The development and authorization of the first large-scale virtual power plant consisting of home storage systems was a huge feat.

While our engineers were working on the software for the , our operations team was on the road to clarify the regulatory requirements.
They;
🚗 traveled over 22,000 kilometers to meet with grid operators,
✍🏽 filled out 20,000 pages of official documents and 11,000 signatures
👷🏽‍♂️ from over 600 people.

The effort was worth it.

Energy history is being written at the former start-up sonnen on a late summer's day in 2018.

A handful of young people in an office in Berlin look intently at a screen. In a few minutes, it will become clear whether the can react quickly and precisely to fluctuations in the electricity grid.

Extensive tests have already proven that it works. But now the sonnenVPP has to prove for the first time in real operation that it delivers what it promises.

The screen shows in real time whether the sonnenVPP is supplying the energy that the power grid needs for a stable supply. And it works! 🚀
Thousands of sonnenBatteries supply electricity at the same time and thus compensate for fluctuations - decentralized, digital and sustainable. It's moments like these that keep us going.
