Solar Power options for appartments, rentals, and small scale baseline energy usage at home
Generate your own power from the comfort of your balcony. Benefit from everyday sunlight with an EcoFlow PowerStream Balcony Power Plant right at home.
So ecoflow has come out with some crazy product that lets you offset your energy usage by using Solar. The target audience for this specific tech is apartment and rental units. (Anker is also currently working on one, but I think their product is only available in Germany at the moment)
While this can't/isn't designed to run your whole home, it can offset some of your energy usage, and since it utilizes a standalone backup battery you do have some small off grid redundancy.
What are the thoughts on this? Is distributing solar and batteries to potentially every appartment and environmental mistake? Or is this potentially a massive step towards a function and sustainable future grid?

To be honest, when I went solar 8-9 years ago, "environmental benefit" did not enter the equation, it was all about the cost I was paying for electricity.
I just recently purchased an ecoflow river, using it as an ups, and the cost to me was minimal, got it at dealers cost, again "environmental benefit" , didn't factor in.I have been looking into getting one as a ups. It'll take this as a hint that it is a good idea :)
