The latter, by the way, also fit in apartment balconies, as they are quite compact, easy to connect, and their power reaches up to 800 W.
“As solar and wind power plants become more popular, and the number of generating consumers increases, there are more and more opportunities for customers to have their own power plant, no matter where they live. It is not necessary to have a house with a solar power plant on the roof. From now on, it is possible to install a small, 400-800 W power plant, which does not require any contracts, and the connection is extremely fast – it is enough to plug it into an electrical outlet, just like any household appliance”, says ESO’s Public Relations Representative Rasa Juodkienė.
A balcony solar power plant or micro generator is a convenient solution for those households with an annual electricity consumption of up to 800 kWh or 70 kWh per month. These are mostly families of up to 2 persons living in apartment buildings or seasonal residents in gardens. ESO identifies about 600,000 such customers.
“After installing the balcony solar power plant, the customer simply informs us in a free form about the installed solar power plant. ESO will take care of all the remaining works – from the preparation of the boundary deed to the replacement or reprogramming of the distance meter. It is important to emphasize that the customer needs to inform ESO in order to have the meter replaced or reprogrammed, otherwise the produced electricity can be registered as consumption”, adds R. Juodkienė.
In most cases, the amount of electricity generated by a mobile solar power plant will be consumed immediately by other customer devices – a refrigerator, an Internet modem, various chargers, sleeping devices, etc. And on sunny days and in case of excess generation, the generated electricity will be fed into the grid for later recovery. The process of connecting these power plants to the grid is extremely simple due to the small power of the power plant and the small amount of electricity supplied to the grid. This makes these power plants particularly relevant and attractive for small family farms.
These power plants are not only convenient due to simple installation and easy connection, but it is also estimated that they can pay for themselves in 3-5 years. Due to its compactness, power plants can be installed on a balcony, garden, summer house or elsewhere, which makes it a very convenient solution for customers living in apartment buildings. Customers can also apply to the Environmental Project Management Agency (APVA) for support in the installation of solar power plants.
During the installation of new power plants, 254.93 EUR per 1 kW of installed capacity is allocated in the currently valid invitations, so 203.94 EUR would be allocated for a 0.8 kW power plant.
More information about the currently valid calls for support can be found at APVA on the website.
