Balcony solar power (en.wikipedia.org)

A balcony solar power system (also called a plug-in solar panel, mini solar system, or balcony power station) is a small photovoltaic system designed to generate electricity for direct use in a home or apartment. Unlike conventional rooftop solar installations, balcony solar systems connect to the existing electrical circuit of a building through a standard power outlet or dedicated socket, without requiring significant structural modifications or professional installation in most configurations.

This is very cool stuff! They are 10x cheaper and good for renters because you can take them with you when you move! DIY power is like the most solarpunk thing ever!
