How does a balcony solar system work?

A balcony solar system is a compact, plug-and-play energy solution designed for urban living. It allows renters and homeowners without a traditional roof to generate their own clean electricity directly from their balcony, terrace, or garden.

From Sunlight to Household Power
The system starts with one or two high-efficiency solar panels mounted on a railing, wall, or free-standing frame. These panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. A crucial component, the micro-inverter—often integrated into the panel or mounted nearby—then converts this DC power into the alternating current (AC) used by home appliances. This AC power is fed directly into a household outlet via a dedicated plug-in solar connection.

Energy Management and Optional Storage
A key feature is self-consumption: the generated power is used immediately by devices in your home, reducing the electricity drawn from the grid. For increased independence, systems can be paired with a compact battery storage unit. This battery stores excess solar energy produced during the day for use in the evening, maximizing the system’s utility and further lowering your bills.

Key Advantages and Simple Setup
The main benefits are energy savings on your electricity bill and a reduced carbon footprint. These systems are celebrated for their easy installation, typically requiring no complex permits for small-scale setups in many regions, and their flexibility to move with you.
