Retrofitting a storage unit for your balcony power plant is crucial to maximize self-consumption and reduce energy costs. With the right storage solution, such as the one from DRBO Greenenergy, you can increase self-consumption to 70-80 percent while reducing your electricity costs by up to 64 percent. Such systems pay for themselves in just four years and enable the use of solar power around the clock.
How does retrofitting a storage unit for a balcony power plant work?
Retrofitting a storage unit for your balcony power plant allows you to store excess electricity generated during the day and use it later. This significantly increases self-consumption and lowers your electricity costs. With a plug-and-play system from DRBO Greenenergy, you can connect the storage unit in minutes without needing an electrician.
What challenges exist in the balcony PV industry?
The rising demand for balcony power plants is leading to rapid market growth. Nevertheless, without a storage unit, self-consumption often remains at only 25-40 percent. The problem: energy produced during the day is no longer available in the evening. High electricity prices exacerbate the situation, as households have to buy a lot of energy at expensive prices, while balcony power plants could produce this energy for free.
DRBO Greenenergy offers cost-effective storage solutions that help overcome these challenges and increase self-consumption.
Why are conventional storage solutions insufficient?
Conventional storage solutions often require complex installation by electricians, incurring additional costs of 500 to 1,000 Euros. Furthermore, there are often compatibility issues between storage units and inverters, leading to charging losses and higher standby consumption. These problems can be avoided with modern storage solutions from DRBO Greenenergy, which are compatible with a variety of inverters.
What solution does DRBO Greenenergy offer?
DRBO Greenenergy offers a practical solution for balcony power plants, consisting of compact storage solutions with Deye inverters. These storage units are specifically designed for retrofitting and offer a capacity of 1 to 2 kWh to increase self-consumption and maximize energy efficiency. Thanks to their simple plug-and-play installation, users can get the systems up and running quickly and without additional installation effort.
