LOS ANGELES, July 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- sonnen announces
their expansion into the commercial and industrial energy storage
market with the launch of the sonnenBatterie pro using Ideal
Power's highly efficient power conversion systems. As a part
of sonnen's smart energy product suite, the sonnenBatterie pro is
an all-in-one smart energy management solution that maximizes
energy savings for small businesses. Using sonnen's proven
self-learning software, the pro reduces electricity costs by
shaving peak demand, utilizes time-of-use electricity rates, helps
solar-powered businesses use more of their self-generated solar and
enables participation in utility demand response programs.
Additionally, sonnen's sophisticated self-learning and extensible
software platform integrated into the pro enables businesses to
future-proof their facilities against rising energy costs and
energy uncertainty.
"sonnen's smart energy management solutions are engineered with
the best performing components, which is why we chose to integrate
Ideal Power's power conversion systems into the sonnenBatterie
pro," said Boris von Bormann, CEO of
sonnen, Inc. "Businesses are a key market for sonnen given the
increasing amount of commercial solar installations and the growing
cost of electricity. With the pro we are providing them with
a reliable tool for understanding and better managing their
facility's energy usage both today and in the future."
The fully integrated sonnenBatterie pro system includes the
Ideal Power inverter, durable battery modules with a 10,000 cycle
lifetime, and a smart energy management. The sonnenBatterie pro is
integrated with Ideal Power's 30kW Power Conversion System, which
is based on their patented and award-winning Power Packet Switching
Architecture™ ("PPSA"). Ideal Power's power conversion systems are
dramatically smaller, lighter, and easier to deploy compared to
conventional systems and are ETL certified for UL1741 conformance.
The modular sonnenBatterie pro scales from 18kW / 24 kWh up to 90kW
/ 240 kWh in a modular design and is available for shipping in late
Q4 2016.
"sonnenBatterie is an industry leader in deployed energy storage
systems and we are pleased to be powering the sonnenBatterie pro,"
said Ryan O'Keefe, Senior Vice
President of Business Development at Ideal Power. "sonnen's
selection of our award-winning system for their entry into the
North American commercial market is further validation of our
technology and we look forward to a fruitful partnership."
sonnen's existing products are currently installed in over
12,000 households globally and include the currently available
sonnenBatterie eco, a robust residential smart energy management
system that provides backup power, off-grid, solar self-consumption
and time-of-use for smart homes. The recently released
sonnenBatterie eco compact is sonnen's solar battery power
product that provides greater solar self-consumption and
time-of-use management and is available for pre-order today with
products shipping by the end of Q4 2016.
