Solar Energy: The Number of Balcony Power Plants Has Doubled Since the Beginning of the Year
Environment
The number of balcony power plants in Germany has doubled since the beginning of the year, reaching over 700,000 systems with a total capacity of 600 MW. Tenants and apartment owners are entitled to the landlord's approval for the installation of plug solar devices. However, these must be connected by an electrician if they have an inverter over 800 W or battery storage. The actual number is even higher, as there is a reporting obligation and late registrations occur.
