The centrepiece is the Solarbank Multisystem with Power Dock, an IFA Innovation Award winner. Anker quotes 4.8 kW AC output, up to 14.4 kW of PV input, up to 64.5 kWh of storage, and EV wallbox charging on top. Those are manufacturer figures. Nobody has measured them independently yet.

The more useful detail comes from heise online on 4 April 2026: the Power Dock needs an electrician once, for the initial hookup and the grid registration, and after that you extend it yourself, module by module. That gap between an 800 W plug-in balcony kit and a five-figure rooftop array has been sitting empty for years, at least as far as I can tell from the market.

Not willing to wait until September? Anker's current portable is the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 Tragbare Powerstation, 1024Wh LiFePO4, 2000W Solargenerator, 1,024 Wh of LiFePO4.

EcoFlow is showing its STREAM series in Hall 2.2, Booth H2.2-166, according to its own IFA exhibitor profile, alongside the RIVER power stations.

The STREAM series isn't an IFA debut, though. It was unveiled in June 2026 at Intersolar. ComputerBase placed it below Anker's new system on price on 22 June 2026: roughly €1,299 early bird against €1,599 list for the STREAM 5000 with 5,024 Wh. Market launch and local app control land in September 2026 per the same report, which puts them squarely in show week.

Available now and a lot smaller: the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro Portable Power Station, 768Wh LiFePO4 with 768 Wh.

Jackery holds Booth H2.2-114 per the IFA exhibitor directory. The profile names the second-generation Explorer power stations in 500, 1000, 2000 and 3000 sizes, the SolarVault 3 Pro home storage system, and XBC solar roof tiles.

A press conference? Not in the profile. An announced launch event? Also not.

Bluetti has a booth in Hall 2.2, number H2.2-176, in the Smart Home area, per its official exhibitor profile.

That's the whole of it. No product names, no press slot, nothing announced. Anyone telling you today what Bluetti will unveil in Berlin is guessing.

The honest answer cuts against instinct here.

Germany has roughly 1.33 million registered balcony solar systems as of 19 May 2026, per an analysis of the Marktstammdatenregister by GFK Solar. And prices in 2026 aren't falling, they're climbing. InFranken.de calculated on 7 August 2026 that scrapped Chinese export subsidies alone add 10 to 20 percent, with another 15 to 20 percent by autumn. By that calculation, waiting costs a buyer 250 to 390 euros, higher price plus the summer generation you gave up.

There's also the part show coverage tends to skip: Anker's Power Dock and EcoFlow's STREAM series were both public back in April and June 2026. IFA is the shop window here, not the starting gun.

Two cases, at least, where waiting still makes sense. If you don't have a workable mounting spot yet. And if you're moving house within the year.

What this show probably needs most is an independent measurement. Every headline number above is a manufacturer figure, and nobody in Germany has instrumented one of these balcony-plus-home hybrids yet, from what's public so far. The moment ADAC, heise or Stiftung Warentest publish one, it goes here.
