Mobile Solar set up whilst renting, worth it?

celica00

I am planning to rent for another while and my landlord doesnt want to invest in solar panels.

I was looking at these and was wondering would they be worth it? Does anyone uses any of their products? The fact that it is mobile is super good but I wouldnt be wanting to give back energy to the main grid.

thoughts?

Not worth it if you have grid power right there.

Paying a big premium for portability,

Perfect if camping/caravaning etc and not having to run a generator etc but if your in a house it's not worth it.

Personally I would give it a miss. For that type of money you would probably never make it back in power generated but others could tell you the maths on it. I might be wrong though. I would think if you waited until you had your own place and got a proper system installed you would still be better off financially rather than buying something like that.

Thanks for the input!

i was wondering as well if it would pay itself off in a few years but I dont have the guarantee it would last as many years (even with warranty). Pity, i love the idea of it :(
