Try running faster in mountains. Good luck.

Yes and no. The bottleneck is the reduction of 800w for the Balcony System inverter. It won’t give you more, even with 4 panels attached.

The inverter-battery-combi circumvents the reduction as all the extra power is stored in the included battery and transferred slowly into the house grid with said 800w.

I recommend to buy a inverter-battery-combination which I have. It stores all the generated power (up to 4 panels possible with 2,4kwp max at all) while you can infuse 800 watt only maximum (Germany). The reduction is a safety for the power wires.

In my setup, I harvest 1,8kwh in my battery until afternoon while constantly providing 150w into my house grid. This often reaches until 4am morning. My base consumption with electronics standby is around 220w even in the deepest night. So, I don’t deliver the peaks but a steady base stream.

I don’t know your local laws and current setup, but Balcony Solar typically aren‘t standalone setups.

That means they need the frequency signal of your power current - 50hz in Germany. Without this they do not work. This is a safety measure to protect electricians while working.

So called Island Systems work without the frequency signal only. They provide power even in a black out situation. Balcony Solar does not in gerneral.

Balcony Solar Systems are the answer. You can literally plug it into your power plug. And unplug if you move somewhere. ROI is around 5 years. You can even use it for your camper if you buy a inverter-battery-combined system.

Drawback: It is reduced in Wattage (around 2kwp) and will reduce your bill just slightly. (Mine around 30€ each month). You likely won‘t install the panels on your roof and need a different place for it.

All those fuel stations you have to build and operate… And the energy losses to move your car to those fuel stations.

Indeed, this paper seems to calculate around the goal of making powerlines look costly by cutting it to a dedicated process step. If you look at it end-to-end process from production to consumption transportation, it very likely looks different
