The world of sonnen

Evolutionary Home Builders and award-winning healthy home industry expert Brandon Weiss, team up with sonnen, one of the global leaders in residential energy storage, to build a first-of-its-kind energy positive sonnenCommunity.

Shell* has agreed to acquire 100% of sonnen, a leader in smart energy storage systems and innovative energy services for households. This follows an investment by Shell in May 2018 and means that post regulatory approval and completion sonnen will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell.

For the first time, sonnen is providing balancing power for the energy market by means of residential energy storage systems networked across the whole of Germany. The sonnen virtual battery, which is now online, is currently the largest of its kind that is able to compensate for fluctuations in the power grid. As a result, German households are now in a position to take over all the tasks of conventional power stations.

Testing of the lithium-ion phosphate battery technology used by sonnenBatterie ecoLinx reveals its higher safety level compared to cobalt-based batteries used by Tesla Powerwall and others.

The recent explosion at an Arizona energy storage facility renewed concerns about battery safety. The incident highlighted the need to educate regulators and lawmakers, a sonnen official said.

Battery storage company sonnen's ecoLinx will be the centerpiece of 'Wildwood of Marengo' passive home community. $700K homes represent sonnen's third sonnenCommunity in U.S.
