Technical FAQs 4

What are balcony solar panels?

Balcony solar panels are compact photovoltaic systems specifically designed for installation on apartment balconies, terraces, and small outdoor spaces. Unlike traditional rooftop installations, these systems are typically plug-and-play solutions that require no permanent modifications to the building structure.

How much does a balcony PV system cost?

The cost of a balcony PV system varies depending on size, output and quality. Usually, the price for a small balcony PV system is between 500 and 1,500 Euros. However, it is important to note that the cost of installation may be added to this if you do not want to connect your power station yourself.

How much power does a balcony Solar System produce?

Realistic Power Expectations: Balcony solar systems typically generate 200-800W of peak power, translating to 10-30% reduction in apartment electricity bills rather than complete energy independence. A 400W system produces approximately 300-600 kWh annually depending on location and conditions.

Can a balcony solar panel power an apartment?

It’s crucial to understand that balcony solar panels cannot power an entire apartment. A typical 400W system will generate 1-2 kWh daily, while average apartments consume 20-30 kWh daily. These systems excel at offsetting baseload consumption rather than meeting total energy needs.
