The sonnenBatterie eco – the start of your independence.
The sonnenBatterie is not just a battery, it's an intelligent storage system that automatically adjusts the energy usage in your household. In combination with solar panels the sonnenBatterie will enable you to supply yourself with clean energy – thus making you independent and protecting you from energy price hikes.
Long-lasting
The sonnenBatterie has a minimum lifespan of 10,000 charging-cycles. So you can rest assured that it will supply you with clean energy for many years to come.
Safe
In the sonnenBatterie we exclusively use lithium iron phosphate batteries – the safest lithium battery technology available today.
Economic
Because of its attractive purchase price and short payback periods, the sonnenBatterie is possibly your most economic access to clean energy.
How the sonnenBatterie gets you through the day.
Clean energy during the daytime, in the evening and at night.
Morning: minimal energy production, high energy needs
At sunrise the solar panels start to produce energy, though not enough to cover the morning energy needs. The sonnenBatterie will bridge the gap with the stored energy from the previous day.
Midday: highest energy production, low energy needs
In the daytime the energy generated from the solar panels is at its peak. But since nobody is home the energy consumption is very low so that most of the generated energy is stored in the sonnenBatterie.
Evening: low energy production, high energy needs
The highest daily energy consumption is in the evening when the solar panels produce little or no energy. The sonnenBatterie will cover the energy need with the energy produced in the daytime.
Intelligent, long-lasting and economical
The sonnenBatterie is a high-tech storage system that has proven itself in thousands of households – every day. The combination of a PV system and a sonnenBatterie will allow you to cover about 75% of your yearly energy requirement with self-produced and clean energy. Since your energy is being generated on your roof and not by some anonymous energy provider you are more independent than before. So take your energy future into your own hands and reduce your energy costs to a minimum. The decision for a sonnenBatterie is also a decision for the highest standards in safety and quality that "Made in Germany" stands for.
sonnenFlat
sonnenFlat is the ideal addition to your sonnenBatterie and solar system. sonnenFlat enables you to become independent from conventional retailers and take your energy future into your own hands.
What is sonnenFlat?
It is an energy tariff for sonnenBatterie owners. You receive a guaranteed amount of energy for a low monthly fee and in return some of the energy stored in your sonnenBatterie will be used to assist in the stabilisation of the electricity grid.
How does it work?
The offer is open to customers who install the sonnenBatterie and who have an existing or new solar system. Once you have purchased and installed your sonnenBatterie, you can sign up for one of three sonnenFlat packages on the sonnen website www.sonnen.com.au/en-au/sonnenflat
Your solar and sonnenBatterie system will cover a large portion of your energy consumption but not all. Therefore under a conventional retail bill you will still have energy charges and fixed supply charges to pay. sonnenFlat replaces both these charges with one low monthly fee, saving you money on electricity bills.
Each package requires a suitable capacity solar system installed on the roof of your home. The solar system, the sonnenBatterie and sonnenFlat will combine to provide your energy needs to the consumption allowance. If you exceed the allowance in a 12 month period you will be charged for the excess consumption at a low per kWh energy rate.
The Wilsons annual household consumption is 10,000 kWh. The Wilsons currently pay $0.31372/kWh (incl. GST) which leaves them with an electricity bill of $3,137.20 excluding daily charges.
The solar system of 7.5 kW and the sonnenBatterie eco 8.10 enable them to participate in the sonnenFlat 10, which leaves them with a much reduced energy bill as per the calculation above.
Clean energy for all – this is how it works.
