Balcony Power Station: Secure, Adaptable, and Lightweight - Equivalent to a Sack of Potatoes in Weight
The solar power market is evolving, and small-scale solutions are gaining popularity, particularly for urban areas and limited spaces. One such innovation is the Flexi-Modules from Small Power Plant and Kleines Kraftwerk, designed specifically for small balconies, facades, and mobile deployments like campers and motorhomes.
### Benefits and Features of Lightweight, Compact Solar Power Plants like Flexi-Modules
These modules are designed to be lightweight and compact, making them ideal for deployment on small balconies or for mobile use. This enables city dwellers or renters to install solar power solutions without requiring large roof spaces or heavy structural supports.
The compact design allows for effective use of limited spaces, allowing maximum power generation within small footprints, an essential feature for urban living environments or on-the-go power needs. Flexi-Modules can be scaled or combined depending on the power demand, enabling users to start small and expand their solar capacity progressively. This flexibility suits both fixed installations on balconies and variable configurations on vehicles or temporary sites.
Leveraging advanced power electronics and compact designs, these systems achieve high power density and efficiency at low voltages and power levels, suitable for residential or mobile use. Such modules often come equipped or are compatible with intelligent power management modules and battery storage systems for reliable, uninterrupted power supply, even when sunlight is unavailable.
By utilizing efficient power electronics and reducing power losses, compact solar modules contribute substantially to lowering carbon footprints and electricity bills, aligning with global sustainability goals.
### Suitability for Mobile Deployments and Small Balconies
The Flexi-Modules are designed with lightweight components and potentially foldable or flexible solar panels for easy handling and transport. They may feature plug-and-play capabilities for quick setup and takedown, perfect for temporary use on camping trips, vans, or small terraces. The modules are robust enough to withstand variable conditions, while being compliant with mechanical and electrical safety standards.
### Key Features of Flexi-Modules
- Lightweight and compact design for easy deployment on small balconies or mobile platforms - Scalable and flexible, tailorable to power needs and expandable over time - High power density and efficiency, harvesting more energy and reducing wastage - Compatibility with battery storage and smart controllers for reliable, uninterrupted power supply - Environmentally friendly, reducing CO2 emissions and energy costs
### Pricing and Availability
The starter set from Small Power Plant includes 2 flexible modules, a 400-watt Hoymiles inverter with WLAN function, and a connection cable, with shipping being free. Each additional battery for the storage set costs 500 Euro. The 1800W variant of the Flexi-Modules from Kleines Kraftwerk costs just 120 euros per module when opting for a larger set.
The legal framework in Germany supports the installation of plug-and-play solar systems up to 800 watts, as provided in the Solar Package 1.
The Flexi-Modules generate up to 30 percent more yield than conventional modules on cloudy days, thanks to the innovative TOPCon technology developed by the Fraunhofer ISE. They have a thickness of 0.3 cm and a weight of 4.5 kg, making them easy to install without help or tools.
In conclusion, the Flexi-Modules from Small Power Plant and Kleines Kraftwerk offer a versatile, efficient, and space-saving solution tailored for small-scale solar generation in constrained urban environments or on the move. Their lightweight and compact design support easy deployment on balconies and mobile platforms, empowering users with clean energy without needing large installations or complex infrastructure.
