A balcony power plant is a compact photovoltaic system that can be installed on the balcony, terrace or in the garden. It consists of plug-in solar devices that feed the self-generated electricity directly into the household power grid. This type of solar power station is suitable for personal use and can help meet individual energy needs. In order to cover the individual energy requirement, the size of the solar power plant depends on various factors. This includes the location, the alignment of the solar modules, the available space and of course the individual power consumption. An easy way to roughly determine the individual energy requirement is to analyze the electricity consumption over the last few years. Here, the annual consumption can be used and divided by the number of hours of sunshine per year. In order to cover the individual energy requirements in Germany, solar power plants are typically installed in the order of 00 to 6 kilowatts. As a rule, this basic arrangement enables sufficient coverage of the electricity requirement in the household. However, it is important to note that the actual size of the balcony power plant will depend on individual circumstances and needs. Professional advice from a solar expert is recommended in order to determine the optimum size of the solar power plant for individual use.
