More than one million Germans have installed affordable plug-in balcony solar panels, turning apartments into small-scale clean energy producers. Costing around $235, these easy-to-use systems are helping households cut electricity bills while accelerating Germany’s transition to renewable energy.
you would have to look at used setups in your area. a single panel, controller, and inverter (which appears to be the “balcony solar” setup discussed in the article, as opposed to mine which sits on a big rack in my yard) might be able to come down to $300 but you’d have to search. I built my own 400w setup for about $1k but that was years ago and the prices have gone up.
What do you mean prices have gone up? It’s like 50€ per 100W on AliExpress are prices that different in NA?
okay I realized after posting that the panels I linked were 800w, not 400w, so my estimation was off prices are indeed down even on amazon
Do you think the prices will continue to increase even after sodium ion batteries start mass production this year? I’m like 50/50 on this.
