Balcony Solar Kits From €799 as €1,399 High-Output Bundles Arrive

Retailers roll out entry-level plug-&-play kits with modular storage ahead of potential IEC plug-in restrictions.

Overview

  • Solakon’s onBasic 1000W system is offered at €799 and includes two 500 W bifacial modules, a Growatt 800M-X inverter and plug-&-play installation without an electrician.
  • Kleines Kraftwerk’s Quattro XL bundle features four 500 W TopCon panels paired with the Anker Solix Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro storage for €1,399 through August 4.
  • Anker’s Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro delivers 2,688 Wh capacity with four MPPT trackers and can expand to 16 kWh, while Growatt’s NOAH 2000 offers 2,048 Wh capacity and up to 8,192 Wh modular growth.
  • Households can save around €300 per year on electricity with a balcony PV kit, increasing to €500 annually when adding a compatible storage unit and achieving payback in as little as 2.5 years.
  • An impending IEC regulation may tighten plug-in requirements, potentially complicating the current ease of installing plug-&-play balcony power plants.
