Yes, both tenants and homeowners can benefit from solar energy. DRBO Greenenergy offers them customized solutions such as balcony power plants, solar modules, and energy storage systems. These plug-and-play systems are easy to install, promote independence from rising electricity prices, and contribute to sustainability. Solutions for balconies, terraces, or roofs are particularly popular, enabling cost-effective and environmentally friendly use of solar energy.
Which solar solutions are suitable for tenants?
For tenants, balcony power plants are particularly suitable, as they can be installed easily and without major modifications. These systems consist of solar modules and micro-inverters and can be connected to the power grid via a simple Schuko plug. DRBO Greenenergy offers ready-to-plug-in complete packages that can deliver up to 800 watts of power and enable an annual energy production of up to 700 kWh. These systems typically pay for themselves within 3 to 5 years, making them an attractive way to significantly reduce electricity costs. It is particularly important that in most cases these systems can be installed without the landlord's consent if they remain below 600 watts of power.
| Benefits of Balcony Power Plants for Tenants | Details |
|---|---|
| Easy Installation | Plug & Play, no drilling required |
| Performance | 300-800 Watts, up to 700 kWh/year |
| Amortization | 3-5 years at 30 cents/kWh electricity price |
| Storage Option | SunLit up to 5 kWh capacity |
What options do homeowners have?
Homeowners can opt for larger rooftop solar systems. These systems consist of solar modules, inverters, and extensive storage units designed for 5-10 kWp operation. DRBO Greenenergy offers individually scalable solutions that can be adapted to electricity consumption and enable an annual generation of 4,000 to 10,000 kWh. These systems can increase self-consumption by up to 70% and result in savings of up to €1,500 annually. By installing energy storage systems, the generated electricity is optimally used, even when the sun is not shining.
How to install DRBO Greenenergy systems?
The installation of DRBO Greenenergy systems is simple and user-friendly. For tenants, there are so-called plug-and-play systems that are ready for use within 30 minutes. You just plug the solar module into the micro-inverter, attach the system to the balcony, and plug it into the socket. After registering with the grid operator, the system is ready to generate electricity. Homeowners need a slightly more complex mounting system for roof systems, but it is also easy to understand. DRBO Greenenergy offers detailed instructions and support service to facilitate the installation process.
What subsidies are available in 2026?
For the year 2026, there are numerous funding opportunities that make the installation of solar systems even more attractive. DRBO Greenenergy helps to apply for these grants. For example, there is a KfW subsidy of up to 30% for battery storage systems, as well as an EEG feed-in tariff for surplus electricity fed into the grid. Tenants can also benefit from the tenant electricity law and receive a bonus of up to €600. These subsidies significantly help to reduce investment costs and increase the profitability of solar systems.
Why is solar energy financially worthwhile?
Solar energy is not only environmentally friendly but also a worthwhile financial investment. The amortization of a solar system typically occurs within 4 to 7 years, depending on the size of the system and the development of electricity prices. Homeowners can save up to €1,500 annually, while tenants with a balcony power plant can reduce their electricity bill by up to €500 per year. Furthermore, the value of the house increases by about 5-10% with the installation of a solar system. With DRBO Greenenergy products, such as the efficient SunLit energy storage systems, these savings can be further maximized.
| Cost-Benefit Comparison | Balcony PV | Rooftop PV |
|---|---|---|
| Investment | €800-€2,000 | €10,000-€20,000 |
| Annual Savings | €200-€500 | €1,000-€2,000 |
| Amortization | 4 years | 6 years |
| Lifespan | 20 years | 25 years |
What new trends are there in 2026?
In 2026, new technological innovations will shape the solar energy industry. Particularly noteworthy are bidirectional chargers, which enable storing surplus electricity for later consumption, and perovskite modules, which deliver significantly more energy with an efficiency of up to 25%. DRBO Greenenergy integrates these technologies into its existing systems to further increase efficiency. Tenants benefit from flexible, portable solar panels, while homeowners benefit from innovative energy management systems that enhance the smart home experience.
How to maximize self-consumption?
An important part of solar energy utilization is maximizing self-consumption. With DRBO Greenenergy systems, such as the SunLit energy storage, up to 80% of the generated electricity can be used in your own household. This is achieved by targeted use of electricity during daylight hours when the sun is shining, and charging the storage to use electricity at night or on cloudy days. DRBO Greenenergy's intelligent energy management systems help to maximize self-consumption and further increase efficiency.
