Data from official source

sonnenBatterie 10 is a residential storage unit with battery and inverter in the same body, with lithium iron phosphate cells. It comes in three sizes, from 5.5 to 22 kWh nominal; several complete units can also be connected together for systems with bigger needs. The built-in inverter works on a single phase, built for homes with a single-phase connection.

It pairs with sonnen's dynamic tariff contract and charges on its own when electricity costs less, even with no solar system of its own. As standard it doesn't come with backup power: to keep something running during a blackout, a separate accessory is needed, an external single-phase box sold separately.

The optimal temperature range runs from 5 to 30 degrees, and outside that range a reduction in power is possible.

Which documents this page rests on

The rest of the data comes from one page on the manufacturer's site, cited row by row in the table above.

A manual or a datasheet counts as a source even when the original file is hosted elsewhere: what matters is the document, not the server. Where that happens, it is stated above.

03 · Summary

Pros and cons

In favour

  • It pairs with sonnen's dynamic tariff and charges on its own when electricity costs less, even with no panels of its own.
  • Several complete units can be connected together for systems with bigger needs.
  • Anyone with, or planning, an electric car can add the brand's charging station, bought separately and controlled by the same system.
  • The warranty is ten years.

Worth knowing

  • As standard it has no backup power: for a blackout a separate external box is needed, single-phase.
  • The inverter works on only one phase: it isn't the right fit for a home with a three-phase connection.
  • Above 30 degrees and below 5, a reduction in power is possible.
