If you live in Germany, you’re probably wondering which manufacturer makes the best powerwall for your home. Fortunately, you don’t have to rely on Tesla to make this decision – there are many options available. You can choose from Panasonic, Enphase Energy, Generac, SolarBatterie ECO, and other companies that produce energy storage systems.
Enphase Energy
If you’re looking for a quality powerwall manufacturer, look no further than Enphase Energy. This company is one of the largest producers of micro-inverters, solar panels, and battery storage systems. They use proprietary software and hardware to provide a smart system for homeowners. With its Enphase software, you can control all the features of your system, including how much energy you’re using and when.
Panasonic
Panasonic is a major supplier of lithium-ion batteries, and will soon begin selling energy-storage systems in Germany. The Japanese company has long worked with Tesla on its electric vehicle battery packs, and views the domestic storage market in Europe as untapped and potentially lucrative.
Generac
The company is based in Germany and has become one of the leading manufacturers of household power products. It was founded in 1959 with the aim of providing homeowners with an affordable backup power source. It produces a wide range of power products, including residential, commercial, and industrial generators. As a result, it has become the leading enterprise in household standby power supply. Recently, the company branched out into household energy storage. It acquired a software control company that allows it to make decisions on how much energy to store.
SolarBatterie ECO
Sonnen is a leading manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries. They are the largest company in Europe to deploy home battery systems, surpassing LG and Tesla. Their SonnenBatterie ECO range is similar to Tesla’s Powerwall 2, with the difference that Sonnen offers AC batteries with built-in DC-AC inverters.

LG Energy
When it comes to powerwalls, LG is among the best. The company produces the most popular powerwalls in Germany, and its new battery technology is safe, reliable, and very affordable.

However, the Powerwall is not updated to use LFP chemistry yet.
Alpha ESS
Alpha ESS is a company that specializes in energy storage solutions and lithium battery technology. Its latest home storage device is called the SMILE 5. It is an excellent replacement for the Tesla Powerwall and is much cheaper. Its LCO is only 0.16USD per kWh, which is comparable to retail electricity rates in the US.
