Manufactured by Germany’s multi-award winning sonnen, this small device is an add-on component for sonnenBatterie Eco systems. It can sense electricity outages and blackouts in real time and automatically switch to your stored battery power. This enables you to have an off-grid emergency electricity supply!

Sonnen Protect Solutions From Energy Matters

We offer a number of configuration choices when buying a sonnen battery system if you wish to also incorporate backup power protection. Energy Matters’ battery system experts can help you select best energy storage solution and options for your particular needs and circumstances.

If you already have a sonnen battery system installed, we can retrofit a tailored Sonnen Protect 2500solution.

Budget:

  • Install just the sonnenProtect, which has a single power point.

  • Limited to 2.5 kW load (2.5 kVA)

  • Use extension cords and plug boards to power appliances.

Connected:

  • Run new cables from the sonnenProtect, to defined backup power points, via exposed conduit.

  • Location of electricity outlets according your preference (e.g. one behind fridge, behind microwave, one in living room).

Backup Power Capabilities

While you’ll be able to run many appliances during a blackout, note the 2.5kW load total limit. This means it’s not viable to run very large power consumption appliances such as some reverse cycle air conditioner. However, in a blackout scenario, you’ll be able to run items such as:

  • an energy-efficient fridge or freezer
  • lamps
  • a radio
  • laptop computers
  • fans and portable evaporative coolers
  • chargers for handheld devices.

Note: When operating in off-grid mode with sonnen Protect, the sonnenBatterie cannot be charged by a solar panel array.
