People often forget that installation costs dwarf panel and battery costs at this point. A gizmo that had 3kwh of battery (and a fan) sitting behind a well matched solar panel would sell like hotcakes, especially if it supported daisy chaining and back feeding into the grid (with safety interlocks for power outages).


The thing about balcony solar is that there are no 3rd party costs. Just the time you need to install it on your own.

I mean, you could pay someone to do it for you, but most people will be able to do it on their own.
