Cheap balcony power plants are a hit in terms of price, but they are often of inferior quality. Does the Sun-Solar24 set keep what it promises?
The plan to finally produce solar power yourself has long been made – all that’s missing is the right and powerful balcony power plant? For anyone who has been hesitant, there is currently a promising offer on Ebay: The plug-in balcony power plant from Sun-Solar24 is equipped with four modules, each with 420 watts peak, and a Hoymiles microinverter. With a price of 629 euros, it is currently 17 percent reduced in price – but is the set actually worth it?
Ready-to-plug-in & throttleable balcony power plant at favorable conditions
The flexible balcony power plant from Sun-Solar24 is equipped with solid and high-quality components, such as the high-quality Hoymiles HMS-1600 microinverter, which can be throttled to both 800 and 600 watts in order to meet current standards. The four included solar modules produce a total output of 1,680 watts and, according to the manufacturer, have an efficiency of up to 21.5 percent. Sun-Solar24 promises good low-light performance, which should achieve sufficient performance even with less sunlight.
This is included in the set:
- Four solar modules JAM54S30-420/GR with 420 WP each
- Hoymiles microinverter HMS-1600, can be throttled to 800 or 600 watts

- Schuko plug with five meter long connection cable

Even though the balcony power plant set from Kleines Kraftwerk certainly promises better service in the background and achieves more performance overall, the offer from Sun-Solar24 is not to be despised and offers those interested a cheap deal with a good price-performance ratio. Shipping is even free on Ebay. However, this set does not include any brackets; these must be purchased separately.
