		toomuchtodo 53 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Vertical Solar Panels Are Out Standing We're only talking ~800W 120V in most cases, so phase balancing is immaterial in this use case (in the context of balcony solar). Edit: For larger installs (many vertical panels, >1kw), agree that balancing and a dedicated circuit is likely more optimal.

I mean, if you can't backfeed, you might have stuff "on" in your home, but your solar might not be on that side so it's not doing you any good.
