Plug-In Solar vs Rooftop Solar

Two very different scales of solar. One is a small daytime offset; the other is a long-term home investment.

Both are 'easy solar', but they solve different problems.

Balcony solar is a form of plug-in solar, but the form factor and U.S. legal picture differ.

Voltage changes which outlet you use, how much power can flow, and which code rules apply.

Generators store; grid-tied systems share. Choose based on outage tolerance and bill savings.

DIY can save money on parts, but professional install carries permits, warranties, and protection.

One generates power, the other stores it. Many homes eventually want both.
