Small-scale solar panels about the size of a door are poised to be plugged into more U.S. homes and apartments as homeowners and renters who want to harness the sun’s energy look for cheaper alternatives to rooftop installations.
I used to work for a company that had these in their portfolio. Granted, this was over 10 years ago, but at that time, the fact that each panel had their own micro inverter, reduced the efficiency quite a bit. Maybe things have changed.
I my case, the balcony is in the least sunny facade, so I’d have to hang them from window sills, and the homeowners association would probably give me hell about them.
