Balcony solar systems’ functions seems to power small homes and individual users. Avcon Solar explains that with 1-2 solar panels (300-400W each), a typical Estonian balcony solar system can generate 1.2-2 kWh daily with ample sunlight. Assuming the typical daily device usage doesn’t exceed 2 kWh, a solar system could sustain usage of a 60W LED light for 20 hours, a 300W laptop for 4-6 hours, and even a 1500W electric kettle for 1 hour. Under these conditions, loading high-power appliances like electric heaters or air conditioners would not even be a problem. The solar system proves useful in relieving grid electricity dependence.
With abundant sun and high temperatures (southern China or regions with >6 daily), the system operates around maximum potential. The factors that would subside these optimal conditions are sunlight intensity, duration, range, and the angle of the solar panels.
For instance, during summer, a balcony solar system has the capability of generating 2 to 2.5 kWh per day, whereas in winter, due to less sunlight and shorter daylight hours, this number reduces to 0.8-1.2 kWh. To enhance generation, Avcon Solar suggests a 30-45 degree angle for the panels and advises no shading from obstruction (like buildings, trees, and other structures)—this allows the system to capture maximum solar energy.
The addition of a battery for energy storage to a balcony solar system enhances its functionality and capability to cater for more daily use, even during periods without sunlight. Avcon Solar has a 2-5 kWh battery that is ideal for the system, as it captures excess electricity produced during the day to power the system at night or during cloudy days. For example, the system produces 1.5 kWh during daytime hours, and in turn, the battery aids in operating lights, phones, and other small appliances at night. With no energy storage, the system is limited to providing electricity in real-time (during the day) which restricts its practicality.
Having storage makes balcony solar systems more versatile – they can also assist in achieving complete energy needs during the day, which makes covering the daily power needs a lot easier especially for the users who rely on electricity during the night more.
Storage helps balcony solar systems become more versatile in terms of given the users energy requirements of the power. Avcon Solar says that on average, most flats and homes with balconies can fit 1-2 panels that are the size of standard solar panels (1.6m x 1m each). High-efficiency panels with higher than 22% conversion rates should always be used to maximize power output from solar systems due to space constraints. For example, high-efficiency solar panels produce 10 to 15 percent more electricity than their 400w counterparts. If the balcony is large enough to install 2 high-efficiency solar panels, daily output can reach 2.5 to 3 kWh.
Having these depends on their appliances, which can include a small refrigerator or a 500w rice cooker. This makes the panels a valuable choice especially for users with small balconies.
Some users belong to a certain category and for those the balcony solar systems are the most ideal, and used these systems ensure that energy is provided each day.
Avcon Solar divides customers into three groups. 1. Single-person households or couples with a few high-power devices centered around small gadgets (phones, laptops, lights). 2. Renters with no space for large rooftop solar systems due to other constraints, but are keen to cut down on grid electricity. 3. People living in high-rise apartment buildings with no solar rooftop access (very typical in cities). For instance, a single renter can install a balcony solar system to power a few devices, saving 30-50% of her monthly grid electricity bill. These segments have relatively lower daily power needs, so balcony solar systems outputs are a good fit for their needs.
Avcon Solar provides balcony solar systems connected to smart batteries to guarantee daily electricity access. First, their responsive customization in design is remarkable. Based on the user’s balcony size, sunlight, and power needs, they suggest the number and type of panels (i.e. small spaces, high-efficiency monocrystalline panels). Second, through smart monitoring, users can digitally manage their power consumption. They can adjust the use of devices to encourage optimal power use (e.g. high-power devices can be used when supply is plenty). Finally, their after-sales service is second to none. Regular checking of the panels and batteries ensures the systems are above 90% efficient over their lifetime of 15 years.
With these solutions, Avcon Solar ensures users can maximize the system's output, achieving total daily energy requirements without fail.
