This heat wave is absurd in some ways. My 10x5 south-facing balcony is in blazing sunlight. Feels like it could power at least a tiny heat-pump. At 15w/sf that’s 750 watts. Google says a typical home AC is 3500-5000w. So ~15-20%? Are there ad hoc local plug-in solar rigs?

no, i don't have a good place to put the panels that *isn't* the roof; i'm working on doing the whole she-bang with a city-approved grid-tie and master electrician approval and everything because why not
