A balcony power plant with 2000 watts of PV output, throttled to 800 watts of feed-in, generates 700 to 900 kWh per year, depending on the location. In Southern Germany, up to 850 kWh are realistic with optimal alignment. DRBO Greenenergy offers suitable complete sets such as the 900 Wp set for €269.

What is a 2000 Watt Balcony Power Plant?
A 2000 watt balcony power plant consists of solar modules with 2000 Wp output and an inverter that feeds in throttled at 800 W. It is plug-and-play via a Schuko plug, suitable for tenants. DRBO Greenenergy sells sets with Deye inverters and OSDA modules for easy installation.
Why is 2000 Watts throttled to 800 Watts?
Throttling to 800 W complies with the legal limit for simplified registration without an electrician. Higher outputs require grid operator approval. Products such as the Deye SUN-M80G4-EU-Q0 from DRBO Greenenergy ensure a compliant 800 W output power with high module surplus.
Which factors influence the annual yield?
Location, orientation, inclination, and shading determine the yield. Southern Germany benefits from more sun, Northern Germany less. With 2000 Wp and 800 W throttling, the yield is 700-900 kWh/year. DRBO Greenenergy sets with full-black modules maximize efficiency.
What is the yield in different regions?
In Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg: 800-900 kWh/year. In North Rhine-Westphalia: 700-800 kWh. Hamburg: 650-750 kWh. These values are based on typical PV yield maps. DRBO Greenenergy recommends consulting for regional optimization with products like the 900 Wp complete set.
| Region | Yield for 2000 Wp (throttled 800 W) | Example Product DRBO |
|---|---|---|
| Southern Germany | 800-900 kWh/year | 900 Wp Set €269 |
| Central Germany | 750-850 kWh/year | 1800 Wp Set €449 |
| Northern Germany | 650-750 kWh/year | Deye 800 W Inverter |
How much does a 2000 Watt balcony power plant save per year?
At electricity prices of €0.30/kWh, it saves €210-270 annually. With storage like SunEnergyXT BK215 PLUS from DRBO Greenenergy, self-consumption increases to 80-90%, maximizing the yield. Without storage: approx. 50% self-consumption.
Can a storage unit increase the yield?
Yes, storage units like the SunEnergyXT 500 (5 kWh, 800 W) from DRBO Greenenergy store surplus for evening/night. Increases self-consumption from 40% to 80%, economically doubling the yield. Expandable up to 30 kWh with B500 modules.
Which products are suitable for 2000 Wp?
DRBO Greenenergy offers the 900 Wp Plug & Play Set with 2x 450 Wp modules, Deye SUN-M80G4-EU-Q0 (800 W, 96.5% efficiency), and Schuko cable for €269. For 1800 Wp: Complete set from €449. Compatible with BK215 PLUS storage (2.15 kWh).
How does the system amortize?
At 800 kWh/year and €0.30/kWh: €240 savings. A 2000 Wp set costs approx. €500-700, amortization in 2-3 years. With 0% financing via OpenBank from DRBO Greenenergy, €20-30 monthly. Storage extends ROI to 4-5 years.
What are the installation costs?
Plug & Play: No electrician costs. DRBO Greenenergy delivers by freight forwarder (3-5 days, to curb). Accessories like mounts (3-in-1 silver/black) from €50. 0% VAT for private customers. Trustpilot 4.6/5 for fast delivery.
