How Balcony Solar Works

At the heart of every kit is a micro hybrid storage unit — one compact box that combines the inverter and battery. The panels catch the sun, the unit stores it, and your home runs on sunshine first. Here's how, in four steps.

Panels on the balcony railing feed the storage unit, which powers your home's sockets and appliances — no roof required.

01

Mount the Panels Where You Have Sun

Compact, lightweight panels fix to your balcony railing, wall facade or stand in the garden — no roof required and no structural changes to the building.

02

Plug It Into a Wall Socket

The storage unit plugs into any standard wall socket in your house — true plug-and-play. The whole installation is done in under 2 hours.

03

Solar First, Grid Fills the Gap

The unit automatically runs your home on stored sunshine first, supplying up to 2kW. If your home needs more power at once, the extra is drawn from the grid seamlessly — no switches to flip, nothing for you to manage.

04

Nothing Escapes to the Grid

Built-in zero-export control means power never flows out of your apartment into the grid. Every watt your panels generate is either used in your home or saved in your battery — you never give away power you produced.
