Plug in Balcony Solar Panels to Go on Sale in UK for First Time For years, the UK's renewable energy initiatives have focused on rooftop solar panels, leaving households without roof access out of the loop.
However, this is about to change with the introduction of plug in balcony solar panels, set to hit the market for the first time this week.
These systems, popular in Spain and Germany under the nickname "Balkonkraftwerk" (balcony power plant), can be plugged into a standard wall socket, generating electricity from a balcony, terrace, shed roof, or any other outdoor space.
