The SolMate power storage unit is designed for balcony power plants and makes power generation even more effective. And that’s not all: during a power outage, it serves as a large power bank.
Around 400,000 Balcony power plants are already in operation in Germany. The operators value the plug-in solar devices – as the official term is – both personal climate protection measures and Electricity costs to save. Like large rooftop photovoltaic systems, Mini solar systems generate electricity when the sun shinesAt night the yield is zero, during the day when the sky is cloudy it is limited.
In order to avoid having to supply the entire household with expensive mains electricity at these times, there is a solution: Battery storage. This conserves excess solar power, which you can then use in sunless hours. The Austrian company EET* – Efficient Energy Technology GmbH – manufactures storage systems and sells them as standalone solutions or in packages with balcony power plantsThe devices are not only characterized by high efficiency, but also by innovative design.
Balcony power plant storage: EET SolMate technology ensures optimized efficiency
EET has developed and patented a storage technology that differs from conventional Battery storage fundamentally different. The intelligent SolMate power storage* are with the so-called “NETDetection Technology” – NetD for short –. The measurement technology enables the owners of balcony power plants to measure the electricity generated exactly when it is needed The storage system recognizes using technology to Power consumption of the household via the socket in Real timeFor other battery storage systems, a smart meter is required.

It has a storage capacity of 1.44 kilowatt hours (kWh for short). The best thing: SolMate is not just a storage device. It includes two inverters. This means that you only need solar modules to generate and store electricity (click here to go to the configurator*). EET supplies the innovative device with two to four panels. You can use the SolMate storage Plug & Play directly into your household power socket and use it directly, without any complicated installation by a specialist company. App is very clear and does its job. The system is also capable of learning. Using machine learning, the storage system remembers your user behavior, which makes the power storage even more effective.
The delivery includes:
- SolMate storage with 1.44 kWh
- incl. stand and wall mounting bracket
- if necessary PV modules, see “Prices and options“
How much does SolMate power storage cost, when does it pay for itself and how long is the guarantee?
The SolMate power storage system as Standalone solution costs from 1,395 euros* (instead of 1,695 euros). EET assumes a Electricity cost savings of up to 50 percent. Since in Germany officially only 800 watts fed into the home network, the real savings are at one thirdIn the first half of 2024, a kilowatt hour (kWh) cost an average of around 35 cents. A two-person household consumes an average of 2500 kWh per year. This results in electricity costs of around 900 euros per year. If we assume that SolMate Own consumption on almost 100 percent increased, this reduces the electricity bill to around 600 euros.
With the estimated electricity cost savings of 300 euros per year, the SolMate storage will have paid for itself in five to six years. In connection with the special price in less than five years. This is faster with other systems, but with the The guarantee from EET and its manufacturers, the bill is round. In addition to the two-year warranty, you have a 25-year performance guarantee on the PV modules and a 15-year product warranty on the power electronics, especially the inverter. 6,000 charging cycles covered, which corresponds to an operating period of 15 years.

Expansions planned – Practical: SolMate storage is also an emergency power generator
The SolMate works with a LiFePO4 battery. It stores up to 1.44 kWh of electricity between and thus covers low base loads. Other manufacturers are now sending basic storage units with over 2 kWh into the race. In the future, however, the SolMate storage unit will also have a Possibility of expansion to 4 kWh give.

By the way: You can use the SolMate memory Can also be used as an emergency power generator during a blackoutThis is made possible by the island mode with 1000 watts. All in all, SolMate is a large power bankwhich you can also use on the go, for example when Camping The supply of devices is provided by a integrated socket possible. On the manufacturer’s website you can get a Overview of the possibilities*.

In the balcony power plant set: SolMate storage with inverters and solar modules
You can either connect SolMate to your balcony power plant or, if you don’t have one yet, order the storage unit with solar modules. Either way the inverters are already integrated in the SolMate storage system. The solar modules have 430 watts each and are in the elegant Allblackdesign. In addition, they are bifacialThis means that they are two-sided solar generation are even more effective. These all-in-one options are available:
- SolMate with two solar modules (total 860 watts): 1,695 euros instead of regular 1,995 euros
