In the Energy Storage segment, VARTA contributes to the energy transition by developing and manufacturing energy storage systems. The energy storage solutions from VARTA in the home and industrial storage market range from compact entry-level models, such as the wall-mounted system VARTA pulse neo, to our larger energy storage system VARTA flex storage for commercial applications. The AC-coupled systems have an integrated battery inverter and can be combined with all sources of green energy without an additional PV inverter. This makes them suitable for all new installations and retrofits. The intelligent energy management system also ensures optimal use of self-produced solar energy and is designed to significantly increase self-consumption
