NEP Micro Inverter BDM-800 - 800W for balcony power plants

The NEP BDM-800 (Northern Electric & Power) is a high-performance, dual micro-inverter designed specifically for modern balcony power plants. With a maximum output power of 800 watts it makes full use of the statutory feed-in limits and ensures maximum yields.A key advantage of this model over many of its competitors is the built-in Wi-Fi moduleYou do not need an additional base station (such as a DTU) to read the yield data. The inverter connects directly to your home router. Thanks to two independent MPPT trackers, it controls two connected solar panels individually, which optimises the total yield, particularly in cases of partial shading or different orientations (e.g. east/west).Highlights at a glanceHigh output power (800 watts): Reliably supplies up to 800 VA to the home network, ideal for maximising output from standard balcony solar systems.Integrated Wi-Fi: No external gateway or additional dongle is required; the device sends yield data directly to the free NEPViewer app.Two independent MPPT trackers: Guarantees the best yield from each of the two modules, even if one is partially in the shade.Integrated over-current protection: Complies with the German standard VDE-AR-N 4105 (including an integrated relay) for safe and legal operation in Germany.High module compatibility: It can handle high input currents and is therefore ideally suited to modern high-performance modules (400W to 600W+ per input).Robust & weatherproof: The aluminium housing is dust- and waterproof to IP67 standard and built to last for decades of outdoor use.Areas of applicationThe NEP BDM-800 is the straightforward all-rounder for:Balcony power stations (2 modules): The classic ‘plug-and-play’ system mounted on the balcony railing to directly reduce your electricity bill.Garden & flat roof installation: This is ideal, as the device’s IP67 rating means it can be installed outdoors, directly behind the modules mounted on the frame.Smart homes: For users who want to monitor their electricity generation conveniently on their smartphone (iOS/Android) without the need for additional hardware.Installation & Safety InstructionsWi-Fi reception at the installation site: As the Wi-Fi module is housed in the inverter’s metal casing, check with your smartphone before permanent installation to ensure that there is still a sufficient Wi-Fi signal from your router on the balcony or roof.Ventilation: The inverter uses its housing as a heat sink. Do not mount it directly onto flammable materials and leave space at the rear of the module to allow air to circulate.Throttling possible: If your local network operator still insists on a 600-watt limit, the NEP BDM-800 can usually be certified to be throttled via support or the app (and later unthrottled back to 800W). FAQs on the NEP BDM-800Do I need an extra aerial or a gateway for the app?No. The Wi-Fi module and the antenna are already discreetly integrated into the BDM-800’s housing. During the initial setup, you simply need to connect the device to your home network (2.4 GHz) via the app.What plugs do I need to connect to the socket?The device usually has a standardised AC socket (often of the type Betteri BC01). To connect it to the mains socket, you’ll need a suitable ‘Betteri -to-Schuko’ (or Wieland-plug) connection cable that’s long enough for your setup.What happens if my router fails? Will the NEP still generate electricity?Yes, absolutely. The Wi-Fi connection is used solely for viewing statistics and energy yields in the app. As soon as the sun is shining and mains voltage is present, the inverter feeds electricity into your home network – completely independently of the internet.
