The modular design is available in both single and three-phase versions. The home memory weighs 73.5 kilograms without a bracket,Atmoce offers a 15-year guarantee on the device and ensures a lifespan of 10,000 charging cycles. The company also showcased a micro-inverter, an AC-AC converter operating at less than 60 volts with a claimed efficiency of 97.4%.
Sigenergy’s Commercial Storage: Power and Scalability
Sigenergy showcased its storage solutions for both residential (Sigenstor) and commercial (Sigenstack) applications. Sigenstack, designed for commercial use, offers greater power and a faster discount rate of 1c, building on the design principles of its home storage counterpart. The new inverter series, ranging from 50 kW to 125 kW, is designed for seamless battery integration. The storage capacity ranges from 48-kilowatt hours to 5-megawatt hours.
Lumenhaus’ Sunsaver: Streamlined Home Energy Storage
Lumenhaus presented its three-phase home memory system, Sunsaver. This modular system includes a power supply module, a control box, two to six battery modules, and an AI-controlled energy management system (EMS).
The Sunsaver is designed for resilience, “in the event of power failures, the home memory switches to emergency power supply in less than 20 milliseconds and thus ensures an uninterrupted energy supply.” Depending on the configuration, it delivers between ten and 30-kilowatt hours.The Mylumenhaus app provides real-time monitoring and control for optimized energy consumption.
Weess’ powerower: Simplifying Tenant Electricity Models
Weess introduced its Powerower, designed to manage energy distribution in apartment buildings, addressing the bureaucratic challenges frequently enough associated with tenant electricity models. The device manages energy distribution for up to 72 households, meeting all EEG (German Renewable Energy Sources Act) requirements. The associated home memory, Zugspitze, is a complete system offering ten to 20-kilowatt hours of storage.
Impact on the U.S. Market
The innovations presented at the trade show have many potential implications for the U.S. market.The emphasis on safety in Atmoce’s low-voltage battery could address concerns around the installation and maintenance of home energy storage systems. Sigenergy’s scalable commercial storage solutions could be particularly attractive to U.S. businesses looking to reduce energy costs and improve grid resilience. Lumenhaus’ focus on seamless emergency power backup aligns with the growing demand for reliable energy solutions in the face of increasing weather-related power outages in the United states.
Looking Ahead
These advancements reflect a broader trend toward decentralized, efficient, and user-friendly energy solutions. As the energy storage sector continues to evolve, expect to see further innovations that empower individuals and businesses to take control of their energy consumption and contribute to a more lasting future.
