I bought a Sonnen 10 Kw battery 4 years ago. It has paid itself off with the money saved on bills. You can shoot them and they won't catch on fire. They use different chemistry.
Would be interesting to see this comparison again, especially after having contractors install Tesla batteries and see 5% of them leak. Also, how are you comparing the "services" and usage of the batteries? 10 Yr/ 10,000 cycle warranty started with sonnen and others started to copy. But other batteries are not built to be worked and used like a sonnen. sonnen designed batteries from day one to be a functional tool used daily versus a resource to be tapped into only when the power is disrupted. The battery industry is seeing more and more noise and imitators and cheap providers race to the bottom. Buyers should be wary and installers too. Dive into specs and details. Ask more questions and purchase the right tool for the desired outcome.
At 45 seconds in this video the guy says, "German engineering with American innovation". The heart and brains of any battery is the Battery Management System (BMS) which inside a Sonnen battery is made by a Chinese Company, Pylontech. So, "at the core of a Sonnen battery is Chinese electronics and American innovation". I reverse engineered a Sonnen battery and ran into nothing Germany about it. But there was plenty of Chinese.
