Solar Solutions launches AEG 6 kWh plug-in home battery

Solar Solutions Group AG, a Swiss brand-licensing and procurement company that designs, quality-assures, and distributes premium solar systems globally through contract manufacturers under licensed brands like AEG, has presented an AEG-branded AC-coupled, low-voltage storage system for residential applications.

The system was developed by Dutch partner companies BM Energy and Apex Power Supplies, with a focus on the requirements of the Dutch residential market. BM Energy is an importer, distributor and wholesaler of renewable-energy products for the residential and commercial sectors, while Apex Power Supplies is a Poeldijk-based distributor specializing in residential batteries and energy storage systems for installers and energy professionals.

“The Solarcube Pro is an extension of the existing AEG Solarcube range,” Govert Zaalberg, COO of BM Energy, told pv magazine.

According to the product datasheet, the Solarcube Pro is a storage system with 6.0 kWh of nominal battery capacity and 6.028 kWh of nominal battery energy. It uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells.

The 6 kWh configuration consists of a 3 kWh base unit combined with a 3 kWh battery power module. AEG describes the product as a plug-and-play system designed for integration into residential properties.

The battery can charge and discharge at up to 3 kW. On-grid AC output is rated at 800 W as standard, with a 1,500 W “premium” setting. The manufacturer notes that activation of the premium function is subject to local regulations and should only be carried out by authorized personnel.

The system operates at a 90% depth of discharge, according to the datasheet, which states that the figure is based on testing at 25 C.

The 6 kWh version measures 575.5 mm x 460 mm x 281 mm and weighs 54 kg. It has an IP66 enclosure and an operating temperature range of -20 C to 55 C. Communications options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and CAN.

AEG says the storage system supports dynamic electricity pricing and self-consumption, as well as AI-optimized power consumption and virtual power plant applications. It also provides backup power functionality, according to the company.

The new product carries a 10-year technical warranty and a stated 15-year service life. The datasheet specifies cumulative discharged energy of 18.3 MWh per battery over 10 years, based on 70% end-of-life capacity.

It also lists IEC 62619 and UN 38.3 among the applicable battery standards and VDE 4105, IEC 61727/62116 and EN 50549-1 among its grid-compliance standards.
