Not OP but I rent and have to use my deck for solar. I only have 2 x 100W panels that sit on the ground, and that feeds a 135Ah AGM battery in a box. The box has a 500W inverter on top connected to the battery and powers a mini fridge, deck lighting, and a few other things out there. I would love to put them on the roof and my landlord would probably be cool with it, but I take it camping all the time so it's nice being able to pack them up quick.

Panels and batteries are relatively cheap (and getting cheaper) to the point that it can makes sense to have purpose-built setups.

I recently went from deck solar to landlord-permitted roof solar.
Which panels are you using?
