I feel like I always think of solar punk as a macro thing where a lot has to change but there are still smaller wins we can implement, what have you been doing?

Is it worth it to have panels without direct sun in your opinion? I would like to test one of these plug-n-play offgrid balcony kit but I'm not sure.

It will charge for sure, just not optimally.

For low power applications or where you have plenty of time it is totally fine.

When it relies on only indirect sunlight, you can still get 50% of the power generation.
