German engineering giant Siemens has furthered its involvement in the stationary energy storage industry, becoming the latest ‘big player’ to launch a range of home battery energy storage systems.
The company already provides its Siestorage brand of containerised energy storage and since just over a year ago has been a partner in Fluence, providing energy storage technology and services as a joint venture with AES Corporation.

The battery has been launched initially in Germany, with a launch imminent in Austria in April. Siemens said the battery system’s predictive charging and discharging procedures are coordinated in line with forecasted weather patterns and expected energy demand.
Real-time monitoring is available through a mobile app and the system can be configured up to 19.8kWh capacity if six modular units of 3.3kWh are combined.
