Frequently Asked Questions

Is self-installation possible with the 800W solar panel kit?
Absolutely, self-installation of an 800W solar panel kit is generally possible as it doesn't require an electrician. The systems are designed to be plugged directly into a standard outlet, with an inverter ensuring that the generated electricity is suitable for household use. However, you will need basic tools to carry out the installation effectively.
How should I position my 800W solar panel kit for optimal performance, and does the position depend on the location?
Yes, the position depends on the location. In the northern hemisphere (Europe), your solar panels should face south to maximize solar radiation. Near the equator, the tilt angle should be close to the latitude of the location, and the panels can face north or south. In the southern hemisphere, a northward orientation is usually optimal. Also consider factors such as local weather conditions, shading, and regulations.
If my balcony faces north, will the solar panel kit not generate any electricity?
A north-facing balcony in the northern hemisphere is not optimal for capturing sunlight, but that doesn't mean no electricity will be generated. Solar panels can still produce power, albeit less efficiently than with a southern orientation.
What is the difference between the Schuko plug and the RST plug?
The Schuko plug (protective contact) is a Type F plug commonly found in Germany, Austria, and other European countries. The RST plug is a special type of plug used in some photovoltaic systems.
How are solar panels attached to balconies or roofs?
The attachment method for solar panels depends on the type of surface. For balconies, there are special brackets, and for roofs, there are roof mounting kits that ensure secure attachment.
What happens when the weather is bad and it rains or snows?
Even in bad weather, solar panels generate electricity, although less than on sunny days. In case of snow, it may be necessary to clean the panels to ensure energy generation.
Can the solar panel kit be damaged by lightning?
A direct lightning strike is rare but possible. Lightning protection measures and surge protection can help minimize the risk.
How do I clean my solar panel kit?
Use water and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent damage.
Is there a simplified approval process for installing an 800W solar panel kit?
Yes, usually only a simple notification via a form is necessary, instead of complicated approvals.
Is the registration of an 800W solar package mandatory?
Yes, registering a balcony power plant is required by law, and non-registration can lead to penalties.
What shipping costs apply?
Shipping costs are automatically calculated during the ordering process. Shipping is free for orders over €500.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept direct bank transfer, PayPal, credit card, Klarna, advance payment, ApplePay, SEPA direct debit, and instant transfer.
What is the main function of an 800W solar panel kit?
The 800W solar panel kit converts sunlight into electricity and provides a renewable energy solution for households.
What role does the inverter play in the 800W solar panel kit?
The inverter converts the generated direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC), which is usable for household appliances.
How much electricity can I expect annually with an 800W solar panel kit?
The expected electricity generation is about 800 kWh per year, but can be influenced by various factors.
Is excess energy fed into the public grid compensated?
In most cases not, but some providers like Voltino offer compensation for fed-in electricity.
Can I track electricity production via the app?
Yes, our inverters can be connected to Wi-Fi and monitored via a special app.
Are there funding opportunities for installing a photovoltaic system?
Yes, in Austria and Germany there are subsidies and grants for PV systems. Please see our website for more information.
