I’m a little wary of plug-in solar in the US. Some of the bills propose allowing 1200 watt panels which can overload wiring depending on what else is on the circuit and how in the wall wiring is run. Limiting plug-in panel wattage to, say, 400 watts might be necessary

    Im really excited for this because i have a porch outlet that im pretty sure is on a single line with my hvac unit that is pretty heavy duty. Of course I will need to be in a disposable income situation to get one of these.

      The prices I’ve seen for the simple plug-in PVs are terrible. I can only imagine it making sense on frequent road trips or camping, or perhaps in situations where you live in an apartment and have no rooftop real estate for proper panels.

        that is the scenario. its about apartments and condos and such where you can’t put them on a rooftop. Heck im not sure how townhome rules work but im betting you can’t put it up on your share of the roof.
