Reduced Prices for Solakon Balcony Power Plants: Now More Lucrative Than Ever
In the heart of Germany's renewable energy revolution, mini-PV systems, or balcony power plants, are making a significant impact. With over 1.5 million households adopting these systems, they are becoming a key player in the country's solar market.
Solakon GmbH, a leading retailer in this sector, offers a range of mini-PV systems designed to cater to various power demands. The onPower model, suitable for operators with higher power demands and sufficient space, boasts a total power of 2000 watts. This balcony power plant, equipped with four high-performance modules, each with 500 watts, uses bifacial solar modules from Jolywood.
The onPower model also includes an inverter mount, connection cable, extension cables, Y-plugs, and the Solakon app for monitoring. This app, developed in Germany, offers features such as energy production tracking, integration with Shelly energy meters, and maximization potential with Solakon AI.
For those with smaller power requirements, Solakon offers the onLite model, an entry-level set, and the onBasic set, the best-seller. The onLite model comes with bifacial modules and is the strongest bifacial balcony power station for under 300 euros, while the onBasic set includes 2x solar modules with 500 watts each and a Growatt NEO 800M-X inverter.
The popularity of these systems is evident in the market data. In the first four months of 2025, balcony solar systems contributed about 152.7 MW of new solar capacity, out of a total of 4.65 GW of new solar installed in Germany during this period. The growth in mini-PV systems is supported by an increasing battery storage market, with over 250,000 new battery storage systems activated in early 2025.
Solakon stands out for its particularly short delivery times, with orders arriving within five to seven days. Shipping costs for the onPower model range from 59 to 89 euros, and the retailer now ships to Austria. The onPower model is available for 449.99 euros, with a regular price of 1,099.99 euros, representing a savings of over 50 percent.
The growth in mini-PV systems is fuelled by policy frameworks that allow these small-scale systems up to 800 W to operate without complicated permits. This, coupled with their convenience and low-barrier access to solar power, has made them especially appealing to renters and apartment dwellers.
As the trends and market data show, mini-PV systems are a significant and growing segment of Germany’s solar market. They offer convenient, low-barrier access to solar power for apartment dwellers and renters, contributing meaningfully to distributed renewable generation despite an overall deceleration in larger solar projects.
