How much electricity does a balcony power plant produce?

The electricity production of a balcony power plant depends largely on the performance, orientation and angle of the panels. For optimal electricity yields, the balcony power plant should be facing south and the panels should be installed at an angle of around 30 degrees to capture as much sunlight as possible.

On average, a two-person household consumes around 2400 kWh of electricity per year. At an electricity price of 37 cents per kWh, this results in an annual electricity bill of around 900 euros. With a balcony power plant consisting of two panels, each with 400 watts of peak power, around 800 kWh of electricity can be generated annually, provided there is no shading and the panels are optimally aligned.

However, the decisive factor for savings is the degree to which the electricity generated is used. Only the electricity that you use yourself saves you money. If you use half of the electricity generated, i.e. 400 kWh, with an annual consumption of 2400 kWh, you can save around 150 euros a year.

These savings add up over the years and help to amortize the investment costs for the balcony power plant. You also make an important contribution to sustainable energy production and reduce your carbon footprint.
