Datensicherheit für vernetzte Energieanlagen – sonnen erhält ISO 27001 Zertifizierung von TÜV Rheinland
sonnen treibt seine Sicherheitsstrategie für vernetzte Energielösungen konsequent voran und hat die ISO 27001‑Zertifizierung erhalten.
Wildpoldsried, 25. März 2026 – Die sonnen Gruppe hat erfolgreich die ISO 27001 Zertifizierung von TÜV Rheinland erhalten – den international führenden Standard für Informationssicherheits-Managementsysteme (ISMS). Damit bestätigt eine unabhängige Prüfstelle, dass sonnen hohe Anforderungen an den Schutz sensibler Informationen erfüllt.
„Die Digitalisierung der Energiewelt bringt enorme Chancen, aber auch Verantwortung. Heute fallen in großem Umfang Daten von PV-Anlagen, Wechselrichtern, Speichern oder intelligenten Stromtarifen an, sowohl bei unseren Kundinnen und Kunden als auch bei uns als Unternehmen. Als deutscher Hersteller und Anbieter vernetzter Energielösungen sehen wir die Informationssicherheit als Vorteil gegenüber außereuropäischen Anbietern und setzen sie deshalb konsequent in allen Bereichen um. Die ISO 27001-Zertifizierung bestätigt, dass wir diese Standards tatsächlich leben und umsetzen“, sagt Oliver Koch, CEO bei sonnen.
Mit der ISO 27001-Zertifizierung stellt sonnen sicher, dass sensible Daten durch klar definierte Prozesse, strukturiertes Risikomanagement und durch regelmäßige Audits überprüft werden. Kundinnen und Kunden können darauf vertrauen, dass ihre Informationen bei sonnen in guten Händen sind – vom Heimspeicher bis zur Cloud.
Der zertifizierte Geltungsbereich umfasst die Entwicklung, Vermarktung, Installation, den Betrieb sowie die Wartung und den Support vernetzter und dezentraler Energielösungen. Dazu gehören Energiespeicher, smarte E-Mobilitätsanbindungen, intelligente Stromtarife sowie die sonnenVPP Plattform (Virtual Power Plant), über die dezentrale Anlagen vernetzt und Flexibilitäten am Strommarkt vermarktet werden.
„Mit der ISO 27001-Zertifizierung unterstreicht sonnen seine konsequente Ausrichtung auf Informationssicherheit und schafft zusätzliche Transparenz und Verlässlichkeit für Partner, Netzbetreiber und Kundinnen und Kunden in der sonnenCommunity“, so Ralph Freude, Lead Auditor der TÜV Rheinland Cert.
Der Weg zur Zertifizierung war ein umfangreiches Projekt. Über mehr als ein Jahr hinweg wurden mit Unterstützung der proXcel GmbH aus Berlin Prozesse analysiert, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen erweitert und organisatorische Strukturen weiterentwickelt.
Erst vor kurzem wurde die sonnenBatterie nach den neuen europäischen Anforderungen der RED-Verordnung für Cybersicherheit zertifiziert. Zusammen stärken beide Zertifizierungen die Sicherheitsarchitektur von sonnen und machen Informations- und Betriebssicherheit zu einem zentralen Bestandteil der Energielösungen.

Shell’s net carbon intensity
Also, in this press release we may refer to Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity”, which include Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the term Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity” is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.
Shell’s net-Zero Emissions Target
Shell’s operating plan, outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, they reflect our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Net Carbon Intensity (NCI) targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCI target, as these targets are currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.
Forward Looking Non-GAAP measures
This press release may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.
