huh. just thinking out loud. i’m wondering what it would take to have a nice little balcony solar panel i could plug into my rooftop array and then maybe unplug and take camping with me. or unplug and use as an emergency supply when the grid goes down and plug into my camping inverter because that’s how i’d be using it anyways, and then i can get rid of that big ugly gas generator in the yard.
i figured out how to get it to work camping already, i am just thinking about the roof part. i should probably get an expert if i do it. i ain’t wanna fuck with the electrical on the house more than a switch.
I’ve been thinking something very similar. I don’t have any existing solar but there’s these balcony solar setups, that are all the rage in Germany, coming to the US, that just plug in to a regular outlet or battery storage. Not enough for whole house power, but with a good enough battery system you could probably get decent runtime for essential power needs.
Well like we’ve got a good solar setup [edit already] but I want my camping solar right? For the ebikes. And why the fuck put it on the shelf when I’m not camping
