You really save that much money with your balcony power plant! [Anzeige]

In times of fluctuating electricity prices, a domestic solar system can significantly relieve the burden on the wallet. A balcony power plant costs between EUR 350 and EUR 700, depending on its size and scope. Is it worth buying? And how much can actually be saved by producing solar power yourself? The answer is here.

This is how the balcony power plant works

Balcony power plants are mini PV systems with which users can cover the basic electricity needs of their household. Regardless of the name, the plug-in solar systems can be installed anywhere there is access to a socket. If the balcony solar system is connected to a domestic socket with the enclosed cable, you can start right away.

The enclosed inverter is responsible for converting the resulting direct current into alternating current – so the solar power generated ends up immediately usable in the domestic circuit.

The special thing about the PV systems from Solakon for the balcony is not only the simple plug & play principle but also the design of the solar modules. The bifacial modules, each 420 Wp “strong”, collect solar not only through direct solar radiation, but also absorb reflected light. This increases the generation of electricity by up to 30 percent compared to “solofacial” modules.

The systems are already equipped with an upgradeable inverter. So as soon as the 800-watt rule comes – according to experts, it will be in the course of 2023 – the modules can exploit their full potential. Changing from 600 to 800 watts only requires a software update. Solakon takes over the software update for its customers completely free of charge!

Save money with a plug-in solar system: your savings in figures

The plug-in solar system primarily serves to reduce the electricity costs of a private household. Solakon promises its customers savings of up to 30 percent. The more electricity you can generate yourself, the less dependent your household is on fluctuating energy costs. This means that power consumption can be planned more easily, even in uncertain times.

The system generates up to 660 kilowatt hours of solar power annually. This usually flows first into the energy-guzzling standby devices, such as the refrigerator and freezer.

To clarify: A single household in an apartment building consumes between 800 and 1500 kilowatt hours per year (depending on whether the water heating is centralized or electric). Or to put it another way: the electricity price in Berlin is currently 32.68 cents per kilowatt hour (as of May 2023). This results in savings of around EUR 215.7 per year if you decide to use solar energy from the balcony.

But that’s not all: since 2023, VAT has been waived for solar systems with less than 30 kilowatts peak. Not only the systems themselves are affected by these savings, but also their components – for example inverters and battery storage.

In addition, there are numerous regional subsidies that help finance the new balcony power plant with sums between 50 and 500 EUR.

Financial advantages of balcony power plants: Save now for the future

There have been around 190,000 balcony power plants in Germany since the end of 2021, and the trend is rising. Amendments to the law, such as the upcoming 800-watt regulation, continue to make it easier for users to save with solar. Become part of the energy revolution!
