What is a flexible balcony power plant?

Article published at: Jan 8, 2026

A flexible balcony power plant is a modern, particularly lightweight solar solution for balconies, terraces, and facades. It uses bendable solar modules, feeds electricity directly into the household grid, and can be installed without drilling. Ideal for tenants and homeowners, it enables a quick start into generating your own electricity. DRBO Greenenergy offers well-designed plug-and-play systems with optional storage for this purpose.

What defines a flexible balcony power plant?

A flexible balcony power plant consists of ultra-light, bendable solar modules, a micro-inverter, and easy-to-install accessories. The modules adapt even to slightly curved surfaces and are suitable for railings, facades, or carports. The inverter converts the generated direct current directly into usable household electricity. DRBO Greenenergy's systems are designed for ease of use, high efficiency, and durable materials.

What are the advantages of a flexible balcony power plant?

Flexible balcony power plants enable self-generated electricity even where traditional modules cannot be installed. They reduce electricity costs, lower CO₂ emissions, and increase independence from rising energy prices. Their low weight prevents static problems, and moving to a new apartment is hassle-free. DRBO Greenenergy complements these advantages with optional storage solutions for higher self-consumption.

Advantage Description Benefit
Low weight Very light modules Secure installation
High adaptability Flexible design Many applications
Quick installation Plug & Play Ready for immediate use
Bifacial technology Use of diffuse light Higher yield

How to install a flexible balcony power plant?

Installation takes just a few steps: attach modules, connect the inverter, and plug the system into a suitable socket. An electrician is usually not required. Many DRBO Greenenergy sets come pre-assembled and include clear instructions as well as access to an app for performance monitoring.

Why is a flexible balcony power plant particularly suitable for tenants?

Tenants benefit from drill-free installation and the system's mobility. For capacities up to 800 watts, landlord approval is often not necessary. The system can be removed without leaving any residue and still reliably generates its own solar power. DRBO Greenenergy offers compact complete packages specifically tailored for rental apartments.

What power output do flexible balcony power plants achieve?

Depending on the number and orientation of the modules, flexible balcony power plants achieve outputs between approximately 300 and 900 watts. Under good conditions, several hundred kilowatt-hours of electricity per year are realistic. Bifacial modules further increase the yield. DRBO Greenenergy relies on powerful micro-inverters to optimally utilize the available energy.

Can storage be combined with flexible balcony power plants?

Yes, a battery storage system significantly increases self-consumption, as surplus energy is stored for evening and night hours. DRBO Greenenergy offers SunLit storage solutions with various capacities for this purpose. The combination of a flexible balcony power plant and storage can significantly increase a household's self-sufficiency.
