Balcony Solar Setup
150W
Fridges, routers, and standby electronics. Usually ~150W for an apartment. Higher base load = less wasted exported energy.Info: Regulations vary by local utility and state. While plug-and-play solar exists, connecting it directly to a wall outlet for grid feedback without an interconnection agreement may violate local electrical codes.

*Self-consumption is estimated based on your apartment's standby power (base load). Since you generally aren't paid for feeding power back into the grid with a plug-in system, maximizing self-consumption is key to ROI.
