Testing small power plant XL Duo

With its two completely black 500 watts of solar panels, XL duo balcony power plant from Klein Craftwork is average powerful and above chic. In the test we show why, apart from technology and alternative memory, brackets also explain to us.

Solar panels in standard size, which are currently supplied with most balcony power plants (or plug -in solar equipment), provide between 400 and 450 WP in ideal conditions.

To increase the self -conference rate, intermediate storage in a battery is ideal. We tested the set with alternatively available memory Anker Solarbank 2 E1600 AC. In the test we show how the XL pair of small power plant 489 Euro Regarding assembly, demonstrations and quality of components.

The provider of small power plant offers separate balcony power plants in different configurations. One to four panels are available in two performance classes including WLAN inverters and brackets for garden, roof or balcony. The best bracket for balcony power plant in this article. If you also order alternative memory from the anchor, you do not need an additional inverter, here the panels are directly connected to the memory.

The set XL pair consists of two bisected solar panels with 500 WP each. These include a completely dark photovoltaic region and a black aluminum frame. The dark design looks very high quality and modern, which we like. Classic MC4 connections are installed behind panels. In brackets, we chose garden and flat roof model. The height made of 5 mm thick aluminum at an angle of 20 degrees is very stable, but should be screwed simultaneously with the first three individual parts.

The scope of delivery includes detailed instructions and anchor Solix anchor Solarbank 2 E1600 AC, including extension cables for two panels and connection cables for shoko sockets. The integrated inverter in alternatively available batteries replaces HMS-800W-2T HOMS-800W-2t, which is otherwise contained in the set.

A few days after ordering the bundle comes with us and a telephone arrangement of delivery date is done through the freight forward. The one who immediately attacks is immediately complex transport protection in the form of a converted wooden palette. Depending on the set order, four honest panels and accessories are placed and are still well preserved.

The real balcony power plant (panel and inverter) is guaranteed by 25 -year. The anchor’s memory is a 10 -year product guarantee.

The composition of XL duo balcony power plant is simple, but we recommend some help due to simple handling. Equipment is also necessary in the form of wrench and inguinals.

The panels and boxes are first removed from the palette with accessories and memory. We only remove transportation security at the corners of PV module at the very end. Now two changes for panels have deteriorated simultaneously. Adding eight individual parts works without any problem, but it is a cost of more time than expected. Without a accessory, we require about 20 minutes per panel until everything is spoiled and followed.

As soon as the panels are installed on the flat roof, in the garden or in our case, the height should still be weighed with concrete slabs or sandbags. Compared to other panel brackets, the huge angles of the small power plant leave a very stable impression without an additional weight. Unlike cheap rebellion, there is nothing here and the material also faces high forces.

Now follows the inverter, which is integrated in anchor Solarbank 2 E1600 AC. Since the MC4 connectors of the solar module were ignored, the extension cables contained in the set are used here. Depending on the placement, you need more expansion in terms of doubt. As the solar modules are infected, the vesel cable in the outer socket is still missing and the system is theoretically prepared for use.

Theoretically, two panels with at least 400 Wp also produce adequate performance for 800 watt inverter-in exercises, maximum value rarely and for less time. If the sun is not in the ideal angle or if the sky is cloud, the performance remains below the possible feed -in range. To compete, you can increase the number of PV modules-but then spend space and money. The 500-Wp panels from the small power plant provide a certain display buffer as large and expanders as large XL panels with approximately 600 WP.

In very good conditions, BKW often generates more power during the day than you are used. If you do not want to remove additional service, save the additional performance in a battery and call it if necessary – otherwise everything will go free for more than 800 watts. This is the place where the anchor comes from the alternative memory game, which we were also able to test. The top 10 shows the best battery from previous tests: the best memory for a balcony power plant.

Before it actually starts, the system must be configured first. This requires an account with anchor app and manufacturer on the smartphone, whose equipment is free. After the coupling with registration and memory, the house follows the connection with Wlan. It takes a few minutes after the setup and the performance data ends on the smartphone display. In sets without memory, the S-Miles app from Hoymiles will be used instead of anchor app. Here, also, performance data can be read comfortably and firmly.

The inverter app also shows where the energy flows. Where the user is defined when the user is defined. The easiest way is to fix a certain feed -in according to a certain schedule. Dynamic, requirements -Awarded feed -in is much better and more efficient. Then the battery only feeds the performance that actually requires. To ensure that it works, current consumption is measured by Wlan socket or by smart meter and passed on memory. The Wlan socket (top 10: best Wlan socket) is installed and cheaply easy, but they measure only one socket consumption. On the other hand, a smart meter installed in the fuse box captures the total consumption in the house. In the article, balcony power plant with more zero feed -up on this: Never give electricity again.

The owners of the PV system already know that the specified maximum performance values ​​are obtained, but are very rare in everyday life. Experiences have shown that our garden, shaded from noon, is much lower than better placements with more hours of sunlight. In addition to an adverse angle of shading and installation, the weather does not play together often. In the months of November to February, the sun in Germany may be unfortunate barely Look Overall, the carports come to the maximum yield of approximately 3 kwh in the late February, under good conditions, which had dominated from noon only afternoon. On bad days, the system makes quite low despite only 1000 WP. The yield will certainly be more in the summer months, but should have a realistic annual value with a decent location of about 2.7 kwh per day per day. Each year, with a current price of 40 cents per kwh, about 395 euros per year will come together. It will be paid the current procurement price only after one and a half years – if the weather plays with.

The XL pair tested with two panels (1000 WP) and currently upset for the cost of garden and flat roof 489 EuroIn set with anchor memory, cost of bundle 1279 Euro,

Alternatively, the provider provides sets with only one, similar with three or four panels. If you are also satisfied with low performance, you can also get bundles with panels with only 450 WP.

Balkan power plant XL Duo leaves all positive overall effect from small power plant. In addition to the overall high -gradient components, stable rebellion, safe and detailed packaging and performance of solar panels.

If you want to get maximum from maximum solar module, you will be given very well with 500 watt panels and storage. Currently there is only more power with XL modules.

The only time requires when installing the approach is slightly larger than the standard model – but it is completely fine in relation to stable construction.
