Balcony solar systems are experiencing an incredible success story, especially in Germany. They are easy to install and do not require any major investment. Although the manufacturers supply an app that visualizes the production, nobody knows how much of it is used by themselves and how much is fed into the grid. We help you to keep an overview.
Current situation?
In Germany, the number of balcony power plants has increased significantly in recent years. According to the Federal Network Agency's market master data register, a total of 708,590 plug-in solar power plants were in operation by October 4, 2024, which corresponds to a doubling since the beginning of the year.
This development shows the growing trend towards decentralized energy generation and the population's increasing interest in sustainable energy solutions.
