Balcony power plants at Ikea – furniture giant heats the solar trend

Germany becomes the country of solar operators. The furnishing giant Ikea now also offers balcony power plants. Ikea does not reinvent the bike: the company Ecofoflow sells the company via the SVEA Solar platform, even under its own name, without reducing the systems to “Ikea”. The furniture store only contributes its name and market power – and Ikea is an enormously powerful sales channel. Who has long sold “large” solar systems and wall boxes.

However, the balcony power plants are not particularly simple or cheap systems. Ikea has not chosen the way of the “Volks” balcony. Ecoflow is a worldwide pioneer in the field of flexible and modular storage and photovoltaic solutions and is one of the most innovative companies in this segment. Ecoflow has successfully established itself in a certain segment: The company offers systems that are located between simple solutions for camping and large, permanently installed solar systems. The stream series can also be easily installed by the DIY without structural measures.

In short, it combines the feed -in of solar energy with a modular current storage system and intelligent consumption recording. Additional batteries even make it possible to bypass the statutory limitation of 800 watts and supply devices with a current consumption of up to 2400 watts with their own solar power.

For Ecoflow, hobbyists are also aimed at tech -savvy hobbyists, which explore the technology and the legal limits to the utmost. However, the stream system can also install a technically inexperienced user and leave the settings of the Ecoflow AI-ideal also for the typical IKEA customer. He is used to screwing together furniture, and he doesn’t have to do more when attaching the solar modules; The technology does the rest.

How tempting is the offer? Even if the IKEA-Ecoflow system is not a cheap product, you can also operate a balcony power plant in XXL as a tenant with manageable effort-from around 1200 euros you are there. The purchase at Ikea becomes exciting because “Family” members receive a 15 percent discount on prices. Ecoflow itself also offers special prices, mostly with discounted bundle purchases. But the family discount applies not only on special days or to selected products, but always and over the entire range.
