Balcony power plant
A balcony power plant is a small plug-in solar system. One or more panels generate power, and an inverter feeds it into your own home grid through an outlet.
What does Balcony power plant mean?
The power generated is first used by the devices that are running at that moment: refrigerator, router, computer. Only what is left over flows into the public grid.
With storage, power from midday can be saved for the evening. That increases the share you use yourself. Legal requirements apply to the output and registration of such systems, and they have changed several times in recent years. Before buying, it is worth checking the current status.
A general explanation of the term, not from a video. How it plays out on a specific device in everyday use is covered in the reviews below.
