Small “plug-in” #solar panels are becoming more popular in the 🇺🇸 US because they’re cheap, easy to install , just plug them into a wall, and can help people cut their electricity bills, even if they don’t own a rooftop 🌞💡
Small plug-in solar panels gain traction as an affordable way to cut electricity bills

Looks like prices for simple #BalconySolar systems have hit rock bottom in Germany.
A simple 830Wp set with 2x 415W PV panels, plug-in microinverter is now 240€. Same price as February.
That's 0,29€ or 0,34US$ per Wp.
A year ago the price was 300€.
Systems with battery are still getting cheaper.

... you could get a panel cleaned, tested, and fit with new connectors ... so you could take it home & hang it off your balcony! They gave away 1000 panels, for free!
