Overview

• Registered plug‑in PV systems have surpassed one million nationwide, up from roughly 350,000 at the start of 2024, according to the federal network regulator.
• Solarpaket I permits multiple mini‑PV units but caps combined module capacity at 2,000 W and total household inverter export at 800 W, with registration now handled via the Marktstammdatenregister.
• New modular storage is reaching consumers: Solakon’s ONE launched on September 7 with 2.11 kWh per unit and stackable batteries, and an inFranken reader praised its build quality and simple setup.
• Hands‑on testing of Anker’s Solarbank 3 Quattro set reported about 280 kWh generated in the first month and estimated monthly bill reductions of €30–€60 under favorable conditions.
• Scaling options are expanding as Anker’s Power Dock opens for preorders for late September/early October shipping, marketed for multi‑kW PV inputs and large expandable storage, while professionals warn about sturdy mounting, CE/NA‑Schutz compliance, and note that final 800 W and socket‑connection norms are still pending.
