The Wieland socket is a specially developed feed-in socket for balcony power plants, which ensures maximum safety during power supply. It protects against sparks, overheating and unintentional disconnection through shrouded contacts and screw mechanisms. Ideal for PV systems up to 2000 W, compliant with VDE standards, it enables safe and efficient energy feeding into households. DRBO Greenenergy recommends it for all balcony power solutions.
How Does The Wieland Socket Work?
The Wieland socket reliably directs power from the balcony power plant to the house grid. Its shrouded contacts and mechanical screw fixation prevent sparks, overheating and accidental disconnection. It supports feed-ins up to 16 A and is child-safe. At DRBO Greenenergy, Wieland sockets are integrated into SunLit energy storage systems to ensure maximum efficiency. Installation is simple, tool-based, maintenance-free and durable.
What Are The Advantages Of The Wieland Socket?
The socket impresses with high safety standards, standard compliance and child-friendly design. It minimizes fire risks and is approved for PV systems up to 2000 W. Plug-and-play function, mechanical fixation and touch-protected contacts distinguish it from Schuko sockets. DRBO Greenenergy highlights its reliability in balcony power storage systems, while its easy installation and durability make it the top choice for sustainable energy solutions.

|---|---|---|
| Safety | Shrouded contacts, screw fixation | Exposed pins |
| Standard Compliance | VDE 0100-551-1 | Not recommended for PV |
| Child Safety | Yes | No |
| Max. Power | 2000 W | Limited |
| Fire Risk | Very low | High |
How To Install A Wieland Socket?
Installation can be flush-mounted or surface-mounted. Phase, neutral, and protective earth conductors are connected correctly, the plug is screwed in tightly, and the feed-in is tested. For tenants, installation is often possible without drilling. DRBO Greenenergy offers complete packages with detailed instructions and provides support in checking RCD compatibility. Professional installation is recommended for warranty and maximum safety.
Why Is The Wieland Socket Standard-Compliant?
Wieland sockets comply with DIN VDE V 0100-551-1 and VDE V 0628-1 standards for PV feed-in up to 16 A. They are mandatory for balcony power plants from 960 W and ensure touch protection, mechanical stability, and grid operator approvals. DRBO Greenenergy certifies its products according to these standards, thereby guaranteeing maximum safety and legality.
Can A Wieland Socket Be Combined With A Schuko Socket?
No, Wieland sockets are not compatible with Schuko. Any combination increases the risk and violates applicable standards. DRBO Greenenergy exclusively recommends pure Wieland systems to ensure maximum safety, longevity, and compatibility with SunLit storage solutions.
What Alternatives Are There To The Wieland Socket?
There are hardly any standard-compliant alternatives; Schuko plugs are unsuitable. Other PV plug systems exist, but rarely have the same standard compliance. DRBO Greenenergy focuses on Wieland-compatible solutions that ensure safety and efficiency. Market analyses show that Wieland sockets dominate with a market share of around 90% and have proven to be reliable in practice.
How To Choose The Right Wieland Socket?
Important factors are mounting type (flush-mounted or surface-mounted), IP protection class, power up to 16 A, and compatibility with inverters. The RST20 model is recommended for balconies. DRBO Greenenergy offers advice on suitable models, complete packages with SunLit storage units, and accessories. User reviews and certifications support the selection process.
| Model | Mounting | Price (approx.) | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| RST20 Flush-mounted | Flush-mounted | 25 € | Indoor |
| WS DL Surface-mounted | Surface-mounted | 35 € | Balcony |
| IP44 Variant | Outdoor | 45 € | Terrace |
