Short answer

A plug-in balcony PV system is a small system that connects to your home's wiring through a socket. Greece now allows up to 800 W output and 1,000 W installed, with an online notification to DEDDIE, an engineer's or installer's declaration and an active YDE on your supply. Every Sunrail package stays within those limits. See what the decision says in detail.

Practical connection questions

These systems connect through a socket. Whether a normal Schuko socket is enough or a dedicated outlet is needed will be set by the DEDDIE/ELOT specifications, due by 31 October 2026. We'll confirm it before any order.

Yes, for two things: an engineer or installer declares the system meets the specifications, and your supply needs an active YDE. Our Athens installed package covers this.

Yes, through an online notification on DEDDIE's digital portal. The portal isn't live yet; its start date is due by 31 December 2026.

Up to 1,000 W of panels in total, behind an inverter of up to 800 W. In practice that means two 400–500 W panels. Four-panel kits sold abroad usually exceed the Greek limit.

The decision says DEDDIE installs a smart meter for these systems.

Certified micro-inverters switch off automatically when the grid goes down, so they don't feed the line while technicians work on it. A basic plug-in system doesn't act as backup during an outage.
