Balcony Solar: $1.74/watt direct plug-in solar

That seems crazy expensive. In Germany small-self install kits are quite popular. Hitting up amazon.de shows kits for around € 0.3/watt

By EU standards, that is expensive and low power for balcony power. It this US regulatory capture, China import rates, something else, all of the above?

Does any know how these kind of setups work for shared GFCI circuits? Like if I have a couple bathrooms on the same circuit as an outdoor GFCI plug I’d like to use with 1200 watts of panels, is that doable?

How does this work legally? I thought balcony solar was only legal in Utah in the US?

Just for comparison buying solar panels off craigslist is about $0.20/watt.

So that's what an old-school infomercial translated to the Web looks like:

"We pass the savings onto you! [Just pay $29/year membership fee!]"

(Seriously, though. 180W? That's not a ton of "help" for a typical refrigerator that draws anywhere between 300 and 800W.)

(Also, seriously, though. Most apartment owners and condo HOAs won't allow their residents to put these on their balconies.)

Anyone here done this? Either with Brightsaver or another balcony solar system?

What was your experience if so?
