Balcony power station

11.08.2023

A balcony power station is a small, usually plug-in solar power system that is installed on balconies or terraces and generates electricity for self-consumption using solar energy. It usually consists of solar modules and an inverter and can be easily connected to the household power grid to reduce electricity consumption.

Advantages of mini solar systems ("balcony power plants")

The main advantage of mini solar systems in condominiums is the ability to use the electricity generated yourself. The solar power generated can be fed directly into your own household to cover your own energy requirements. This allows residents to reduce their electricity costs and become less dependent on expensive energy suppliers.

Another advantage of mini solar systems is their environmental friendliness. By utilising solar energy as a renewable energy source, they help to reduce CO2 emissions and support the expansion of renewable energies. In addition, they require little maintenance and have a long service life, making them a sustainable investment.

However, the mini solar systems not only offer advantages for the residents of the condominiums, but also for society as a whole. Decentralised power generation using solar energy relieves the burden on the public power grid and reduces the need to expand large power plants. In addition, the use of mini solar systems can help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Due to the growing importance of renewable energy and the endeavour to facilitate the transition to a greener energy future, a change in the law regarding balcony power plants is currently being planned. This change could have a significant impact on property owners and tenants. For a deeper insight into the planned changes and to stay up to date, click here for more details.
