Balcony power plants without an operating license: Legal claims of consumers

According to a report by www.stern.de, the Federal Network Agency has determined that hundreds of thousands of balcony power plants in Germany are missing an important safety relay, which leads to the expiration of their operating license. Nevertheless, according to Holgerschneidewindt, lawyer at the NRW consumer advice center, there is no risk to health, but the systems without the relay must not be operated and must be taken off the grid.

This announcement has potentially significant implications for the balcony power market and consumers. Affected manufacturers could face significant legal and financial consequences for failing to comply with safety standards. This could cause them to lose trust and credibility with consumers, which could negatively impact their market share.

For consumers, this means that they may have to check their balcony power plants and, if necessary, make significant repairs or take the systems completely off the grid. This may result in additional costs and inconvenience. In addition, consumer confidence in the safety of such products could decrease, which could lead to a decline in demand.

Overall, it is clear that defects in balcony power plants can have a significant impact on the market and consumers. It remains to be seen how the affected manufacturers and consumers will deal with this situation.
