I finally installed my two panels, plugged them in and they started producing right away.

250,- EUR for the whole 500W setup, no battery.

It's really more of a hobby project but it feels great. I opted for the modern thin flexible panels and they are super easy to install.

The world is now 500W closer to fossil fuel freedom!

You should see my neighborhood! About half of the households have opted for balcony solar and it literally looks like those solarpunk pictures with potted plants and solar panels everywhere.

Good! People need to do as much as they can, no matter how little it seems. It all adds up. Look at the Canadian boycott of the US, we've put a dent in several of their industries.
