Overview

  • Germany has officially registered over one million plug-and-play balcony photovoltaic installations after 2024’s Solarpaket 1 reforms alongside VAT cuts and falling hardware costs.
  • Modular battery systems from Anker and EcoFlow enable households to legally exceed the 800 W feed-in limit by directly powering appliances with up to 2 300 W from stored solar energy.
  • Anker’s Solarbank 3 Pro delivers 2 688 Wh of base storage, accepts up to 3 600 W of PV input via four MPPTs and can expand to 16 kWh through stackable modules.
  • EcoFlow’s STREAM Ultra combines a hybrid inverter and 1.92 kWh battery that is AI-managed, upgradeable to 12 kWh, and capable of 2 300 W AC output for high-demand devices.
  • The Bundesverband Steckersolar e. V. and other industry associations have lodged formal objections to draft IEC-Norm 60364-7-751 requiring certified-electrician installations for plug-and-play systems.
