Overview

• Installations of plug-and-play balcony photovoltaic systems in Germany exceeded one million in June 2025, up from roughly 780,000 in the third quarter of 2024.
• Solarpaket1 reforms and a temporary VAT exemption have streamlined registration, raised plug-in limits to 800 W and granted mini-PV privileged status under tenancy and condominium law.
• Entry-level duo sets with 800–1,000 W capacity now start at €299.99 without storage, while optional battery units are available for under €1,000.
• All-in-one storage solutions such as Zendure’s AIO 2400 sell for €749 (2.4 kWh), and systems like APSystems EZHI offer 5 kWh modules expandable to 40 kWh at €1,650.
• Manufacturers including Solarway, Growatt, Anker and Jackery are competing with AI-driven, modular and hybrid storage bundles to boost household self-consumption and resilience.
