FAQ

Q

Many systems require drilling into my balcony. Does Suncake?

No. A key innovation of Suncake is its patented clamping system that requires no drilling. This preserves your balcony's structure, makes installation incredibly easy, and is perfect for renters who are not allowed to make permanent modifications to their property.

Q

Other companies offer cheaper panels. What justifies Suncake's price?

The initial price includes the high-efficiency mono-crystalline panel, the premium micro-inverter, all mounting hardware, and a comprehensive warranty. Cheaper alternatives often quote just the panel price, requiring you to separately purchase an inverter, cables, and mounting—adding hidden costs and complexity. Suncake offers better value, safety, and performance as a complete, integrated solution.

Q

I've seen other balcony systems with higher wattage panels. Why is Suncake 800W?

800W is an optimal balance of power, size, weight (only 3.5kg), and safety for a DIY balcony solar system. Much higher wattage often means heavier, glass-based panels that may require professional installation and special permits. Suncake's design prioritizes ease, safety, and universal accessibility without sacrificing meaningful power generation.

Q

How do I clean and maintain my Suncake panel?

Maintenance is minimal. Occasionally rinsing the panel with water (e.g., during rain or with a garden hose) is usually sufficient to remove dust and dirt and maintain optimal performance. Always ensure the system is unplugged before any cleaning.

Q

Can I connect a battery to my Suncake system?

Yes, we offer an micro storage solution (Athena) that can store the solar energy you generate during the day for use at night, increasing your energy independence and system capacity up to 9.8kWh(1.96kWh x 5).

Q

Can I install the Suncake system myself?

Yes. The Suncake is designed for DIY installation. At just 3.5kg, it's lightweight and can be easily installed by one person.

Q

Do Suncake balcony installations cause light pollution?

No. The Suncake's polymer front panel has anti-glare properties that effectively prevent light pollution.

Q

Is Suncake easy to install?

Yes. Suncake balcony solar features a strapping installation system with zero technical requirements.
