How to maximize energy independence with Hoymiles storage?

Hoymiles storage units offer an outstanding solution for maximizing energy independence. These AC-coupled lithium iron phosphate battery systems enable balcony power plants and solar installations to efficiently store surplus electricity. With a self-consumption rate of up to 80 percent, they help meet energy needs independently and significantly reduce electricity bills. DRBO Greenenergy offers tailor-made packages for tenants and homeowners.

What is the current situation in the energy storage market?

The energy storage market in Germany is growing rapidly, especially in the area of balcony power plants. According to the Federal Network Agency, over 500,000 balcony power plants were installed in 2025, but only about 20 percent of them use storage technology. High electricity prices place an additional burden on households. Without storage, a significant portion of the generated solar power is fed unused into the grid, leading to financial losses. DRBO Greenenergy offers solutions to better utilize this potential.

What are the weaknesses of traditional solutions?

Traditional batteries like lead-acid batteries have a limited lifespan of 3 to 5 years and only reach a depth of discharge of 50 percent. Their efficiency is 80 percent, leading to energy losses. In addition, the installation costs for traditional systems are high and require electricians. In comparison, Hoymiles' innovative storage solutions offer significantly higher efficiency and a longer lifespan, making them an attractive alternative.

What does the Hoymiles storage offer as a solution?

The Hoymiles MS-A2 storage unit offers a capacity of up to 1.92 kWh with an impressive efficiency of 98 percent. This storage is AC-coupled and ideal for balcony power plants. With an integrated heating function and IP65 certification, it is also suitable for year-round outdoor use at temperatures from -20 to +55 °C. DRBO Greenenergy offers these storage units in combination with powerful Deye inverters to ensure optimal performance.

What advantages does Hoymiles have over traditional storage solutions?

DRBO Greenenergy offers these storage units in complete packages, specially tailored to the needs of tenants and homeowners.

How to install the Hoymiles storage unit step-by-step?

The installation of the Hoymiles storage unit is simple and can be done in a few steps:

1. Connect the balcony power plant to the socket and calibrate the smart meter (5 minutes).

2. Connect the storage unit to WLAN via the app and activate dual mode (10 minutes).

3. Connect cables: AC output to the power plant and optionally the house load via relay (15 minutes).

4. Set charging times via the S-Miles app (e.g., charge from 8 AM to 6 PM).

5. Monitor daily yield and store up to 2 kWh.

The entire installation takes only about 30 minutes and does not require an electrician. DRBO Greenenergy provides mounting brackets free of charge.

Who benefits in which scenarios?

Scenario 1: Tenant with 800 Wp balcony power plant

Problem: 70 percent of the generated electricity is lost during the day. Without storage, the tenant loses up to €300 annually. With Hoymiles MS-A2, 1.5 kWh is stored daily, and self-consumption increases to 85%. This saves up to €450 per year.

Scenario 2: Family with EV charging

Problem: High electricity costs due to peak load during EV charging (€0.40/kWh). Without storage, monthly costs are about €200. With a Hoymiles storage unit, cars can be charged with solar power, saving up to €1,200 annually.

Scenario 3: Senior household in winter

Problem: Low yields and high heating costs in winter. Traditional power stations often freeze and provide no energy. With Hoymiles and an integrated heating system, a winter reserve of 0.8 kWh is provided, which can save about €200 in heating costs annually.

Scenario 4: Landlord with 5 residential units

Problem: Tenants demand solar energy, but installing a rooftop system is expensive. With DRBO Greenenergy's balcony storage solutions, the landlord can install storage per unit, increasing rental potential by up to €2,000 and enabling 80% self-sufficiency.

Why is now the time to switch to Hoymiles storage?

Forecasts for the storage market until 2030 show enormous growth, with a doubling of storage capacity to 20 GWh. New EU regulations will require a 50 percent self-consumption rate in new buildings. Those who invest now will secure ten years of subsidies and benefit from falling battery prices. Hoymiles even offers scalable mega-storage solutions, ideal for DRBO Greenenergy's commercial customers.
