In the future, 100% of the energy needed should come from renewable sources. An important element at the moment is electricity supply, where the share of renewable energy in the first half of 2023 was 52%. As is well known, private households can supply electricity to the public grid with the help of photovoltaic systems. However, the associated systems are often too large or simply lack their own roof space. Balcony power plants can be an attractive option to cover at least part of your own needs.
Currently there are several providers of such micro power plants. However, maintaining an overview in the jungle of offers is a challenge. In the following we would like to show you some recommendations and interesting offers.
