What is a Balcony Power Plant?

Many people are increasingly opting for renewable energies and want to do their bit to protect the climate. Balcony power plants are very popular, they are not expensive to purchase and suitable for rented apartments, some countries and regions have subsidies by policymakers.

• Composition

The balcony power plant, mini photovoltaics system, play and plug, and balcony solar system, have many names. It’s a system that consists of solar panels, and micro inverters to generate your own solar power and feed it into your home grid. Easy installation, unpack, hang up, plug in, and then this balcony power plant can work for you.

• Principle of operation

A balcony power plant generates electricity from solar energy and feeds it directly into your own grid. The solar panels on your balcony, on the wall of your house, in the garden or on the garage roof allow you to reduce your own electricity consumption and save money. Moreover, you help protect the climate because the electricity comes from renewable sources and therefore does not produce any CO₂ emissions.

• Balcony Power Plant Advantage

  
  

  

○ Easy installation: Unpack, hang up, plug in, and the balcony power plant can start to work for you.

○ Saves space: Balcony power plants can be installed in a limited area and therefore require less space than large solar plants.

○ Cost-efficient: Balcony power plants are typically smaller and simpler than traditional solar plants, which makes them more cost-efficient.

○ Independence from the electricity supply: By generating your own electricity, you can become less dependent on the public electricity supply.

○ Environmentally friendly: Using solar energy to generate electricity is an environmentally friendly alternative to using fossil fuels. In addition, the balcony power  plant can be easily dismantled and transported when you move out. This gives you the flexibility to generate your own electricity for personal consumption in your new flat or house, meaning you do not have to buy a new system.

• How can I build the balcony power plant?

• Purchase

Buy the suitable solar panel, micro-inverter, panel racking and other accessory that you need.

• Location

The power of a power plant depends on its location, the inclination and orientation of the panels, and the intensity of solar radiation at the place of residence. The optimum location is at an angle of about 35~40°to the south

• Installation

Firstly, the solar panel is fixed in place, using suitable brackets for the solar panels in house walls, for balcony railings and for setting them up in the garden or on garage roofs. Secondly, connect the solar panels and microinverter. Thirdly, the inverter is then connected to your own power grid. This balcony power plant can work.
