Bought 2 used solar panels for my apartment today.
The price was really cheap so I couldn't say no to itm going to set-up s system so they just sit by the wall for now (good for winter) and later on think of something more permanent.
They're 200W each and since they are a bit old I guess I might get something about 100-150W out of them in peak time. More than enough to power my hydroponic devices on the balcony.

Mechanical part of the mission accomplished.
Finished the wooden box from discarded fruit box on the street, added 2 black plastic bags that I had since I moved, put the 2 x 5L water bottles with their Tiny Tim tomato plants in them, used a T split for the airpump and tested it to make sure the flow was enough to keep the roots hydrated preventing them from root rot and will cover the box with aluminum foil before adding the solar panels and voltage regulators into the system.
Already picked 5 cherry tomatoes from the larger plant and the smaller one has some 20+ flowers which I'm hoping to turn into juicy tomatoes soon.
Took longer than expected, but I'm happy about the results.
Next, getting the electrical parts ready.

my solar panels have arrived. Just need to find the control boards to connect to an airpump for the large hydroponic units
I'm pretty sure these will be sufficient for having the pumps ok a few minutes every day to keep the unit oxygenated.

I did a calculation, with 600W of solar power and a 5 or 10kwh battery bank I can live off grid.
I'm really that efficient in energy use.
