Smart Energy – frequently asked questions

What does Smart Energy mean at danholt?

Smart Energy at danholt stands for well-designed solutions for solar power, balcony power plants, solar fences, home and balcony battery storage systems and intelligent energy management. The goal is to generate solar power yourself, store it more effectively and use it as efficiently as possible in your own home.

When is a solar fence worthwhile?

A solar fence is especially worthwhile when existing fence areas can be used sensibly to generate electricity. This is interesting for properties where roof areas are poorly oriented, already occupied or not desired for visual reasons. Vertical photovoltaics can also offer advantages in winter and when the sun is low.

What is the advantage of a balcony battery storage system?

A balcony battery storage system stores surplus solar power from a balcony power plant and makes it available again later, for example in the evening or at night. This increases self-consumption, and less self-generated electricity is fed unused into the public grid.

What is the difference between a balcony battery and a home battery storage system?

A balcony battery storage system is usually more compact and designed specifically for smaller photovoltaic systems or balcony power plants. A home battery storage system is larger, more powerful and more deeply integrated into the entire household energy system. Which solution is more suitable depends on PV output, electricity consumption, daily usage profile, available space and the desired level of self-sufficiency.

Why is self-consumption more important than grid feed-in?

Self-consumed solar power replaces expensive grid electricity. Electricity fed into the grid, on the other hand, is often only compensated at a low rate or is not used economically in some systems. That is why high self-consumption is usually more important than maximum feed-in.

Can a battery storage system make sense with dynamic electricity tariffs?

Yes. In combination with dynamic electricity tariffs, a battery storage system can be particularly interesting. Depending on the system, it can not only store solar power, but also charge with inexpensive grid electricity and provide it later for use in the household. Intelligent control is essential here.

What role does a microinverter play?

A microinverter converts the direct current from solar modules into grid-compatible alternating current. In balcony power plants and modular PV systems, it is a central component. Suitable power rating, certification, compatibility with storage solutions and safe integration into the overall system are important.

What belongs to solar components and accessories?

Solar components and accessories include solar modules, microinverters, connection cables, brackets, mounting systems, energy metering, plug-in systems and other accessories. These components ensure that generation, storage and consumption are technically connected in a clean and reliable way.

Do I need advice for a Smart Energy system?

For simple balcony power plants, getting started is often straightforward. As soon as battery storage, solar fences, dynamic electricity tariffs, zero feed-in, energy metering or several components interact, professional advice makes sense. This helps avoid wrong purchases and allows the system to better match actual electricity consumption.
