Balcony photovoltaics

At the moment, we are hearing more and more about balcony photovoltaics. What does this term mean? How does a photovoltaic system on a balcony work? What benefits does it bring? You will find the answers to these and other questions below. What is meant by the term “balcony photovoltaics”:

are photovoltaic systems mounted on balcony railings, terraces or building facades. Usually these systems are referred to as micro installations, because the power of the photovoltaic modules used does not exceed 800Wp in total. With this solution, the electricity generated can be used directly on site and/or fed into the grid.

How does the balcony microinstallation work?
A micro photovoltaic system on a balcony consists of photovoltaic modules (usually two) that convert solar energy into electricity. The direct current generated, must be converted into alternating current, in order to be used in the household. This is where MUST’s PM800 microinverter comes to the rescue , providing a link between the photovoltaic modules and the electrical outlet.

What are the benefits of a balcony photovoltaic system?
The main advantages of balloon photovoltaics include a reduction in the amount of electricity drawn from the grid, which will lead to additional energy cost savings. This is a huge advantage, given current energy prices. Moreover, in view of the legal changes in operation, it is even possible to earn money from supplying surplus electricity from your own balcony photovoltaic system to the public grid.
In this era of energy transition, it is important to emphasize the fact that even such a small photovoltaic installation generates renewable energy contributing to reducing the carbon footprint.

How much electricity can a photovoltaic installation on a balcony produce?
The amount of electricity generated by a balcony micro-installation depends primarily on its size. Typically, a balcony photovoltaic system consisting of two photovoltaic modules with an output of 800 Wp Can generate about 640 kWh of electricity per year . Dla porównania: w 2-osobowym gospodarstwie domowym średnie roczne zużycie energii wynosi około 1500 kWh i jest to wartość uśredniona. Rzeczywista moc generowana przez mikroinstalacje balkonowe zależy od różnych czynników, takich jak orientacja balkonu, kąt nachylenia modułów fotowoltaicznych, ilość światła słonecznego.

How much does a balcony photovoltaic cost?
The photovoltaic systems we offer can be purchased from as little as PLN 1,600 gross, while the The price of the kit equipped with a 2.5kWh energy storage is PLN 5,300 gross.

How to mount photovoltaic modules to the balustrade?
Seemingly trivial question, yet very important. The safety not only of ourselves, but also of others, depends on the proper installation and the construction used. Strong gusts of wind, rain, snowfall, high temperatures, all have a destructive effect on the construction materials. With this in mind, we offer you durable and secure mounting systems from Value Impex.
