Now there's finally solar for apartment dwellers, condo owners and renters!
- Easy, quick self-install solar power for your balcony, fence or railing
- Offsets a meaningful chunk of daytime power use, about 5% to 12% of an average home's bill
- Lightweight. Take it with you when you move!
What's included
- Four 175W flexible solar panels (Renogy, 5-year product warranty, 25-year power warranty), each with attached cables and MC4 connectors
- Stainless steel UV-resistant panel ties (200-lb tensile strength, UL 62275 Type 2)
- MC4 solar extension cables
- One APsystems EZ1-LV plug-in microinverter with a power cord and standard 120V plug (UL 1741 / UL 3700, 12-year warranty)
Monitoring is through the free AP EasyPower app. No battery is included.
How it works
The panels turn sunlight into electricity, and the EZ1 microinverter makes it usable for your home. Secure the panels on your balcony railing, fence or other sunny spot with the included metal ties, connect the panels to the microinverter, and plug the system into a suitable outdoor outlet. Watch your solar production in the app. Your home uses your solar power first, so you draw less from the grid while the sun is shining.
Before you install
You will need a dedicated circuit with a properly grounded, GFCI-protected outdoor outlet, and any circuit or outlet work is a job for a qualified electrician. Check the rules where you live: state, local government, your utility, and your landlord or HOA if you have one, before you buy or install. This is grid-connected solar that works alongside your utility service, not backup power during an outage.
700W is rated panel capacity, not guaranteed production. Actual output depends on sunlight, placement and temperature. Check with your utility that your meter and billing can handle exported solar before buying.
