I finally installed my two panels, plugged them in and they started producing right away.

250,- EUR for the whole 500W setup, no battery.

It's really more of a hobby project but it feels great. I opted for the modern thin flexible panels and they are super easy to install.

    You should see my neighborhood! About half of the households have opted for balcony solar and it literally looks like those solarpunk pictures with potted plants and solar panels everywhere.

    That's neat, did you have to do anything with your electrical utility and your existing power meter?

    Nice, enjoy the free electricity during the day. Have you already started adjusting your habits like putting the washing machine on a timer to run it when there is a lot of sun?

    Good start. I put up 2 kWp a few years ago.
