The Saxony consumer advice center is suing Aldi for misleading advertising for balcony power plants

According to a report by www.mdr.de, the Saxony Consumer Center is suing the discounter Aldi for misleading advertising for balcony power plants. According to the consumer advice center, the advertised solar system should have a significantly higher output than it can actually achieve. After a warning, the consumer advice center is now taking action against Aldi for an injunction. The discounter states the peak output of the advertised system as 600 watts, although the solar modules can generate a maximum of 350 watts of electricity.

The impact of this lawsuit on the market could mean that consumers reconsider their purchasing decisions regarding balcony power plants. If advertised products do not perform as promised, this could affect consumer confidence in the company's offerings and the industry as a whole. The lawsuit could also require other balcony power plant providers to review and possibly adjust their advertising to avoid similar legal consequences.

The promotion of mini power plants, especially balcony power plants, is popular in many cities and federal states. The lawsuit could lead consumers to pay more attention to whether the advertised performance of solar systems actually corresponds to reality. Overall, this development may encourage manufacturers and suppliers to pay more attention to providing accurate and transparent information in order to maintain consumer trust. This can ultimately lead to fair competition in the balcony power plant market.
