The new "sonnenPro Compact 261" storage system is designed for businesses in industry, trade, logistics, and agriculture that aim to make their energy supply more cost-effective and predictable. This is particularly interesting for logistics service providers transitioning from diesel to electric trucks. Thanks to its compact design, the ready-to-connect 261-kilowatt storage system is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use and is quick to install. Logistics companies with higher storage needs can cascade the system. An optional backup extension ensures that the storage system immediately steps in during short-term power outages, reliably supplying critical loads with energy.

Many companies are struggling with exploding and unpredictable energy costs. This is exactly where we come in.

Andreas Plenk, Chief Revenue Officer at Sonnen

According to Sonnen, an additional advantage of their solution is particularly evident for logistics companies: many locations lack sufficiently dimensioned grid connections for the parallel operation of multiple e-truck charging points, and upgrading these connections is often costly and time-consuming. An intelligent storage system can mitigate peak loads and optimize the use of existing grid capacity, says the storage provider.

Forecast-Based Energy Management Saves Costs

The new energy management system "sonnenPro EMS" for industry and commerce offers numerous functions for efficient control, analysis, and optimization of energy consumption. It operates on a forecast basis and enables classic applications such as self-consumption optimization and peak load management, as well as atypical grid usage or optimized load control with time-variable electricity tariffs and grid fees. Electricity can thus be purchased during low-cost periods without requiring adjustments to production processes.
