Balcony self-built solar power generation

Do balcony solar power plants need a storage system?

For small balcony power plants with an output power of 300W, the use of a storage system is not meaningful, as experience shows that the self-consumption rate is 80-90%. Even for large balcony solar power plants with an output power of 600W, the use of a storage system is not worth it, as direct self-consumption is still 60-80%.

What is a balcony solar power station?

Balcony solar power stations, also known as mini-PV systems, are small "balcony power plants" that typically consist of a few PV modules. These modules are installed on balconies, house facades, terraces, gardens, or garages or carports, and are directly connected to a special power outlet and your apartment circuit via a micro-inverter.

How much electricity does a balcony solar system generate?

How much electricity a balcony PV system can generate depends on its size. Normally, a small balcony solar system with an output of 200 to 600 watts can generate up to 500 kWh of electricity per year. To put this into perspective: In a 2‑person household, the average annual consumption is around 2,500 kWh.

What is a balcony photovoltaic storage system?

Every appliance in your home (whether it is a dishwasher, oven, or refrigerator) first uses "its own electricity" before drawing electricity from the public grid. Balcony photovoltaic storage system, as the name suggests, is to add a battery system between PV modules and micro inverters.

Can a balcony PV system achieve 100% self-consumption?

In conclusion, for balcony PV systems with a power output of more than 800 W, it is possible to achieve 100% self-consumption through battery storage and programmable output. However, the actual self-consumption rate will vary depending on the household's electricity consumption habits.

What is battery storage in a balcony power plant?

Batterlution Balcony Power Plant Battery Storage is a plug-and-play system that uses LiFePO4 batteries to store excess solar energy from your balcony solar panels. It has dual built-in MPPT controllers and a maximum 800W limited programmable DC output. The batteries are compatible with 99% of micro inverters in the market.
