Independent electricity from your own balcony – that is no longer a dream of the future. A modern balcony power plant now makes entry into the private energy transition easier, more efficient and economically more attractive than ever before. With the innovative storage solutions from Anker SOLIX, the full potential of every mini solar system can be exploited.
Record growth and new rules of the game: Why a balcony power plant now?
The market for balcony power plants is booming like never before. In the first half of 2024, more than 150,000 new systems were installed in Germany – growth of over 50 percent compared to the previous year. This is made possible primarily by new legal regulations: Since May 2024, a balcony power plant has been allowed to feed up to 800 watts into your own house network, registration has been significantly simplified and tenants also benefit from more rights during installation. This dynamic development makes mini solar systems the ideal starting point for anyone who wants to reduce electricity costs and live more sustainably.
With a balcony power plant, up to 30 percent of the annual electricity costs can be covered – without complex permits or major construction work. With rising electricity prices, the investment often pays for itself within just a few years.

How does a balcony power plant work?
Balcony power plants – also called mini PV systems or plug-in solar devices – usually consist of one to four solar modules, an inverter and a simple plug-in connection. Installation is uncomplicated: modules are attached to the balcony, terrace or roof, the inverter converts the solar power into standard household electricity and feeds it directly into your own grid. The electricity generated can be used immediately via a normal socket (Schuko).
- No special meter required – modern systems are compatible with all measuring systems
- Easy installation possible without an electrician
- No complicated registration with the network operator, easy registration with the Federal Network Agency
