ᐅ Balcony Solar System: Costs and Benefits – User Experiences?

Hello,

we are looking into balcony solar systems to have something to do. I once had a solar system with a battery storage calculated, but it’s too expensive and only worthwhile with storage, which is not feasible for space and cost reasons.

Does anyone have experience with these small solar power systems?

I am currently building something like this for my parents. What would you like to know?

The internet is full of mostly positive reviews. However, in my opinion, it is currently still more expensive relative to the output compared to proper photovoltaic systems.
With the possible capacity, you can manage the base load quite well.

700W balcony solar system with storage, Hoymiles HM-600, smart meter... That’s great... 😉

If there is space, install it immediately. Look for a reasonable offer, set it up, done. It doesn’t cost a fortune and provides quite a benefit, as the base load during the day is covered by the photovoltaic system.

I hope someone here knows more about this than I do... I am looking for a microinverter with 400W but featuring two MPPT controllers.
The idea is to orient one module east and one west. Later, when it is officially allowed to operate 800W as a balcony power system, I want to add a third module in another location facing south, using another 400W microinverter. This setup would cover the base load quite well throughout the day. Can anyone help me with this?
