Solplanet
Solplanet is a company that has already made its mark in the solar energy world. Its story and products are about making clean energy simple and affordable for anyone who dreams of their own solar system. I like the way they approach things: without pathos, but with a soul and a clear understanding of what people need. Let's find out where they came from and what they have to offer.
How it all began: from the shadow of SMA to its own light
Solplanet didn’t come from scratch — its roots are firmly entwined in the history of AISWEI, a Chinese company that was born in 2007 as part of the German giant SMA Solar Technology . If you’re even slightly into solar technology, you know that SMA is like the Rolls-Royce of inverters: expensive, high-quality, reliable. For many years, AISWEI worked for them, quietly and diligently manufacturing inverters for SMA and their sub-brand Zeversolar. It was a time when the Chinese team learned everything from the Germans — from technology to the approach to quality.
And then, in 2019, something clicked. AISWEI said: "Enough of being in the shadows, it's time to shine!" And so Solplanet was born - a separate brand with its own face and character. Of course, the connection with SMA did not disappear completely - technology and experience remained in the company's DNA, but now Solplanet is its own boss. Their production is in Shanghai, and the head office is in Cologne. From where they are slowly expanding their horizons, opening new markets and factories.
What I like about their story is their courage. Imagine: you work for someone for a long time, and then you decide to go out on the scene yourself. And not just go out, but say: "We want solar energy for everyone!" Their slogan "Solar for everybody" is not just beautiful words. They really want to make solar panels not a luxury for the rich, but something everyday, like a refrigerator in every home.
Over the past few years, Solplanet has already made a name for itself in Europe, Australia, Latin America, and Asia. For example, in Australia they were approved by the Clean Energy Council, which opened the door to local support programs. Although they don’t have their own office there yet, they work through partners to be closer to the people.
What they have: from inverters to car chargers
Now for the main thing - what does Solplanet offer? Their trick is that they make products simple, but at the same time such that you want to use them. There are no complicated bells and whistles, but there is a feeling that everything is thought out for real life.
Inverters are the heart of the solar system
Without an inverter, solar panels are just beautiful mirrors on the roof. Solplanet knows how to bring them to life. They have models for every taste and budget.
- Single-phase : Ideal for small homes. Take, for example, the ASW 3-6K-S-G2 - compact, quiet, and also protected from rain and dust. It is easy to hang on the wall, and it produces up to 98% efficiency. This means that almost all of the sun's energy will reach your outlet.
- Three-phase : For those who need more power — from 3 to 110 kW. The ASW LT-G2 Pro series, for example, can work with a bunch of panels at different angles thanks to 10 MPPT. It's like a conductor making an orchestra play in unison.
- Hybrid : Our favorite. ASW H-S2, for example, is friendly with both panels and batteries. Imagine, the sun has set, but there is still light at home.
By the way, the warranty on Solplanet inverters is from 5 to 10 years, and in some countries it can be extended up to 25. This is no small feat - this is what they promise when they are confident in their work.
Monitoring: everything under control
The Solplanet mobile application is like a faithful companion for those who have already installed solar panels from this brand at home or at work. Solplanet, a company that knows about environmental technologies, came up with it so that everyone can safely monitor their solar station directly from their phone. Users have already managed to appreciate it for the fact that it is simple, like all ingenious, and does not force you to understand complex technical things.
This app is like the eyes and ears of your solar system. It is designed for those who have inverters or hybrid installations from Solplanet and want to know what is happening there. Whether it is a small house with panels on the roof or a small warehouse for a business - the program will show if everything is going according to plan. Thanks to it, you can not only watch, but also correct something in time if the sun decides to play hide and seek.
The Solplanet app has a few handy features that make life easier. For example, you open it and see how much energy your station has generated in a day or a week. Everything is presented simply, without tricky graphs that you have to decipher for hours. The screen seems to tell you: here is your energy, here is how the system works. And if something is wrong, the app will immediately wave its hand - it says, pay attention.
It is especially pleasing that you can monitor the station from your couch or from a cafe on the other side of the city. Your phone is in your pocket and you are up to date. The program also remembers how everything was before: you can see how the station worked in the heat or when the sky was covered with clouds. And since it is designed specifically for Solplanet equipment, everything works harmoniously, like in a good team.
How is it in practice?
Solplanet is a pleasure to use. It doesn't try to impress you with a bunch of buttons or wise words. Everything is clear at first glance, as if it was made by friends for friends. If you just want to check if everything is okay, go ahead. If you like to dig into the numbers, there is this. And the fact that the developers occasionally throw up updates warms the soul: it's clear that they care.
Solplanet is not just an app, but a little helper that brings solar energy closer to you. With it, it's easy to keep everything under control and not get nervous about little things. For those who want to live ecologically and not bother, it will be a real find. Such simple things make our lives a little better.
Electric vehicle chargers
Solplanet - has already established itself in the world of solar energy, and does not stop there, offering its users car charging stations for electric vehicles. These devices are a necessity for those who have chosen environmentally friendly transport.
They embody the soul of the brand: the desire to make something useful, high-quality, and pleasing to the eye.
Take, for example, the SOL APOLLO series. The first thing that catches your eye is the design. The stations look stylish and modern, as if they were created not only by engineers, but also by people with good taste. They easily fit into the courtyard of a house or urban space, without standing out from the overall picture. The case is made in such a way that it is not afraid of either rain or sun - the paint holds firmly, and you can also choose a color that will match your car or mood.
But appearance is not everything. Solplanet charging stations can do more than just charge your car. Thanks to the app on your phone, you can set when to start charging, see how everything is going, or even adjust the process to cheap night rates. And if you have solar panels, the station can take energy directly from them - and this is a completely different level of savings and care for nature.
Installing them is a real pleasure for craftsmen, because everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Using them is also convenient: the cable is neatly hidden, access can be protected with a card or phone so that no one else can connect. Everything is done so that you don't waste any extra time and just enjoy the process.
These charging stations from Solplanet are for those who want to live a modern life without forgetting about the planet. They don't just power your electric car, they become part of a new lifestyle where technology and nature go hand in hand. This is the case when something doesn't just work, it also inspires.
Heating systems
In addition to the above equipment, Solplanet is not lagging behind in climate technologies. Heat pumps have already managed to
win sympathy in different countries, because they are easy to use and serve their owners for a long time. What makes tsinasos special? They are able to take energy directly from nature - from the air, water or earth - and convert it into heat or coolness for your home. Imagine: instead of burning gas or heating the air with electricity, you simply use what is already around. Thanks to this, electricity bills become lower, and nature breathes more freely, because carbon emissions are reduced. This is not just a technique, but a real helper for those who care about the future of the planet.
Solplanet offers heat pumps for every taste: there are compact models for small houses, and there are more powerful ones for offices or cottages. They can be used separately or combined with solar panels to make everything work even more efficiently. And if you like smart gadgets, these pumps will easily "make friends" with "smart home" systems - adjust the temperature from your smartphone, and your home will always be comfortable.
It is easy to install such a pump, and it works for years without any special problems. Although Solplanet does not make a splash around the world like some giant brands, its heat pumps have already proven that quality does not always come at a high price. This is a case where technology becomes a part of life, helping to save money and at the same time take care of the environment.
Energy storage
Solplanet batteries are several lines, each with its own character. The low-voltage Ai-LB and the more powerful Ai-HB G2 are especially interesting. The Ai-LB series includes models with a capacity of 5.12 kWh, like the Ai-LB 5K, or twice as large - 10.24 kWh, like the Ai-LB 10K. They operate at 48 V - a standard feature for such devices. These batteries are a real find for the home: they were installed without any hassle, they don’t take up much space, and they work reliably, like good old friends.
But the Ai-HB G2 is a different story, for those who think bigger. There are options like the Ai-HB 075A, Ai-HB 100A, and even the Ai-HB 200A. They can be expanded to 20.48 kWh, because they are modular - you add as much as you want. The voltage ranges from 200 to 600 V, depending on how you assemble everything. Such batteries are an ideal choice for businesses or large facilities with three-phase networks. They are easy to start small with, and then adjust to new needs when appetites grow.
Why are Solplanet cool?
Solplanet doesn't try to be the most expensive brand, and that's their strength. They take technologies that were once only available in the premium class and make them affordable. Plus, everything looks stylish — the inverters aren't some bulky boxes, but neat things that you wouldn't be ashamed to hang at home. And they're easy to install — the instructions are clear, the mounting is simple.
Their inverters even received the Red Dot Award for design and efficiency. It's like the Oscars in the world of technology - they don't give them out for nothing. Although, of course, there are disadvantages. If they don't have an office in your country, and the local seller messes up the service, there may be problems. But they are growing, they participate in exhibitions like Intersolar - it's clear that they are not sitting idly by.
Instead of a summary
Solplanet is about growing out of the shadow of a big name into something of its own, alive and needed. From inverters for SMA to its own charging and monitoring systems, they are working to make solar energy a part of our lives. Their products are simple, reliable and affordable. And you know, I believe that with this approach, they will succeed. The sun really can shine for everyone - and Solplanet proves it.
