Technical FAQs 4

What are balcony solar panels?

Balcony solar panels are compact photovoltaic systems specifically designed for installation on apartment balconies, terraces, and small outdoor spaces. Unlike traditional rooftop installations, these systems are typically plug-and-play solutions that require no permanent modifications to the building structure.

How much does balcony solar cost?

When it comes to installing balcony solar, it’s likely that you won’t be able to fit more than two standard sized (350-400W) panels that are mains-connected. Straight away this limits your cost. With each standard size panel costing between £450 and £650, you can expect to pay a maximum of £1,300 for two full size panels.

How to choose a balcony solar panel?

Let’s take a look at the important factors to bear in mind when thinking about balcony solar. Size – If you’re going for plug-in panels, you’ll need at least 1 metre by 1 metre of space for a small run. For vertical panels, you just need the wall or railing space. Sunlight – Unobstructed sunlight is key.

Are balcony solar panels better than roof-mounted solar panels?

Compared to roof-mounted systems, balcony solar panels generally produce less power due to space limitations and potentially less optimal positioning. However, they can still make a meaningful contribution to your energy needs. Let’s take a look at the important factors to bear in mind when thinking about balcony solar.
