Germany just now approved new laws that make setting up solar on your balcony super easy
Mini-Solaranlage auf dem Balkon oder Photovoltaik-Anlage im Mehrfamilienhaus - das soll künftig ohne komplizierte Anmeldung möglich sein. Bundestag und Bundesrat haben das Solarpaket beschlossen.
Just 10 years ago, landlords could ban you from putting solar cells on your balcony because it makes their building look "messy". Now Germany is really pushing forward to let everybody put solar modules on their balcony with these new laws. How is legalization of balcony solar cells in your country? Is setting up solar modules on your balcony easy or difficult law-wise?

I got a tiny one on my balcony last year. With WFH it doesn't put anything through to the grid but already lowered our consumption by 1/10, which is pretty amazing. Plugs into a regular socket. Power provider exchanged the meter to be able to handle it for free, and everything else was also very smooth. I am very happy with it and would put up more, if I had the space.
“To be able to handle it” means a meter that will not record any negative consumption to prevent them from having to pay you for excess energy.

Means a meter that records input as well as output and no, Germany so far does not have anything in place where regular folk get paid for what they input.
But as I said, everything I generate goes directly into my own consumption, so I don't mind much.
Do you have a link to some thing like the one that you got?
I would really like a solution like this, not some full on integrated into my house, sells surplus back to the grid kind of solution, just some thing to slightly reduce how much I fall back to the grid for power without insane installation costs would be amazing.
I got my stuff from priwatt. They got most types of solutions. Possibly a bit more expensive than elsewhere, but they handle a lot of the paperwork as well.
