Solar power initiative launched by ACTEC on balconies: a promising kickoff for solar energy
Germany is leading the way in balcony solar power adoption, driven by strong government incentives and urban demand [1][3][5]. In April 2025, balcony solar systems contributed about 53 MW to new solar installations, highlighting the growing market maturity [1].
One retailer making waves in this sector is ACTEC, which offers a bifacial mini-PV with 880 watts and glass-glass modules for 205 euros [2]. The shipping costs for all balcony power plant sets are 89 euros, except for the Growatt storage which is free of shipping costs.
While specific offerings from ACTEC related to battery storage in Germany aren't explicitly detailed, the retailer is expected to align with market trends by providing combined balcony solar and battery storage products [4]. Battery storage is increasingly integrated to optimize residential solar use [5].
For those seeking precise product details, contacting ACTEC directly or visiting their website would be the best approach. The retailer offers a smaller power plant with an XL set of 1760 watts for 499 euros, with the storage unit sold separately [3]. The Growatt storage for expanding an existing mini-PV is available at ACTEC for 518 euros.
The set includes three Trina Solar Fullblack modules, Growatt NOAH 2000 Plug & Play storage, Growatt NEO 800M-X inverter, and other accessories. The Growatt NOAH 2000 plug & play storage has a charging capacity of 2,048 kilowatt hours [3].
ACTEC's offerings extend beyond balcony power plants, with a wide range of batteries and related accessories available for purchase. The best-selling balcony power plants start at under 250 euros, and the editorial team recommends the storage set with 1335 watts for only 890 euros [3].
Prices for mini-PVs and energy storage at ACTEC are competitive, with an additional discount of two percent offered for purchases made by bank transfer, credit card, giropay, Klarna Sofort, or Sofort Banking [3].
For those interested in staying updated on trends, product innovations, and bargains, the editorial team suggests joining the Facebook group "Photovoltaik 2025 News, Anbieter & Preise" [6].
