A couple of years ago, German company Sonnen decided to give Tesla some competition and launched the sonnenCore — a whole home battery. The sonnenCore can be attached to your current solar system if you have one, and will provide a way to store up to 10 kWh of capacity. If you haven’t got any working solar panels, you can still run a backup system based around the sonnenCore. The battery will simply charge itself from your regular electricity supply instead.
This is less than the 13.5 kWh a Powerwall offers, but the sonnenCore is also cheaper — coming in at $9,500 before installation. If you’re using this battery as a backup solution, it takes less than half a second to kick in, which means most of the devices in your home won’t even have time to shut off. It’s also pretty versatile, offering a wide selection of operating modes so you can ensure it’s serving its intended purpose as efficiently as possible. To make things even simpler, these settings can be adjusted via an app, though Sonnen’s battery is far from unique in this regard. If you want to increase capacity, multiple sonnenCores can be installed together.
In terms of battery, Sonnen is offering essentially the same standard warranty you will get with a Tesla Powerwall. After 10 years, your battery should, at worst, have 70% of the capacity it started out with.
