Skyrockets to Top Spot: New Record-Breaker Unveiled
Plug-and-play solar systems are taking the world by storm, and balcony power plants are becoming increasingly popular. They're perfect for people who want to reduce their energy bills and generate their own clean electricity. These systems are simple to install, connect via a power outlet, and can be mounted on various surfaces like flat roofs or balconies.
According to data, over 780,000 of these solar devices have been registered in Germany. With more power often making sense, the demand for extra-large solar modules with 500 watts is growing. Let's dive into the top sets of these mighty mini PV systems and determine whether the investment is worthwhile.
Amplify Energy Generation: Introducing 1000-Watt Powerhouses
These extra-large mini PV systems deliver more power than the standard model, resulting in increased energy production and greater savings on electricity costs. Under optimal weather conditions, the more powerful system can generate more electricity, making the investment pay off faster. It also offers flexibility, allowing larger household appliances to be powered by solar energy, and increases self-consumption, reducing dependence on grid electricity.
The legal framework is set by the Solar Package 1, which allows balcony power plants with a maximum total capacity of 2000 watts to be operated - the extra power ensures that the feed-in limit of 800 watts is utilized to the fullest extent. However, storing the generated electricity remains a challenge, as it is often not used immediately. Intelligent storage solutions offer a promising option here.
Battery Up: Enhancing Self-Consumption
An additional solar battery with a capacity of typically one to two kilowatt-hours (kWh) can significantly increase self-consumption by storing excess energy for times of low sunlight. This allows a larger portion of your own solar power to be used directly, rather than feeding it into the grid. The investment in a battery can pay off over its lifespan through lower electricity costs. Given fluctuating electricity prices, the battery offers a future-proof option that provides long-term financial benefits.
