High-capacity Anker solar power bank offers a whopping 4000 watts.
The Okta Set from Kleines Kraftwerk and solago is a game-changer in the world of balcony solar power. This innovative system, which includes the Anker Solarbank 3 Pro and eight high-quality XL solar modules, offers a total power of 4000 watts.
The mounting system for the Okta Set is included in the complete set and is suitable for both flat roofs and floors. For those preferring a more compact setup, Kleines Kraftwerk also offers the Okta balcony power plant and alternatively as a Hexa set (six modules).
Shipping for the Okta Set from both Kleines Kraftwerk and solago is free, or pick-up in Hilden near Düsseldorf is possible. The price for the Okta Set from Kleines Kraftwerk is 1,739 euros (instead of 2,659 euros RRP), while the Okta Set from solago is priced at 1.799 Euro with a discount (instead of 2.279 Euro RRP).
It's important to note that balcony power plants, officially known as plug-in solar devices, are booming in Germany with nearly 1 million registered. However, the legal process and registration requirements for these systems differ significantly depending on their total power output.
For standard balcony power plants, usually up to 600-600W, users often need only to inform their local grid operator about the installation. They operate mostly as self-consumption units without significant feed-in to the grid, thus minimal legal and administrative steps are needed.
On the other hand, systems above 2000 watts, known as XXL sets, require formal notification and registration with the grid operator under the Electricity Network Access Ordinance and the Renewable Energy Sources Act. They must comply with technical connection requirements, often require a dedicated electricity meter, and may be subject to feed-in tariffs or market premiums.
The Anker SOLIX Solarbank 3 Pro used in the presented balcony power station sets can only feed a maximum of 800 watts into the household grid. Therefore, a 4000-watt system like the Okta Set no longer falls under the category of balcony power plant and involves more bureaucratic effort.
The optional mounts for the Okta Set from Kleines Kraftwerk are robust, high-quality, "Made in Germany" and cost 396 euros. These mounts are designed to ensure the system is securely installed and ready to harness the sun's power efficiently.
In conclusion, the Okta Set offers a powerful solar solution for those looking to maximize their solar output. While a 4000-watt system is fundamentally permitted, it's important to consider the additional bureaucratic effort and stricter technical/legal conditions associated with it. As always, it's recommended to consult with a professional to ensure compliance with local regulations.
- The Okta Set's high power output of 4000 watts places it in the 'XXL sets' category, requiring formal notification and registration under the Electricity Network Access Ordinance and the Renewable Energy Sources Act.
- Contrary to common balcony power plants, the science behind the Okta Set's 4000-watt solar power system leans more towards technology and finance, considering its higher cost and the additional bureaucratic effort involved.
