Recently, Germany's BMWK approved the Solarpaket I photovoltaic plan to accelerate the development of renewable energy and achieve climate environmental protection goals. The plan was launched in June last year. After layers of arguments, it was passed with an overwhelming majority of 384 votes in favor, 79 votes against and 200 abstentions. The new policy aims to simplify photovoltaic balcony systems, increase inverter power to 800W, and promote the use of distributed energy.
The Solarpaket I program reflects the government’s firm determination to promote the development of the balcony and DIY photovoltaic markets. The plan cancels the requirement that balcony photovoltaic systems must be equipped with a two-way electricity meter. The system can continue to use the original electricity meter, and the existing electricity meter is in an inverted state when power is supplied, which can reduce the electricity bill paid by the family, which also means that residents can benefit from it. More green benefits; at the same time, the new policy also requires that for some easy-to-enter data, there is no need to register with the grid operator before installing the balcony photovoltaic system, further simplifying the system installation process. In addition, the system installed capacity is limited to 2kW, and the inverter power limit is increased to 800W, which also shows that higher output power inverters can be put into the system to increase photovoltaic power generation.
The balcony photovoltaic system is very convenient. You only need to connect the AC cable plug to the household socket to achieve grid-connected power generation. This move will make the system easier to connect to the grid. In addition, the German Electrical Engineers Association VDE introduced simplified rules at the beginning of the year, raising the inverter power limit to 800W to promote technical standards and development.
The Solarpaket I plan has unleashed market demand for balcony photovoltaics and provided a wider application space for micro-inverters. Aeon Technology launched the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth dual communication mode micro-inverter EZ1 solution last year to adapt to the Solarpaket I policy requirements. This product has the advantages of plug-and-play, easy installation, and convenient grid connection. It is a high-quality choice for balcony photovoltaic systems.
As the German government further simplifies the rules for balcony photovoltaic systems, the demand for balcony photovoltaic installations will increase significantly, and the market will usher in more opportunities, helping the photovoltaic industry to flourish.
