By 2020, over 90,000 sonnenBatterien had been installed worldwide, allowing households to act as "small power plants" (source: sonnengroup.com). The production facilities in San Jose, California, and Atlanta, Georgia, support the U.S. markets and research and development. Sonnen has also partnered with companies like ES Solar and Haas Home Technologies to offer integrated solar battery solutions.
Recent Developments

Sonnen continues to have over 90,000 installations and offers a standard 10-year warranty on its products. The ten-year anniversary celebration in 2020 highlighted the company's achievements, including connecting over 50,000 households and reaching a workforce of 700.
