Overview

• Federal network agency data show almost 1,000,000 plug-and-play balcony solar units registered under Solarpaket 1’s 800 W cap since 2024 regulatory reforms.
• Major retailers including Solarway, solago, Solakon and Kleines Kraftwerk are offering bifacial-module kits with modular LiFePO₄ storage starting at €1,629 for a four-panel set paired with Anker SOLIX Solarbank 2 Pro.
• Bifacial glass-glass modules deliver up to 30 percent more output than monofacial panels and integrated AI-driven smart meters ensure zero-export self-consumption.
• VAT exemptions, streamlined registrations and falling equipment costs allow households paying €0.30/kWh to save €250–€500 annually and recoup system investments in 3–5 years.
• Competition has expanded storage options beyond Anker, with alternatives like Growatt’s NOAH 2000 and Kleines Kraftwerk’s 4,000 W XXL sets entering the balconies market.
