More info
Simply more independence
The Sunny Boy Storage is a battery inverter designed for high-voltage batteries from all major manufacturers. Thanks to a charging and discharging power of 2.5 kW, it is perfectly adjusted to the energy needs of your home.
More sun for your home
Simple and cost-effective storage of solar energy
Sunny Boy Storage is the right solution for anyone who wants to gain independence from traditional electricity suppliers and rising energy costs through temporary solar energy storage in a simple and economical way. This allows you to maintain the greatest flexibility, now and in the future.
Well-thought-out system
For economical and flexible installation design
Thanks to Sunny Boy Storage, customers benefit from both significantly reduced system and installation costs and flexible usability. Thanks to AC coupling, the battery inverter can be extended or installed anytime and anywhere, regardless of whether a photovoltaic system is already present or not. The Sunny Boy Storage is a true multi-talent: the high-voltage technology used makes it an inverter that is both economical and lightweight. In addition, it includes few components, with key functions for intelligent storage use integrated. Sunny Boy Storage is therefore the ideal choice for more solar energy in the power supply.
•Flexible
For new and existing installations: reduced installation costs, subsequent installation and expansion possible at any time depending on individual requirements
Suitable for virtually all types of photovoltaic inverters: string inverters, microinverters or power optimizers
Can be combined with many types of energy: photovoltaic energy, wind energy, cogeneration energy
Freedom of choice in lithium-ion batteries, such as Tesla's Powerwall (more batteries to choose from soon)
•Effective
Cheapest AC paired battery inverter on the market
97% efficiency allows optimal use of temporarily stored energy
Maximum photovoltaic efficiency in accordance with all applicable injection limitation provisions (EEG, KfW 275, Zero Export)
•Simple
Quick and easy installation by a single operator thanks to the reduced weight of only 9 kg
Can do it all
The solution adapted to the needs of today and tomorrow
The systems equipped with Sunny Boy Storage can be adapted with the greatest flexibility to individual needs. Whether you change your family situation, acquire an electric vehicle that needs to be charged every day or decide to install a swimming pool in your garden for the pleasure of swimming, Sunny Boy Storage allows you to design or expand your storage system and photovoltaic system according to your requirements. In terms of energy production, the battery inverter also offers multiple possibilities, from photovoltaic systems to cogeneration plants and wind energy installations. Guaranteed power supply security at all times.
Whatever the starting situations
New installation: photovoltaic system with storage system
Do you want to stop being dependent on traditional electricity suppliers and ever-increasing energy costs? Thanks to Sunny Boy Storage, this is perfectly feasible and at a lower cost. With very few components, a storage system is easy to install. Thus, you can store solar energy quickly and easily.
Modernize: photovoltaic system with storage system
Do you continue to inject valuable energy into the grid via your photovoltaic system even after the injection fee? If this is the case, use this self-produced energy yourself through a storage solution. Your levy on the public electricity network is thus reduced and you gain independence vis-à-vis your electricity supplier. To do this, you only need three additional components: thanks to the Sunny Boy Storage, the battery and the Energy Meter, your existing photovoltaic system becomes a complete storage system*.
Extend: adapting an existing photovoltaic energy storage system to growing needs
Do you want to expand your existing installation to supply additional loads with solar energy? It's possible thanks to Sunny Boy Storage! Any retrospective system expansion is still possible, as well as you can adjust the PV system to your individual needs at any time, regardless of the storage system*.
* For photovoltaic inverters without Speedwire/Webconnect, it is also relevant to integrate the Sunny Home Manager 2.0 into the system.
