German Retailers Slash Prices on 2,000W and 4,000W Balcony Solar Sets With Modular Storage

Shoppers must navigate Germany’s 800‑watt feed‑in cap, which keeps plug‑in use limited and pushes bigger arrays into registered PV installations.

Overview

  • Solago’s New Year offers list a 2,000‑watt bundle at €1,199 and a 4,000‑watt package at €1,499, both pairing bifacial modules with Anker’s SOLIX Solarbank 3 E2700 Pro and an included smart meter, with storage expandable to roughly 16 kWh.
  • Powerness is selling sets that include the Anker Power Dock, which links up to four Solarbank 3 units into a multisystem and enables wallbox EV charging, with the 2,000‑watt kit from €1,259 and the 4,000‑watt kit from €2,229.
  • Under rules introduced in 2024, plug‑in balcony systems are limited to 800 watts of feed‑in, and eight‑module 4,000‑watt setups are treated as standard PV requiring grid‑operator registration, a suitable meter and professional installation.
  • User tests and example calculations indicate 2,000‑watt bifacial systems typically yield about 1–3 kWh per day in autumn and winter, equating to roughly €80 seasonal savings, with substantially higher returns in sunnier months.
  • PC‑WELT highlights a Solakon bundle at €899.99 plus €99.99 shipping featuring the Solakon ONE storage (2.11 kWh base, expandable to ~12.66 kWh) with up to 2,600 W PV input, EPS backup, bidirectional charging and app‑based control.
