The new battery everyone's been waiting for is finally here! French Plug&Play solar specialist Sunology has just unveiled its very first storage solution, the Sunology Storey. And the least we can say is that it's likely to be the talk of the town! Let's find out more…
Sunology Storey: a battery that changes the game
Gone are the days of complex installation and laborious configuration! The Sunology Storey battery stands out for its disconcerting simplicity: all you have to do is plug it into a simple electrical socket, and it starts storing your excess solar energy. Now that's true Plug&Play! (And believe me, having tested all these storage solutions, I know a real innovation when I see one).
There's no MC4 connector here for connecting solar panels: you don't touch a thing, just plug the Sunology Storey's electrical socket into a mains outlet. In 2s it's installed. Hard to beat that! In fact, this battery will charge itself with surplus solar energy from other photovoltaic systems connected to your home: it will detect surplus solar production (which the home doesn't need), and recover it via the electrical circuit. Just like the Zendure Hyper 2000 solution we saw earlier, but even simpler.
This modular battery offers a basic capacity of 2200Wh and a power output of 500W. But that's just the beginning! You can connect up to 4 modules per group, and even go up to 3 groups to reach the impressive capacity of 26400Wh with 6000W of power!
Cutting-edge technology for maximum efficiency
The Sunology Storey uses the latest-generation LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) technology, guaranteeing an exceptional service life of 7500 cycles over 15 years. With an overall efficiency of 90%, it is one of the most efficient solutions on the market.
Tangible savings every day
Let's talk numbers! With the Sunology Storey, you can benefit from electricity that's up to 4 times cheaper in solar mode. And even in grid mode, the battery allows you to save up to 30% on your bill by charging during off-peak hours. Because if you're not equipped with solar panels, or if the weather's really gloomy (to put it politely, like we've been having for the past 3 weeks), the battery is capable of charging during off-peak hours to restore energy when it's more expensive.
Unrivalled installation flexibility
The great strength of the Sunology Storey lies in its versatility. Whether you already have a solar installation or not, it can be adapted to any situation:
- Plug&Play on a single socket
- Connected directly to the electrical panel
- Compatible with all types of solar inverters. Whether you own a Sunology solar station or any other manufacturer, it's compatible!
In fact, the manufacturer has thought of the possibility of connecting it directly to the electrical panel, to benefit from more power, as the power injected via an electrical socket will inevitably be reduced for safety reasons.
Enhanced safety
In the event of a power cut, don't panic! If you've connected it to your electrical panel, the Sunology Storey automatically takes over to power your essential appliances. Peace of mind that's not to be underestimated these days. This is an important detail, as most of today's solutions become useless in the event of a power cut.
A price that defies all competition
At 1390€ for the Master module and 1190€ for each 2200Wh extension, the Sunology Storey is the most affordable storage solution on the market. Considering its lifespan and performance, the cost per stored kWh comes to around 9 cents, well below the current grid rate.
Intelligent management via the Stream application
The dedicated Sunology Stream application enables you to control your battery and optimize its use. In particular, it lets you :
- Monitor your production in real time
- Analyze your savings
- Set operating modes
- Program charge/discharge cycles
Exemplary French design
Sunology, a French company based in Nantes, has put all its know-how into the development of this battery. The result is an accomplished product that combines technical performance and ease of use, with an elegant design that won't look out of place in your home.
Sunology even imagines using it in nomadic mode on wheels, thanks to its built-in price tag that can power a variety of devices.
Plug&play battery, stackable, can be plugged into a socket or electrical panel, fixed or nomadic mode, power supply in the event of a power cut, recharging on solar surplus or off-peak hours… It would seem that the manufacturer has thought of everything!
Conclusion: an investment in the future
The Sunology Storey Plug&Play battery undoubtedly represents a major advance in residential energy storage. It combines ease of installation, technical performance and cost-effectiveness, all with an exceptional 15-year warranty. For the moment, only the Zendure Hyper 2000 and Anker Solix solutions offer Plug&Play installation with highly intelligent functions. But the Sunology solution will prove to be a serious contender, since it offers all the features we could have dreamed of. We'll have to be patient, however, as the release is scheduled for summer 2025. In the meantime, pre-orders are already open, with a deposit of just €79, which will entitle you to an exceptional price afterwards. Given the craze, it's best not to wait too long to reserve your copy! So don't hesitate to reserve yours now, especially as with our code SUN_MAISONDOMOTIQUE you can take advantage of a 5% discount (on both the reservation and the final price).
