Small, “balcony solar” units hold particular appeal for renters who cannot install rooftop panels and could take portable units with them should they move.

Most states are limiting balcony solar to 600-1200W, which is only 5-10A at 120V. Not enough to cause problems with imbalanced loads in a home, and most peoples homes aren't terribly well balanced anyways. It all more or less evens out by the time you have 10-20 (or however many - idk, I'm not a lineman) homes on a tranformer.
