I wonder how useful those are just small panels hanging off the side of a balcony oriented poorly.

They also kinda look terrible :(

When it comes to urban design, I consider balcony solar panels to be less of a nuisance than cars on the streets.

Much better than a lot of "architecture", too.

The 450W panels are quite large these days (2m²). I don't mind their looks.
