Panels have already been installed on about 1.5m German balconies, where they are so popular the term Balkonkraftwerk (balcony power plant) has been coined. Manufacturers say that installing a couple of 300-watt panels will give a saving of up to 30% on a typical household's electricity bill. With an outlay of [Euro] 400-800 and with no installation cost, the panels could pay for themselves within six years. In Spain, where two thirds of the population live in apartments and installing panels on the roof requires the consent of a majority of the building's residents, this DIY technology has obvious advantages. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/dec/18/if-a-million-germans-have-them-there-must-be-something-in-it-how-balcony-solar-is-taking-off
