Generate your own solar power and use it effectively

With the PV system on the roof of their home, the Reinhardt family from northern Hesse, Germany, is committed to be part of the energy transition. The sustainable power generation is well established so that they want to continue to store excess energy using a storage system.

Making coffee, doing the laundry, washing the dishes – all this is possible sustainably and cost-effective with solar power from your own roof. The Reinhardt family from Ihringshausen near Kassel, Germany, has been banking on an SMA Energy System Home since 2013.

The intelligent Sunny Home Manager distributes the solar power to home appliances, allowing a large portion of the generated solar energy to be consumed directly. And because the PV system produces 10,000 kWh of electricity per year, twice as much as the Reinhardts need for their own use, they want to expand and add a battery-storage and e-mobility. Then the family can capitalize on even more valuable PV power – especially when the sun is not shining.
