I have a balcony that already has a 120 plug. Can’t wait for this and honestly im hoping it will also allow for an easy battery to be used whole home.
Comment on Balcony Solar is coming to the USA, sort of

Would be great for condos - I have an upstairs balcony that’s sort of useless for anything else.

1200 watts isn’t everything, but its definitely something, and when there are 7.4 million condominiums and 120 million renters in the USA. If a tenth of them get 1200 watts, that’s 1.5 gigawatts in the usa

I mean, that’ll offset lights and idle appliances, at least. Or even a fairly beefy PC.

Nah, 1200w is much more than that.
If you live in LA that’s like 2MWh/year.

Payback period varies, but in Germany, most buyers are seeing a 4-5 year period
