Balcony storage and micro-inverters
Storage designed to plug in rather than be installed.
A balcony battery sits between the panels and the socket, holding what the sun made at noon so it can be used at seven in the evening. No electrician, no consumer unit work, no export tariff argument.
Whether that is permitted, and at what power, is set by the grid rules where you are rather than by the product.
Usable capacity as against nominal — the difference can be a fifth — and what the standby draw is. A storage unit that consumes while idle is spending part of what it stored.
Read against its input window, its output ceiling and the grid standard it declares.
The data behind one of these listings arrived from the source with a character encoding fault in the product title. It is reported on the page as a fault rather than reproduced as a name.
