Offgridtec® Solar-Direct 820w hm-800 Balcony Power Station Schuko Socket - 5m - Without Bracket

The complete balcony power plant systems from Offgridtec (mpn 016030) are an ideal way to produce a portion of your required household electricity yourself and significantly reduce your overall expenditure on electricity. In addition to two 430w bifacial solar modules and a matching micro inverter, the systems contain everything you need to connect to the household power grid and, if required, to mount them on the balcony railing or roof. The set is designed for mounting the modules side by side. Our support team will be happy to provide you with advice and assistance for individual module installation options.

How does a balcony power station work?

The Offgridtec balcony power station is a compact Solaranlage. It consists of a solar module and the matching Hoymiles micro inverter for feeding into the household power grid. Ideally, the inverter is attached directly to the substructure of the solar module and connected to the solar module using the solar plug connector. the ac cable is connected via the inverter's Betteri connection and routed directly to the appropriate socket. Here you can choose between connection to the standard Schuko socket or to a Wieland feed-in socket, which is included in the scope of delivery when selected.
No special settings are required to use the solar power generated in the domestic power grid. If electricity is already available from local sources, the appliances in the household use this first and then supplement with mains power as required.

• 2x Luxen Solar 430w Mono Bifacial Solar Module Full Black Luxneri Series n5
• 1x Hoymiles hms-800w-2t micro inverter

Half-cell technology

In half-cell technology ("half-cut"), conventional silicon cells are cut in half using a laser. The resulting halves are then centrally connected in parallel, which leads to an increased output of the solar module by reducing resistance losses.

Bifacial cells

Bifacial modules offer a decisive advantage thanks to their transparent backs and special cell technology - they also use the reflected light. This leads to a significantly increased energy yield and makes these modules a particularly efficient choice for your solar system.

Hoymiles hms-800w-2t micro inverter with integrated WiFi

The hms-800w-2t (mpn: hms-800w-2t) fromHoymiles is the perfect micro inverter for a balcony power plant. In addition to the integrated WiFi module in Industry+ quality to be mentioned here, the compact lightweight (only 3.2kg) is ideal for solar power production with up to two solar panels with an output of 320 to 540+w each. Just like all other micro inverters from Hoymiles, it is suitable for long operating hours and wide PV module applications, as its starting voltage is very low (only 22v) and the DC input range of the operating voltage (16-60V) is extremely wide.

Features

• Integrated WiFi module
• Minimization of the effects of e.g. shading, dust or ageing by mppt
• High-quality energy generation with high mppt accuracy
• Optimum system reliability
• Peak efficiency of 96.7%
• 12-year product guarantee
• High level of safety thanks to integrated protective functions
• Simple installation
• Long service life
• Complies with vde-ar-n 4105: 2018, en 50549-1: 2019, vfr 2019, IEC/en 62109-1/-2, IEC/en 61000-6-1/-2/-3/-4, IEC/en 61000-3-2/-3

Two MPP trackers for optimum solar yields

Maximum Power Point Tracker technology is used to generate the best possible yield from a Solarasystem. The mppt determines the optimum ratio between irradiance, module temperature and solar cell type over the course of the day. Thanks to the two MPP trackers in the hms-800w-2t, the optimum operating point for the two PV strings can be optimized separately. The two trackers work independently of each other and so, for example, shading on one string would have no effect on the second.

Simple design

PV systems with Hoymiles microinverters are very easy to plan. You do not need to install cumbersome conventional inverters. Each microinverter can be quickly mounted on the PV mounting frame or directly under the PV module. The PV module is connected to the microinverter directly on site, eliminating the risk of people being exposed to dangerously high DC voltage.

Balcony power plants in Germany

There is currently no law or regulation in Germany governing the generation of solar power for purely domestic use. The maximum limit of 800w ac PV power is a reserve value which, according to the current VDE standard, can be fed into an existing socket circuit of a house without overloading it. Nothing is described for independent circuits without additional load.
Every electrical installation should be VDE-compliant. However, operating a balcony power station via the standard earthed socket is not prohibited. Registration with the Federal Network Agency is mandatory. However, there are no known cases of fines for non-registration of balcony power stations or insurmountable problems with network operators. Compliance with and implementation of standards and obligations is the responsibility of the system operator. A great deal of technical and legal information can already be found on relevant websites.
