In this guide, you will learn exactly how balcony solar panel installation works, what you should pay attention to, and what kind of energy production you can expect.

The installation process is designed for speed, simplicity and safety. No technical knowledge or previous installation experience is required.

Installing balcony solar panels in 3 simple steps

Step 1: Mount the solar panels on your balcony

Attach the balcony solar panels securely to the balcony railing or another stable structure.

How to mount them:

• Use the integrated mounting eyelets on the panels.
• Secure the panels using the included stainless steel cable ties.
• Check that the panels are firmly attached and cannot move in strong wind.

Placement tips for balcony solar panels:

• Orientation: ideally south-facing (south-east or south-west also work well).
• Avoid shade from buildings, trees or upper balconies.
• Ensure light ventilation behind the panel to prevent overheating.

Correct placement helps maximise the efficiency of your balcony solar system.

Step 2: Connect the solar panels to the micro-inverter

The solar panels for balcony use are connected to the micro-inverter using MC4 connectors. The inverter converts the generated direct current (DC) into usable alternating current (AC) for your home.

Included in the box:

• 2 × 110 W solar panels
• 1 × micro-inverter
• 1 × AC cable
• 1 × MC4 extension cable
• 16 × stainless steel cable ties

Connection steps:

• Click the MC4 connectors from both panels into the inverter.
• Connect the AC cable to the inverter.
• Check that all connections are secure and properly attached.

The micro-inverter is IP67 waterproof, making it suitable for outdoor use on balconies, terraces or façades.

Step 3: Plug & Play – connect the system to a socket

Plug the system into a grounded electrical socket.

As soon as you do this:

• The inverter synchronises with the electricity grid.
• The generated electricity is fed directly into your home.
• Your household appliances will use your own solar power first.

This is how simple balcony solar panel installation has become today.
