How does a balcony power plant work?

Balcony power plants – also called mini PV systems or plug-in solar devices – usually consist of one to four solar modules, an inverter and a simple plug-in connection. Installation is uncomplicated: modules are attached to the balcony, terrace or roof, the inverter converts the solar power into standard household electricity and feeds it directly into your own grid. The electricity generated can be used immediately via a normal socket (Schuko).

  • No special meter required – modern systems are compatible with all measuring systems
  • Easy installation possible without an electrician
  • No complicated registration with the network operator, easy registration with the Federal Network Agency
