About
Founded in 2021, Balkon.Solar is a ngo headquartered in Freiburg, Germany specializing in Solar.
Balkon.Solar e.V. is a registered non-profit association based in Freiburg, Germany (established October 2021, tax-exempt status confirmed September 2021). The organization focuses on making solar energy accessible to renters and homeowners through plug-in photovoltaic systems that connect directly to standard wall outlets. Their mission centers on demystifying Steckersolar technology, providing legal support for tenant rights to install these systems, and advocating for regulatory changes. Activities include educational webinars, legal guidance documents, FAQ resources, and coordination with local municipalities and policymakers. The organization has contributed to German legislative changes, including Section 554 of the German Civil Code (BGB) enacted October 2024, which grants tenants the right to install plug-in solar systems. Balkon.Solar maintains local chapters across German-speaking regions and operates international outreach, including solar projects in Ukraine.
