The feed-in limit is set by the country, not by the panel

The best balcony solar kits for 2026

A balcony kit is two or more panels, a micro-inverter and a lead that plugs into a household socket, and it is the one shelf on this site where the rules of the country decide what the hardware may do. The inverter output is capped by regulation in several markets, and a kit sold with 800 W of panels behind a 600 W inverter is not mis-sold — it is oversized on purpose, because a panel rarely reaches its peak and the extra area fills the morning and the evening. What a buyer must check is what the maker states about registration and installation: the grid operator, the meter, the socket type and the tenancy all have a say, and none of them is a specification this site can supply. The hardware questions are simpler. Panel wattage and its test conditions read exactly as on the neighbouring shelf. The plug is either a standard household type or a dedicated connector, and that choice is the one most often regulated. Mounting hardware is sold with the kit or separately, and railing brackets, wall mounts and ballasted frames each suit a different balcony. Monitoring — an app, a dongle, a meter — is what turns the kit from an act of faith into a measured saving. We compare panel wattage, inverter output and its cap, plug type, mounting hardware, monitoring and stated registration duties.
