Anker SOLIX Balcony Solar Kit

The most 'buy it and go' option: panels, microinverter and mounts included, with a battery you can add. Great for renters who want one box rather than sourcing parts.

EcoFlow STREAM Microinverter

If you just want to offset daytime usage cheaply, the STREAM microinverter is the value pick. Add a STREAM battery later to store surplus. No battery out of the box, so evening benefit is limited until you expand.
