Our software distributes tasks as evenly as possible among the batteries in the sonnenVPP to limit the impact on individual batteries. The sonnen Battery has been specifically designed for VPP participation, ensuring that additional charge and discharge cycles have no effect on system performance and lifespan. Furthermore, we provide one of the most robust warranties in the market that offers 10 years or 10,000 charge cycles. So if your battery is fully charged and discharged once daily for self-consumption and VPP services over the 10 years, that's only 3,650 charge cycles. We also do not restrict the use of your battery so your battery is able to provide all the services you expect – reliable backup power, cost saving solar self-consumption, and revenue generating grid services.
