Solar panels
1 or 2 panels, how much power do I need?
As a rule of thumb, in Southern Europe households of 1-2 people should be fine with 1 Performance panel, while for homes with 2-3 people probably need 2 panels. If you have many appliances connected, as well as your water boiler or air conditioning, 2 panels are recommended.

Mounts
What mount is right for me?
In Europe, solar panels work best if positioned at a 30-35 degree angle. While that happens to be the case on many pitched roofs, it's hard to achieve on a balcony or wall installation.
An horizontal (basic mount) installation's production in summer will be almost 3x than in winter, while in vertical mount (90º) in winter you will produce almost 3x as much as in summer. At a 60 degree angle production is almost equal among the months.
The mount included in your kit is made of aluminum, extremely sturdy and weather resistant.
Mount 20º
To fix it solidly to the ground, you can add some concrete plates (not included) on top of the rubber plates included in the kit. 20° tilt angle for maximum performance.
Mount 60º
You can opt for the clamps used to fix it to your balcony railing which can withhold up to 300 kg of weight each or a custom designed structure for installation of solar panels on walls, each of them providing 60º tilt angle.
Mount 90º
You can opt for the clamps used to fix it to your balcony railing which can withhold up to 300 kg of weight each or a custom designed structure for installation of solar panels on walls, each of them providing 90º tilt angle
Microinverter
What inverter is right for me?
Our micro inverters are paired based on your solar kit selection. So if you buy 1 panel, your kit will come with the 400W inverter. While if you buy 2 panels, the kit will have an 800W micro inverter.

Frequently Asked Questions
In short: much easier than you might think.
A plug & play solar kit generates energy from the sun with its solar panels. The panels’ AC power is converted into DC power used in your household by the kit’s micro inverter.
A special cable connects the micro inverter to a normal Schuko plug in your home, feeding your kit’s power into your household’s power circuit.
That circuit is like a system of canals. At different points there are devices that consume energy. The sum of that energy consumption is what at the end of the canal is fed from your power company into your household. Your power meter counts how much that power is at any time.
If you now connect a Plug & Play Solar Kit to your canal, that kit immits power into that network. The connected devices use that power first. If you have several power circuits at home, these all meet at the distribution panel, that is in turn connected to your power meter and the grid. If there is excess power in the circuit your kit is connected to, it will spill over first to your other circuits that are demanding energy.
Check out our explanation video on how this circuit works.
In short: south facing, with a 30 degrees inclination.Plug & play solar kits generate electricity by exposing solar panels to solar radiation. The longer you expose the panel to direct sunshine, the more electricity it produces.The panel's orientation (or azimuth) also directly affects the amount of sun exposure the panel receives:
- A southern orientation will give you the longest sunshine exposure during
the day, making your kit produce the most amount of electricity. - An eastern orientation will generate power earlier in the mornings, but stop at lunchtime.
- A western orientation will not start until lunchtime, but will last until the end of the day.
Other factors influencing the amount of electricity your Plug & Play Solar Kit produces are:
The inclination (or slope) of the panels. In Europe a 30-35 degree inclination is generally best at capturing solar radiation.
An eternal temperature of 25 degrees Celsius is the ideal production temperature for solar panels, although the panels can operate even at extreme temperatures between -40 and +85 degrees Celsius, just producing less efficiently.
The amount of sunshine hours is also key. The presence of clouds or shade can reduce electricity production, but do not eliminate it. Even on a cloudy day your solar kit will produce for you.
In short: absolutely yes.
Your terrace might offer you a variety of options to install your plug & play solar kit. Select the location with the most sunshine exposure, no shade, and where an installation is safe. Customers with bigger terraces (like roof tops) generally prefer to use our Performance kits with a 20° mount, since these give the highest production levels, are very easy to set up (see video) and can be moved quickly if needed.
If you have a pergola on your terrace, you might want to use that structure to put panels on it, for example with a Basic Performance kit. If your pergola has no inclination, you can add one with our 20° mount and fix that to the pergola.
Your terrace railing might also be a good location to install a kit, although you should consider the safety aspect of hanging 20-25 kg solar panels on your railing. We don’t recommend that for railings higher than 4 meters and with pedestrian traffic under them. For these installations, our Light kits are the far better option.
You can also drill your kit to a wall, we have mount structures for this application as well.
