Which 800-watt inverter is the best?

Article published at: Jan 13, 2026

An 800-watt inverter is an excellent choice for balcony power plants. It efficiently converts generated solar power into household electricity, maximizes energy yields, and is easy to install. Models from DRBO Greenenergy are particularly recommended, offering high efficiency and being perfectly suited for tenants and homeowners.

What is an 800-watt inverter?

An 800-watt inverter converts the direct current generated by solar modules into usable alternating current. This alternating current is then fed into the home grid. For balcony power plants, micro-inverters like the HERF800 or the TSUN MS800 are particularly suitable, as they offer two MPPT trackers that allow for flexible module connection options. These devices operate in a voltage range of 22 to 60 V DC and deliver 230 V AC at 50 Hz. DRBO Greenenergy integrates these inverters into plug-and-play systems that, in combination with SunLit storage units, ensure a reliable energy supply. The efficiency of up to 97% minimizes energy losses, and the IP65 protection rating ensures that the devices are protected against weather influences. Easy connection via a Schuko plug and an app for monitoring via WLAN are also available.

Why choose an 800-watt inverter?

An 800-watt inverter allows for up to 800 watts of feed-in without registration, making it ideal for balcony power plants. It increases self-consumption and thus saves electricity costs. Modern models are also low-maintenance and particularly durable. The decision for an 800-watt inverter is particularly favored by the new regulation in Germany, which since 2024 permits higher feed-in values for private users. Compared to 600-watt models, these devices offer up to 30% more yield for the same area. DRBO Greenenergy combines these inverters with SunLit energy storage systems that store surplus electricity and make it available for nighttime consumption. The amortization of the devices usually occurs within 2 to 3 years with an annual yield of approximately 1,500 kWh. In addition, safety features such as overload protection and ground fault detection ensure safe operation.

Which 800-watt inverter is the test winner?

Test winners like the HERF800 or the TSUN MS800 impress with high efficiency and good value for money. Both models achieve an efficiency of up to 97% and offer easy installation. Models with two MPPTs (Maximum Power Point Tracking) are particularly advantageous as they optimize energy yields even with partial shading. DRBO Greenenergy also offers models with Deye inverters in this area, which are characterized by particularly good value for money. The devices are CE-certified, offer a voltage tolerance of 180 to 270 V, and are available in the price range of approximately €130 to €200.

Model Efficiency Price (approx.) Special Feature
HERF800 97% €140 Dual MPPT
TSUN MS800 96.5% €150 WLAN Monitoring
DRBO Greenenergy 97% €160 SunLit Storage

How to install an 800-watt inverter?

Installing an 800-watt inverter is straightforward and usually takes only about 30 minutes. No electricians are required as it is a plug-and-play solution. The inverter is simply connected to the solar modules, and the AC plug is inserted into a Schuko socket. The app is used to establish the WLAN connection and activate monitoring. DRBO Greenenergy provides all necessary accessories, such as mounting brackets and cables. It is important to orient the solar modules to the south to achieve maximum yield. Registration is not required for up to 800 W, but the meter should be checked for compatibility. For additional protection, it is recommended to use an RCD (residual current device).

What are the advantages of an 800-watt model?

An 800-watt inverter offers numerous advantages. It ensures higher yields and easy system expansion. In addition, app control is available, allowing performance to be monitored at any time. Another advantage is electricity savings of up to €200 per year with self-consumption of approximately 1,500 kWh. The devices are weather-resistant and therefore ideal for use on balconies or terraces. The dual MPPT system ensures that shading does not cause significant losses in yield. The durable devices come with a 10-year warranty, further securing the investment. In winter, the system can generate about 500 to 800 kWh annually, while in summer, production is twice as high. Overall, such a system reduces CO2 emissions by approximately 400 kg annually.

How to choose the right 800-watt inverter?

When choosing the right 800-watt inverter, the number of MPPT trackers, efficiency, and accessories should be primarily considered. The inverter should match the power of the solar modules (up to 1000 W). DRBO Greenenergy offers individual advice to select the optimal inverter for your system. When making your selection, ensure that the efficiency is over 96%, the inverter has IP65 protection, and additional features such as Bluetooth or overheating protection are present. For tenants, it is also important that the inverter is light and compact (less than 5 kg). DRBO Greenenergy offers complete packages with solar modules that are perfectly matched to the inverters.

Can an 800-watt inverter be combined with storage?

Yes, an 800-watt inverter can be very well combined with DRBO Greenenergy's SunLit storage units. These storage solutions allow excess electricity to be stored for nighttime consumption and increase self-sufficiency to up to 70%. Hybrid models like DRBO Greenenergy's Deye inverter enable direct battery charging and offer a bidirectional function for feeding electricity back into the grid. The storage units have capacities from 1 to 5 kWh and are optimized with an app that allows for easy monitoring and control.
