FAQ
Do Germany and Austria regulate the size of solar panels?
In Germany there are only regulations regarding the size of solar panels on roofs. A solar panel may not be larger than 2m². There are no size restrictions for other installation locations.
How does solar energy vary depending on the season?
Electricity production is influenced by the intensity and duration of sunlight and temperature. Solar panels produce the most energy in summer, spring or fall and less in winter. To achieve higher efficiency, we recommend using 2 solar modules to achieve a total output of more than 800W. This allows other factors such as less than ideal sunlight or temperature to be compensated to a certain extent.
