The California Energy Commission (CEC) has accepted the SMA Energy System Home to its CEC energy storage system (ESS) list.
The SMA Energy System Home includes a Sunny Boy 6.0-US battery inverter and a 10-kWh battery from BYD. The CEC ESS list highlights products that meet national safety and performance standards. Other approved energy storage systems include those from Blue Planet, NeoVolta and Sungrow.
“The CEC recognition comes at an important time as Californians are acclimating to the new normal of public safety power shutoffs,” said Nick Morbach, executive vice president of home and business solutions at SMA. “With the SMA Energy System Home, homeowners have more control of their personal energy management.”
Interesting, no Sonnen ecolinx, LG Chem, or TESLA systems directly called out by the CEC. No SolarEdge SE mentioned, no Enphase IQ8, no GENERAC.

The CEC seems to be leaving out some very well known ‘players’ in the budding residential energy storage industry.
