Senec GmbH stands as a prominent German manufacturer of intelligent power storage systems and renewable energy solutions. Founded in 2009 in Leipzig, Germany, the company specializes in developing advanced battery storage technology for residential and commercial applications. As a subsidiary of EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG since 2018, Senec has established itself as a reliable provider of sustainable energy solutions. The company’s focus on self-sufficient energy systems has earned it recognition, including the “Top-Storage-System 2017” award from EuPD Research. With approximately 494 employees and over 1,200 certified installation partners across Germany, Senec continues to expand its influence in the renewable energy sector.
Battery Technology
Senec’s product portfolio centers on lithium-ion and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technologies. Their latest generation of home storage systems features advanced LFP cells, selected for superior safety characteristics and extended service life. These systems operate with high efficiency, allowing for twice-daily cycling at 100% depth of discharge.
The company’s V3 system incorporates an integrated hybrid inverter design, which simplifies installation and enhances system efficiency. This solution supports both single-phase and multi-phase power configurations, offering flexibility for various residential setups. Senec’s battery management system includes sophisticated monitoring capabilities, accessible through mobile applications for real-time performance tracking.
Recent technological improvements include the introduction of the Home P4 and Home E4 models, which represent Senec’s transition to LFP technology. These systems deliver improved safety features while maintaining high performance standards. The company’s focus on German manufacturing ensures strict quality control throughout the production process.
Recent Projects
In July 2023, Senec launched a collaboration with Meyer Burger, introducing the “Germany Bundle” – a combined package of Meyer Burger’s solar modules with Senec’s storage systems. The company has also undertaken a significant battery replacement initiative, upgrading older systems to newer LFP technology. As of early 2024, approximately 5,000 systems have been successfully replaced, with hundreds more being updated weekly. Additionally, Senec maintains an ongoing partnership with IT Sonix to develop advanced software solutions for energy management and predictive maintenance.
Investors
EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG serves as the sole owner of Senec GmbH, following its complete acquisition in March 2018. This ownership structure provides Senec with substantial financial backing and access to extensive expertise in energy solutions. Before the EnBW acquisition, information about previous investors remains undisclosed. The partnership with EnBW has enabled Senec to maintain operational independence while benefiting from the resources of one of Europe’s largest energy companies.
