Overview

  • The government’s Solarpaket1 has raised the allowable feed-in limit to 800 W and simplified registration requirements, accelerating system roll-outs.
  • Retailers such as Kleines Kraftwerk, Solago and Solarway are offering discounted bundles that pair up to 2 000 Wp of solar modules with integrated storage.
  • Products like the Anker SOLIX Solarbank 3 Pro deliver roughly 2.7 kWh of LiFePO₄ storage, 1 200 W output and scalability up to 16 kWh for greater flexibility.
  • Flexible TOPCon modules are expanding urban adoption by fitting narrow balconies and using bifacial technology to capture light on both sides.
  • Combining batteries with balcony PV can boost self-consumption from about 60% to over 90%, cutting payback periods to around three years.
