Germany’s Balcony Solar Price War Escalates With Big‑Module, Battery Bundles Under €1,400

Aggressive discounts now put storage‑ready mini‑PV bundles within reach of many households.

Overview

  • Solakon’s latest bundle pairs eight 500 Wp bifacial panels (4,000 Wp total) with the Solakon ONE 2.11 kWh battery for €1,400, with output capped at 800 W through the inverter.
  • Solago is promoting a 2,000 Wp kit with Anker SOLIX 3 (2.7 kWh) for €1,379 including a free Smart Meter, and the battery can be expanded to as much as 16 kWh.
  • Entry pricing has plunged: Solakon’s onLite set starts from €209 without storage, while inFranken reports launch offers with the Solakon ONE battery from €849.99 and a 2,000 Wp + 2.11 kWh package at €989.99 plus shipping.
  • Vendors lean on the 800 W export cap and 2,000 W module allowance by bundling larger arrays, modular batteries and smart meters to maximize self‑consumption and enable zero‑export control.
  • Field results remain mixed but promising: a Bremen family’s EcoFlow setup cut weekly grid use below 20% in some periods, long‑running mini‑PV has delivered 850–1,000 kWh annually since 2007, and independent estimates peg avoided grid draw at roughly 1,100–1,600 kWh per year for a 2.0 kWp system with a 2.7 kWh battery.
