The first energy system with community at its heart

Clean, reliable, and affordable energy for all

Around a quarter of a million people use sonnen products and are part of our sonnenCommunity. Because no solar system, battery, heat pump, or electric vehicle alone will make the energy transition happen. The key lies in intelligent networking.

Toward a sustainable energy future

We are prosumers, using energy that we generate ourselves.

Stabilizing the grid

As part of the sonnenVPP, the sonnenCommunity actively supports the power grid.

Saving together

The more people who join the sonnenCommunity, the lower the electricity costs can be for everyone.

A Vision Connecting Communities Worldwide

No membership is required to be part of the sonnenCommunity. Everyone who uses our products and shares our vision is part of our community. The sonnenCommunity is taking its energy future into its own hands and shaping the energy systems of tomorrow — from Germany across much of Europe to the USA and Australia.

Voices from the sonnenCommunity

The power of sonnenCommunity:

Soleil Lofts, the first all-electric apartment community with a VPP, powered by sonnen

Located in Herriman, Utah, the project is designed and built by Dell Loy Hansen, the Wasatch Group, and Auric Energy to help improve the local air quality and sustainably power 600 residents with a sonnen battery in every apartment. The Future of Energy is Here.

Shared power is more affordable power

Through the sonnenCommunity and our Virtual Power Plant (sonnenVPP), surplus solar energy can be shared virtually among members. This helps increase independence from traditional utilities and lowers electricity costs for everyone.

How the sonnenCommunity helps stabilize the power grid

By pooling individual home batteries into one powerful virtual power plant, sonnenVPP enables collective participation in energy markets. This networked flexibility helps stabilize the grid, supports the clean energy transition, and generates financial benefits for participants. Every kilowatt-hour of flexibility is an opportunity—to power homes more sustainably and to earn alongside fellow community members.
