Solar energy system on balconies, featuring a solar bank and anchored by a third component: Is the investment at Solago genuinely beneficial?
The German retailer solago has introduced an impressive "XXL" balcony power plant configuration, featuring the Anker SOLIX Solarbank 3 Pro storage set. This complete kit combines robust solar generation with smart storage and inverter technology, advancing small-scale PV system performance and energy independence.
Key Features
The 2000-watt balcony power plant is equipped with four bifacial 500-watt solar modules, totaling 2000 W. These solar modules use N-type topCON technology, boasting high efficiency around 22.6%. The bifacial design allows the panels to generate energy on both sides, increasing yield.
The Anker SOLIX Solarbank 3 Pro offers a significant storage capacity of around 2.68–2.7 kWh. It comes with an integrated 800 W inverter suitable for balcony power plant applications. The storage solution supports flexible expandability and reliable backup power (notstromfunktion). It also enables intelligent power usage to boost self-consumption and energy autonomy, thus shortening payback time.
Additional Technical Data
The maximum system voltage is 1500 V DC, and the operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C. The temperature coefficients Voc and Pmax are -0.26% / °C and -0.30% / °C, respectively. The maximum series fuse rating is 30 A.
Benefits
The high-efficiency solar modules with bifacial technology yield more power in less space. The Solarbank 3 Pro storage optimizes energy use via intelligent management, increasing self-consumption and reducing reliance on the grid. The flexible system allows for expansion and includes a dependable emergency power option.
The compact design makes it suitable for balconies or small roof installations. The integrated inverter simplifies installation and usage in grid-connected mini-PV setups. The combination optimizes amortization time by increasing energy autonomy.
