For private households, balcony power plants, solar modules with storage systems like SunLit from DRBO Greenenergy, and micro-inverters are suitable. These solutions reduce electricity costs by up to 30%, are easy to install, and promote energy independence. Thanks to subsidies, getting started is affordable – ideal for both tenants and owners.
What advantages do solar solutions offer for households?
Solar and energy storage solutions are an effective way to reduce electricity costs and decrease reliance on the grid. They not only contribute to increasing energy self-sufficiency but also reduce CO₂ emissions and increase property value. In the long term, investments in solar systems and storage pay off within 5 to 8 years, thanks to self-consumption and various funding opportunities.
In Germany, the market for decentralized solar systems is particularly attractive due to rising energy prices and the amendment to the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). Private households benefit from annual savings and an improved environmental footprint. DRBO Greenenergy offers practical systems that impress with high efficiency and easy integration into everyday life. These solutions optimize surplus electricity and minimize dependence on the power grid.
-
Cost savings: Up to 70% self-consumption through storage.
-
Sustainability: Each kWp avoids approximately 0.5 tons of CO₂ per year.
-
Value increase: Solar houses are 5 to 10% more expensive when sold.
How do solar and storage solutions work?
Solar modules convert sunlight into direct current, which is then converted into grid-compatible alternating current by micro-inverters. Storage solutions like SunLit from DRBO Greenenergy store surplus electricity for use at night or on cloudy days. Intelligent energy management systems ensure that consumption is optimized.
This is how the solar system works: During the day, the modules generate electricity, which is charged into the storage unit, and in the evening, this electricity is used for the household. Bidirectional inverters even allow feeding into the grid. This dynamically adjusts consumption, maximizes yields, and minimizes grid reliance.
| Component | Function | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Solar module | Electricity generation | Up to 500 Wp per module |
| Micro-inverter | Grid connection | High efficiency (98%) |
| Energy storage (SunLit) | Surplus storage | 5–20 kWh capacity |
| Energy management | Optimization | Up to 30% more self-consumption |
Which systems are suitable for private households?
There are various options for private households, depending on whether one is a tenant or an owner. Tenants benefit from compact balcony solutions up to 800 Wp, while owners can choose larger systems from 5 kWp with larger storage units. DRBO Greenenergy offers SunLit storage units and plug-and-play systems specifically for this purpose, which are easy to install and provide a scalable solution.
The choice of the right system depends on the size of the property, annual consumption, and available space. DRBO Greenenergy provides individual advice and ensures that the systems are optimally configured to achieve the best possible results.
-
Tenants: Balcony solar systems with storage, e.g., SunLit 5 kWh.
-
Owners: Complete systems with solar modules and accessories.
-
Expandability: Systems can be scaled from 600 Wp to 10 kWp.
How to install solar solutions yourself?
The installation of solar systems for homes, especially balcony solar systems, is simple and can be done by anyone. With DRBO Greenenergy's plug-and-play systems, it is possible to install the system yourself: module mounting, connecting cables, and plugging the Schuko plug into the socket. Registration with the grid operator is also done digitally.
Installation usually takes only 1 to 2 hours and does not require any special electrical knowledge. After commissioning, the system must be registered with the market master data register.
Step-by-step instructions:
-
Mount the bracket (tool-free).
-
Connect module and storage.
-
Configure app for monitoring.
-
Inform grid operator (within 4 weeks).
In case of uncertainties, a specialist should be consulted, especially for larger systems or roof installations.
What are the costs and subsidies available?
The costs for balcony solar solutions start at around €500, while systems with storage can cost between €1,500 and €3,000. Various funding options are available, such as the KfW 270 subsidy (up to 30%) and the EEG feed-in tariff (8.2 Ct/kWh). The investment typically amortizes in 4 to 7 years.
DRBO Greenenergy offers transparent prices and special promotions that facilitate entry into solar technology. Some federal states offer additional subsidies that can further reduce the price.
| System | Cost (net) | Subsidy | Amortization |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balcony PV | 500–1,000 € | 190–300 € | 3–5 years |
| With storage | 1,500–4,000 € | 500–1,200 € | 5–8 years |
| Roof system 5 kWp | 8,000–12,000 € | 2,500–4,000 € | 6–10 years |
Why do storage systems complete the solar setup?
Storage solutions significantly increase the self-consumption of solar power, leading to substantial savings in electricity costs. Without storage, approximately 60% of solar power would be fed into the grid, which is avoided by using a storage system. With intelligent control, certain devices, such as heat pumps or electric cars, can be prioritized to maximize the benefit from solar power.
SunLit from DRBO Greenenergy offers particularly high efficiency and a long service life, making the investment in storage a worthwhile decision.
Advantages:
-
Greater independence during power outages.
-
Longer battery life (10+ years).
-
Combination with wallbox for affordable charging of electric cars.
