How is the balcony solar pv energy being used exactly? Do people have DC chargers for laptops?

These setups come with a fitting transformer and you feed their generated power directly in your home power lines via normal plug. It's quite neat actually in my opinion!

how does this affect the meter from the electricity grid company?

[–] zout@fedia.io 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Depends on the type of meter, some measure the power delivered to the grid seperately, older meters just run backwards.
