Do solar panels work on balconies?

Solar panels on balconies can work well, as long as nothing is obstructing light from reaching the panels.

The angle and direction the solar panels will also affect their output.

Can solar panels be installed on a south-facing balcony?

South-facing balconies receive the most hours of sunlight, allowing panels to produce more electricity than if they faced in another direction. Solar panels on east or west facing balconies will benefit from direct sunlight in the morning or afternoon respectively, so they are still viable.
