Excess power that you generate during the day can be stored in your home battery. When you need electricity, you don't have to take it from the grid, but can use your own previously generated solar power. This makes you less dependent on the grid and more self-sufficient.

The Sunny Home Manager from SMA is the best-selling energy management system worldwide. The device uses the weather forecast for your location and a self-learning algorithm to determine when you can expect a lot of excess solar power. In addition to the home battery, the Sunny Home Manager can also control other consumers such as charging stations, heat pumps or household appliances. Ask our advisors for more information.

With a battery at home, you can protect yourself against the consequences of power outages on the grid. Even if the power in the street or the neighborhood fails, with your solar panels and battery you can still power your essential consumers.

If a lot of renewable energy is generated on sunny days when consumption is low, this can locally lead to higher voltage in the low-voltage grid. Inverters then switch off to keep the grid stable. That's a waste, because no solar power is then generated. You can prevent this by storing your self-generated power in a home battery at these times. The inverter then does not switch off and you don't lose any power. This way you have more green power left that you can use intelligently later.

The SMA system is currently being tested for a link to dynamic tariffs on the EPEX spot market. This makes it possible to fill the battery with electricity when prices are low, and thus save even more money on the energy bill.

The SMA battery is installed within 1 working day. The device can be installed in various places: both on the floor and on the wall, and both indoors and outdoors.

Due to the strong growth of renewable energy, there are more and more moments when there is a greater supply of clean power than is needed at that moment. With a home battery, you balance the generation and demand for electricity by storing green power and using it later or feeding it back. This means that fossil fuel power plants have to step in less, and there is even more room for renewable energy on the grid.

Our power grid is getting fuller and fuller, both for electricity consumption and for electricity feedback. This is mainly because there are peak moments when everyone wants to consume or feed back electricity at the same time. A home battery helps to shift both demand and supply over time, which reduces congestion on the power grid. This is beneficial for everyone. Your home batteries also contribute to a stable power grid for the whole of the Netherlands.
