Plug & play solar sales soar

Updated: Jul 30

Plug and play solar fills traditional gap


The rapid rise of plug & play solar panels is transforming the renewable energy landscape, particularly in urban settings where roof solar is not an option. Known as plug-in solar panels or balcony solar, these systems offer a simple, user-friendly approach to harnessing solar power for households typically excluded from the energy transition, like renters or households living in apartments.


  • Balcony solar sales surged by 270% in 2023 (Germany)

  • Over 50,000 new installations registered in Q1 2024 (Germany)

  • A 300% rise in sales for the first semester of 2024 (The Netherlands)


Such impressive figures underscore a growing trend: households are increasingly seeking sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions that are easy to install and manage. Plug-in solar panels fit this bill perfectly, allowing users to set up a basic solar system without the need for professional installation or certification.


Plug & play solar + plug-in home batteries = maximum cost-saving


As the popularity of plug & play solar systems rises, so does the interest in plug & play home batteries like ModuleOne. These home batteries complement solar panels by storing excess energy generated during the day for use during the evening peak or or during power outages, enhancing energy independence and reliability.


Hand in hand


The synergy between plug & play solar panels and home batteries represents a significant step forward in making renewable energy accessible to everyone, promoting a greener, more self-sufficient future, while allowing households to reduce their electricity bills.


This plug-and-play revolution is all about empowering households, giving them control over their energy usage and allowing them to reduce their power bills.
