Balcon power plants are booming: Beuel starts training for solar scouts!
balcony power plants, an innovative form of electricity generation for private households, are becoming increasingly important. These small plug solar devices enable owners to generate their own electricity and thus make a contribution to the energy transition. But many people face the challenge of how to start installation. Questions about location, permission and technology are frequent uncertainty factors. In order to do justice to this, the first training of "balcony scouts" on the initiative of the Vilich-Müldorf citizens' association starts in the Beuel Mitte climate. These scouts offer free, on-site advice and support in the implementation of balcony power plants, reports the city of Bonn at bonn.de .
The first online information event for interested Bonners will take place on February 17, 2025 at 8 p.m. Interested parties can register for the participation via the website of the citizens' association. During this event, the tasks of the balcony scouts are presented, carry out visits to interested parties at home and offer support in searching for location and technical questions. Advice for owners of balcony power plants usually lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.
tasks of the balcony scouts
- Visits to interested parties at home.
- Support for the location search for the solar system.
- Advice on the selection of the right technology.
- Information on regulations and financial subsidies.
- Support for assembly questions.
The training for the balcony scouts is planned for spring 2025 and will take place on two afternoons. No previous knowledge is required; All necessary skills are conveyed during the training. After completing the training, the balcony scouts receive support in their first consultations. The initiative is part of the Bonn Klimplan 2035, which was decided by the city council in March 2023. Recommendations from the participation procedure "Bonn4future - We for the Climate" flowed into the conception of the Klimviertel.
regulated connections and increasing numbers
plug -in solar devices are subject to certain technical and regulatory requirements. The electricity generation plants must be registered in the Federal Network Agency's market master data register. Simplified connection and reporting requirements are available for balcony systems. The connection can be made either (without a connector) or via a special energy plug device. The requirements according to DIN VDE-Standards must be taken into account.
Current data show a remarkable increase in the installed plug -in solar devices. According to information from Energy Zukunft , a total of 345,267 balcony power plants were installed in the period from January 01, 2024, which compared to the previous year an increase of 51.49 corresponds. The net performance of all systems rose from 133,827 kW in 2023 to 240,459 kW in 2024, which corresponds to an increase of around 80 percent. This development reflects the growing interest and the potential for balcony power plants.
The managing director of Solakon, Julian Böer, sees enormous potential for the use of balcony power plants through technological progress until 2030. This is supported by the solar package I, which enables simplified registration of the systems. With the new set of rules, no registration with the network operator is no longer required, and the old electricity meter runs backwards when excess electricity is fed up.
The Federal Government also plans to promote energy sharing, an EU directive for the common use of generated energy. However, there are criticism of the previous designs among the associations, which are considered too reserved. The increasing numbers and the associated demand for sustainable energy generation clearly show that the redesign of the electricity market is necessary to exploit the full potential of renewable energies.
