And we have it:

DESNZ are now investigating the feasibility of balcony solar.  Good start but please ignore some of the utterly stupid comments ("we don't have plugs on UK balconies" 🤦🏻‍♀️) 

Offstage: [we don't even know how to build balconies in this profiteering, cheapskate country but hey...]

Maybe for 'proper plug-and-play' (as opposed to how we currently wire mini systems into CUs) the answer is not to copy but adapt - find a way to have an interface between mini inverter and distribution grid (I'm being deliberately broad here before y'all jump 😁).

Anyway, it is a necessary step forward - we must find ways to bring tenants and flat dwellers into decarbonisation. And... maybe it will inspire smart designers and entrepreneurs to design a simple system or interface.

As for the £2000 suggestion..... if you are a home owner you can do it much cheaper already including paying a qualified spark for wiring to satisfy building regs . But never mind, it's a step in the right direction.
