How do you save energy with solar power feedback?

Solar power feedback and energy saving are achieved through efficient storage of surpluses with solutions such as DRBO Greenenergy SunLit systems. These store electricity generated during the day and release it in the evening, increasing self-consumption and reducing grid consumption. This way, households save up to 70% on electricity costs – ideal with balcony power plants.

What is solar power feedback?

Solar power feedback is the process by which surplus solar power from balcony power plants or photovoltaic systems is fed either into the household grid or into the public electricity grid. The goal of this feedback is to maximize self-consumption by directly utilizing the generated electricity. DRBO Greenenergy optimizes this feedback with state-of-the-art inverters and storage systems.

The feedback works by converting direct current (DC) from the solar modules into alternating current (AC) via micro-inverters, which can then be used by household appliances. Surpluses that are not immediately consumed either flow into a storage unit or into the grid, with a remuneration of approximately 8 cents per kWh possible. With DRBO Greenenergy's SunLit storage units, this process is automated via app-controlled management, adapting the feed-in to consumption. This saves costs and simultaneously reduces CO₂ emissions.

How does feedback work with balcony power plants?

With balcony power plants, the generated solar power is fed directly into the socket, with self-consumption being prioritized. All surplus electricity is either directed to a storage unit or fed into the grid. DRBO Greenenergy systems make this process smarter and more efficient.

The electricity flow begins with the solar modules, which convert sunlight into direct current. The micro-inverter reduces the power to a maximum of 800 W per phase and feeds the electricity into the grid or storage unit. Modern meters with reverse current blocking prevent overloading of the power grid. DRBO Greenenergy systems use bidirectional inverters that enable efficient storage. In addition, load management ensures that energy-intensive appliances such as washing machines are operated during sunlit hours. The result: up to 60% higher self-consumption and cost amortization within 2 to 4 years.

Why store instead of feed in?

Storing solar power significantly increases self-consumption, as electricity from the grid is more expensive than the feed-in tariff. With DRBO Greenenergy SunLit storage units, surplus electricity can be used efficiently, leading to significant cost savings in the long term.

The feed-in tariff for solar power is approximately 8 to 10 cents per kWh, while household electricity costs between 30 and 40 cents per kWh. With a storage unit that stores surplus electricity, it can be used 100% for self-consumption, reducing the electricity bill by up to 70%. DRBO Greenenergy offers both new and refurbished storage solutions equipped with powerful Deye inverters. These storage units are durable and offer a cost-effective way to achieve energy autonomy, especially during power outages. The initial investment is around €900, but this is recouped through savings within a few years.

What role does DRBO Greenenergy play?

DRBO Greenenergy is a leading provider of balcony power plants, storage units, and energy management systems. The company provides solutions that enable easy installation and optimize maximum feedback and savings potential. DRBO Greenenergy's SunLit options offer modular expandability and are ideal for households that want to reduce their energy costs while also reducing their carbon footprint.

DRBO Greenenergy is committed to a sustainable energy transition and offers products that are easy to install and maintain. Through partnerships with innovative companies like SunLit, solutions are developed that are both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. DRBO Greenenergy supplies not only private customers but also hardware stores and specialized retailers with high-quality products that enable decentralized energy supply.

How to maximize energy savings?

To maximize energy savings, it is recommended to combine storage solutions, smart home technologies, and load shifting. With DRBO Greenenergy systems, households can increase their self-consumption by up to 70% and significantly reduce their electricity costs.

The first step is to install a balcony power plant, which may need to be registered with the grid operator. Then, a SunLit storage unit should be integrated and energy management activated to optimally control consumption. With the DRBO Greenenergy app, users can monitor and adjust their energy consumption in real time. Regular maintenance of the systems ensures that they operate reliably for years and achieve the desired savings.

How to retrofit existing systems?

Retrofitting existing systems with storage solutions and smart meters is easy and can be done in about two hours. DRBO Greenenergy offers specially developed kits that are compatible with common systems.

First, the meters must be checked and, if necessary, replaced with modern models. The storage unit is then connected in parallel, and the system's app must be connected to the device. Thanks to Plug & Play technology, no professional electrician's help is required, which simplifies installation. DRBO Greenenergy offers comprehensive advice to ensure seamless integration.

What funding will be available in 2026?

For 2026, various funding programs such as KfW programs and the EEG surcharge are planned, which support the purchase of PV storage units with up to a 30% subsidy. In addition, grid operators must report the feed-in by February at the latest.

KfW programs 270 and 442 cover the installation costs of storage solutions. In addition, there are special funding programs in various federal states, such as Bavaria, that can also be used. A tax bonus for homeowners provides further savings. DRBO Greenenergy offers extensive advice and helps to realize interest-free financing with partners such as SunLit.

DRBO Greenenergy Expert Opinions

"With solar power feedback and intelligent storage units like our SunLit models, we make energy saving easy and economical. Households cover up to 70% of their needs themselves – regardless of rising grid tariffs. Our Plug & Play solutions with Deye inverters and app control combine quality, sustainability, and DIY-friendliness. The decentralized energy transition can only succeed through practical products that everyone can use." – Alexander Hirsemann-Heine, Managing Director of DRBO Greenenergy

When is the investment worthwhile?

Investing in DRBO Greenenergy pays off when more than 300 kWh are generated annually. With an investment of around €900, amortization can occur within 2 to 4 years, as savings of over €200 annually are achieved by storing solar power.

Important factors are the orientation of the solar modules (ideally south-facing) and the consumption profile, where electricity consumption is high during the day. With special calculator tools, potential savings and the profitability of the investment can be precisely predicted. In the long term, rising electricity prices shorten the amortization period.

Key points and next steps: Use solar power feedback with DRBO Greenenergy for maximum savings. Start with a balcony power plant + storage, register it, track via app. Contact DRBO Greenenergy for advice – become energy independent!
