Pardon the stock image. It won’t let me post without one. Curious if anyone here has built or researched a diy balcony solar setup. I’m new to solar, so this seems like a good small scale project to learn on.
If you have built one, what equipment did you use? How did you decide on panel wattage?


Having battery storage is the most expensive part of any off-grid system. Without it, you obviously dont need batteries, but you can also get rid of all the battery management stuff, charge controlling, inverters, etc.
Direct attic fan sounds great because you need it the most when it’s the most sunny.
It would be cool to do a direct solar powered hydroponics or pond project, where you just pump all the water to a reservoir when you have sun, and let it drain back 24 hours a day.
