About Sonnen

Sonnen is the leading manufacturer of lithium-storage systems in Germany, with its headquarters located in Wildpoldsried, a Bavarian community powered only by renewable energy. Sonnen was founded in 2007 with the goal of assisting global efforts to transition to carbon-free energy sources in the ensuing ten years.

Sonnen already uses state-of-the-art digital technology in Germany to connect thousands of people so they may share their excess electricity in a non-profit manner. Sonnen plans to do the same in Australia.

About sonnenBatterie

Constructed in Germany, the sonnenBatterie is an intelligent storage system that maximizes energy independence by automatically adjusting your household’s electricity demand and storing excess solar electricity.

A Sonnen solar battery can help you cut your previous grid usage by up to 75% when combined with a solar PV system, saving you a lot of money. SonnenBatterie works with both single- and triple-phase dwellings.

How Does the sonnenBatterie Work?

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries are used in the construction of Sonnen solar batteries. Lithium iron phosphate batteries are safe, dependable, and have a track record of performance. They are frequently used in electric automobiles, laptops, and cellphones.

Not only does lithium iron phosphate have a longer lifespan and a higher level of safety than the majority of other lithium-ion batteries, but it is unique in that it is the only battery component that occurs naturally and is free of harmful heavy metals.

Benefits of the sonnenBatterie

Extended life

Sonnen solar batteries are among the longest-lasting household battery banks on the market, with a design that ensures at least 10,000 charging cycles.

With a ten-year warranty, you can be confident that your SonnenBatterie will continue to provide you and your family with free, renewable energy for many years to come, shielding them from inevitably rising electricity costs.

Simple to keep an eye on

You can monitor your energy production and use from anywhere at any time with the sonnenApp. With the sonnenApp, you can simply take charge of your household’s energy consumption by monitoring, analyzing, and controlling supply and demand.

Variable sizing

Because every household has its own specific electricity needs, Sonnen solar batteries have been designed as a multi-stage storage system that can be modified to suit the most precise and varied energy needs. Sonnen batteries can store 2kWh of electricity per unit, and can be expanded in blocks of 2kWh up to 16kW, giving you superior flexibility than competing batteries.


This means you don’t have to waste money on extra capacity you won’t use, and if you decide you’d like to increase your storage in the future, you can easily do so. Like most of the high quality solar battery systems available today, RESUs require almost no maintenance.

Simple retrofit

Sonnen solar batteries are simple to retrofit with pre-existing solar PV systems because they are AC linked and include an integrated battery inverter. This implies that you can add a SonnenBatterie without changing your current system if you already have solar PV.

Cons of the sonnenBatterie:

Price

Sonnen solar batteries are not inexpensive and have lengthy energy payback periods, much like all other solar batteries that are currently on the market.
