Question 1

Is the current power limit in Germany for balcony solar power systems 600W or 800W?

Accepted Answer

The current feed-in limit for balcony solar power systems in Germany is 600W. This refers to the electricity fed into the grid by the microinverter, not the maximum power of solar panels.

Question 2

Do Anker SOLIX products comply with existing regulations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Anker SOLIX Balcony Solar Power System at outputs of 820W, 910W, or 1080W is compliant. The regulation refers to the feed-in limit to the grid. Also, our microinverter is throttled with software to not rise above 600W until the law changes.

Question 3

What happens when the German government raises the wattage limit to 800W?

Accepted Answer

When Germany passes the law, Anker SOLIX MI80 users don't need to purchase a new microinverter. It will upgrade automatically to feed 800W into the grid. To update, just connect to Wi-Fi. No action is required on your part.

Question 4

Why are solar power wattages different from microinverter wattages?

Accepted Answer

Due to factors such as location and weather, solar panels are not capable of generating power at maximum capacity. In addition, there is some loss when electricity is fed into the grid through the microinverter.

Question 5

Can my home support Anker SOLIX Solar Balcony?

Accepted Answer

As long as your home has enough sun exposure and space, you can install the system. Before purchasing, check the latest local regulations and your energy supplier regarding restrictions on solar balcony systems.

Question 6

What happens to electricity my home doesn't use?

Accepted Answer

Excess electricity that's not stored goes back into the grid. Your local utility will not compensate you for this, and your meter will not go backwards. Contact your utility for more information.

Question 7

What is the power of the MI80 micro inverter?

Accepted Answer

On its first use, the max output of the micro inverter is 600W. Configure the network and restart the micro inverter. The system will auto-upgrade to 800W.
Note: Upgrading in Germany will begin once the local law changes, expected in a few months.

Question 8

How does Anker SOLIX Solar Balcony handle severe weather?

Accepted Answer

Solar Balcony is built with weather-resistant material like a glass top, carbon steel base, and cast iron micro inverter. However, if a thunderstorm, hail storm, or wind storm occurs, please temporarily move the Solar Balcony inside.

Question 11

What are the advantages of the 410W panel compared to the 415W version?

Accepted Answer

From a power generation standpoint, the 5W difference has almost no impact.*
The 410W PV panels feature an all-black design for a sophisticated look that matches your home exterior.
&nbsp;
*Under laboratory conditions, the 5W different amounts to less than &euro;6 in savings on electricity bills.

Question 12

Is the 410W panel the same size as the 415W panel?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both panels are the same size.

Question 13

Can I connect a 415W and 410W panel to the same micro inverter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, two solar panels with different power outputs can be connected to the same micro inverter. Note, an MI80 cannot support more than two solar panels.

Question 14

Can I connect a 415W/410W/445W panel and a 540W panel to the same micro inverter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, two solar panels with different power outputs can be connected to the same micro inverter. Note, an MI80 cannot support more than two solar panels.

Question 15

Can I install the 540W panels on the roof?

Accepted Answer

If you have a flat roof, you can install the solar panels there. Please follow installation instructions.
Anker solar panels are not designed to be installed on pitched roofs.

Question 16

For a two-panel system, how large should my balcony or garden be?

Accepted Answer

For one 410W or 415W panel, you'll need 1.95m&sup2; of space. For two panels, you'll need 3.9m&sup2;.
For one 540W panel, you'll need 2.58m&sup2; of space. For two panels, you'll need 5.16m&sup2;.

Question 17

Do Germany and Austria regulate the size of solar panels?

Accepted Answer

Germany only regulates the size of solar panels on rooftops. One solar panel must be less than 2m&sup2;. Other installation locations have no size limitations.
