A balcony power station is a small, compact solar system that is perfect for use on balconies, terraces or small open spaces. They make it possible to convert solar energy into usable electricity right where you live.

Installing a balcony power plant is simple and straightforward. It is placed in a convenient place and plugged into a regular outlet with a special plug. In this way, the self-generated electricity can be used directly.

Yes, balcony power plants can be used flexibly and can be installed not only on balconies, but also on roofs, in gardens or on other open spaces.

The amount of energy generated depends on the size of the balcony power plant and the light conditions. On a sunny day, a balcony power station can generate enough electricity to run small household appliances.

Balcony power plants are very environmentally friendly as they use renewable energy sources. They reduce dependence on conventional energy sources and help reduce CO2 emissions.

Balcony power plants also generate electricity when the sky is cloudy, but the energy production is lower in this case. When the sun isn't shining, your household continues to be powered by the electricity grid.

Yes. Neighbors could view a mini solar power plant as a visually detrimental change and therefore a disruption to their property.

For safety reasons, it is recommended that the installation of the solar modules on the balcony be carried out by a qualified specialist. A socket in accordance with the DIN VDE V 0628-1 standard is required to feed surplus electricity that is not directly used into the public network. This should be set up by a certified electrical installer according to technical standards, a requirement that most electricity network operators insist on.

The 2022 Annual Tax Act introduced changes that exempt smaller systems up to a capacity of 30 kWp on single-family homes from tax. This also applies if excess energy is fed into the public grid for a fee. Despite this regulation, expert advice from a tax advisor remains essential.
