Mehr Speicher für weniger Kosten: sonnen senkt Preise für größere Heimspeicher
Stark steigende Energiepreise erhöhen den Wert von selbst erzeugtem Solarstrom. Gleichzeitig verlangen neue politische Vorgaben mehr Flexibilität von Haushalten mit einer Photovoltaik-Anlage. Dadurch gewinnen intelligent gesteuerte, größere Speicher an Bedeutung. Vor diesem Hintergrund senkt sonnen seine Preise deutlich und erleichtert Haushalten den Einstieg in eine sicheren Energieversorgung mit kontrollierbaren Kosten.
Wildpoldsried, 01. April 2026 – Steigende Energiepreise verunsichern viele Haushalte. Gleichzeitig verändern neue politische Rahmenbedingungen grundlegend die Wirtschaftlichkeitsrechnung von Photovoltaik-Anlagen und Heimspeichern, wie etwa das Solarspitzengesetz oder die angekündigte Pflicht zur Direktvermarktung. Viele Haushalte fragen sich, wie sie unter diesen Bedingungen zukunftssicher investieren können.
Größere und intelligente Speicher sind dafür ein wichtiger Baustein. Einerseits helfen sie Privathaushalten, sich gegen Preisschwankungen abzusichern und ihren Eigenverbrauch deutlich zu steigern. Auf der anderen Seite können sie größere Energiemengen aufnehmen, wenn diese nicht ins Stromnetz eingespeist werden sollen bzw. zusätzliche Energie speichern, wenn sie günstig am Markt verfügbar ist.
Als Spezialist für die Direktvermarktung und virtuelle Kraftwerke ist sonnen für diese veränderten Rahmenbedingungen optimal aufgestellt und kann die Investitionen seiner Kunden langfristig sichern. Um ihnen in diesem Umfeld einen attraktiven Einstieg zu bieten, senkt sonnen nun die Preise für einen Teil seiner Modelle deutlich.
Mehr Kapazität zum gleichen Preis: Kunden erhalten die sonnenBatterie 10 hybrid mit einer Kapazität von 22 Kilowattstunden (kWh) zum Preis eines 11-kWh-Speichers. Das gleiche gilt für das Modell mit 27,5 kWh, hier zahlen Kunden nur für eine Kapazität von 16,5 kWh. Haushalte bekommen damit ein deutlich größeres Speichervolumen, ohne mehr investieren zu müssen. Das steigert die Unabhängigkeit im Alltag und bietet Freiraum, um an weiteren Marktmodellen teilzunehmen.
„Heimspeicher sind nicht mehr nur dafür da, den Haushalt über die Nacht zu bringen. Es geht heute um den richtigen Zeitpunkt: Wann soll Energie ins Stromnetz und wann nicht. Wann lade ich günstigen Strom vom Energiemarkt und wann kann ich sogar welchen verkaufen? Für all das sind intelligente Speicher das perfekte Instrument“, sagt Andreas Plenk, Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) von sonnen. „Und je mehr Reserven ein Speicher hat, desto besser lassen sich diese Mechanismen nutzen. Unsere Kunden bekommen hier eine fertige, intelligente Lösung, ohne sich mit den Details des Strommarkts beschäftigen zu müssen.“
Neben den Vorteilen für die DC-gekoppelte sonnenBatterie 10 hybrid gibt es auch für die AC-gekoppelte sonnenBatterie 10 ab einer Größe von 11 kWh einen Preisnachlass von 1.200 Euro (netto).
Mit der Preissenkung reagiert sonnen auf ein Marktumfeld, in dem größere Speicher durch steigende Energiepreise und neue regulatorische Anforderungen wirtschaftlicher geworden sind. Das Angebot ist bis Ende Juni zeitlich befristet.

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.
