Since April 26, 2024, your inverter can feed in up to 800 watts.

Solar panels only reach their full rated output in perfect conditions. Most of the time, however, the light is not perfect. With more powerful panels (over 800 watts), you can reach your inverter's maximum output of 800 watts more often, even when the light is not optimal. This means you are making the most of the solar energy you can get.

Install your plug-in solar device wherever you can. We offer brackets for the balcony, flat roof or garden .

If you have the choice, you should make sure to adapt the production of your plug-in solar device to your consumption.

If you use a lot of electricity in the morning, you should try to orient your balcony power plant towards the east or southeast. If your consumption is more in the evening, a west or southwest orientation is probably particularly advantageous.

This is because you save more if you use the electricity you produce yourself, as it is otherwise fed into the public grid without compensation.

Although you would produce more electricity if you were facing south, if you don't use as much electricity as you produce at midday (when the sun is in the south), you are feeding your electricity into the grid for nothing in return.

If you are fully focused on performance, glass modules are the right choice for you. This is because the particularly light modules are made of plastic, which is not as translucent as glass.

The advantage of lightweight modules is, as the name suggests, that they are particularly light! Compared to a glass module (approx. 20-25 kg), they weigh only 1-2 kg and are therefore particularly easy to install. In addition, they can also be easily attached to places that would not support glass modules.

Yes and no, it depends on your installation location. If you are installing the solar panels in a location where sunlight hits the back of the panel directly or indirectly, a bifacial panel may be worth it.

The additional space allows you to increase your electricity yield by up to 30% .

If you are an Ostrom customer, you have the advantage of being able to integrate your balcony power plant directly into the Ostrom app. There you can see the production of your balcony power plant directly and adjust your consumption to the production. This increases your own consumption and therefore also your savings.

The sets that you can integrate into the Ostrom app are labeled "Works with the Ostrom App".
