In Tesla’s business segment, the energy storage business growth rate is far ahead. The increase in Tesla’s 2022 energy production and storage revenue is mainly due to the increase in the installed capacity of Megapack and Powerwall, and the increase in the selling price of Megapack.

10. Sonnen

Sonnen Group
Established Time	2010
Headquarters location	Bavaria, Germany
Website	https://sonnengroup.com/

Sonnen, Europe’s largest producer of energy storage batteries, was founded in 2010 to manufacture lithium-ion batteries for storing wind and solar energy. In 2016, less than six years after its establishment, Sonnen has developed into the largest producer of energy storage batteries in Germany and even Europe, becoming a unicorn enterprise of the energy Internet. In the same year, Sonnen beat Tesla’s Powerwall home energy storage product with a slight sales advantage to become the world’s largest seller of home battery products. It has thus become Tesla’s biggest competitor in the field of home batteries.

Entering 2023, the German household light storage market continues to accelerate its expansion, and the demand for household photovoltaic energy storage systems has risen sharply. This has allowed Sonnen, based in Bavaria, Germany, to expand its capacity and now produce about 120,000 household optical storage systems per year. The German Solar Association reports that about 214,000 new battery storage systems were installed in Germany last year.

According to more detailed data from RWTH Aachen University, more than 110,000 new household photovoltaic energy storage systems were added in Germany in the first quarter of 2023 alone. Industry experts predict that Sonnen, as the leader in household optical storage systems in Europe, will have more than 1 million installed systems.

Sonnen connects its home photovoltaic energy storage systems to virtual power plants, allowing them to provide power frequency services in the power balance market, among other things, and help battery systems achieve grid stability – which is still largely dependent on conventional power plants or large storage facilities.
