sonnen in Australia
- Current range
- sonnen's current home battery for Australia and New Zealand is the sonnenBatterie Evo, launched in December 2021 as its first outdoor-rated home battery for the region. It's an AC-coupled lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with 10 kWh of usable capacity, 5 kW continuous and 7 kW surge output, and an IP56 rating. It can supply backup power in a blackout and has a Black Start function for AC-coupled solar.
- Older models
- The earlier sonnenBatterie hybrid 9.53 range (2.25 to 13.5 kWh) no longer has current Clean Energy Council approvals, so it can't be newly installed with small-scale technology certificates (STCs). The Evo is the sonnen battery on the approved list now. If you already own a hybrid 9.53, contact sonnen Australia about warranty and service.
- Warranty
- sonnen states a 10-year warranty, or 10,000 cycles if that comes first. It covers the inverter, power electronics, energy manager and battery modules.
- Service and support
- sonnen sells through accredited installers across Australia and backs the Evo with local service. Owners can contact sonnen Australia at service@sonnen.com.au.
