Pardon the stock image. It won’t let me post without one. Curious if anyone here has built or researched a diy balcony solar setup. I’m new to solar, so this seems like a good small scale project to learn on.

If you have built one, what equipment did you use? How did you decide on panel wattage?

    I figure batteries are their own thing and useful on their own. Technically if the panels provide the minimum your unit uses for fridge and such non is needed but batteries to me is about having blackouts and being able to still function as normal for enough time to get it sorted. Granted that can be a long time but like an hour can cover the majority of outages and as it gets longer you get more but its sorta one of those things where the longer it is the less often its going to come into play but then you have where if the panels get you more than you need then you can pay less at night to. For awhile anyway.
