What the Poweroak Balco 500 does
A hybrid inverter runs both the solar array and a home battery: it supplies the home from the panels first, stores the surplus and draws on the battery when the sun goes down. With 3.7 kW of AC output, the Poweroak Balco 500 suits an array of about 3.7–4.8 kWp, as installers commonly size the panels up to 30% above the inverter's rating.
In Germany, an array of the same size produces about 3,330 kWh a year, assuming a conservative 900 kWh per kWp: worth €256 a year fed into the grid at 7.70 ct per kWh, and up to €1,232 used at home instead of buying power at 37.0 ct.
Estimates. Electricity prices: BDEW Strompreisanalyse, autumn 2026; Bundesnetzagentur, EEG feed-in tariffs from 1 August 2026.
