a bunch of #solar facts
I want to hop on the #pluginsolar bandwagon
Systems are easy to understand!
Manufacturer websites are impossible to understand.
My state recently passed a bill!
The bill requires UL certs that almost nobody has yet.
I have a large sloped yard facing south!
To plug in, I would need to run water/ice proof cable ~25 meters.
I'm relatively tech savvy!
I won't have two full hands until Thanksgiving or even Christmas.
My current plan is to research, plan, design and even #code so I'm ready to act in the spring. Hopefully the market will be more organized by then.
(code: I'm resurrecting and hardening my electric meter logging #sdr project so I can verify results)

Hello #Brits,
There is a little study on how to make #pluginsolar more accessible, including the main barriers and concerns people have.
It's a short 10-question survey. If you're a #UK resident, please make your views heard:

#pluginsolar #solar became legal in my state recently. Is there a particularly good source of info on how to pick a system?
also, my house is over 200. the #electrical is modern, but there's like....5 or 6 subpanels. I'd be plugging in to one of them. does that matter? (I do some #diy but electrical terrifies me. I've gotten multiple shocks.)

#Parvekevoimalat sallittava myös Suomessa.
Monet Euroopan maat kuten Saksa, Iso-Britannia ja Ranska ovat jo sallinneet aurinkosähkön syöttämisen suoraan asunnon pistorasiaan 800 W tehoon asti.
Tästä on lukuisia etuja:
* sopii kerrostaloasuntoihin
* ei vaadi sähköasentajaa
* laitteet saa mukaan muuttaessa
* sähkön tuotanto lähellä kulutusta
* akku lisävarusteena on myös varavirtalähdeLisätietoja

In our experience the typical German #pluginsolar consumer owns a house or apartment. He is 50+, technically interested, rather male, middle class and lives in a suburb or rural location.
#pluginpv is usually not bought by renters (especially not in high rise buildings), poor people or students.

We estimate that about 40% of #pluginsolar devices in Germany are mounted at a balcony and around 40% are mounted on a flat roof or garden.

One key obstacle for #Steckersolar in 🇫🇮 is SESKO, the Finnish Electrotechnical Standards Association.
SESKO still requires specialised feed-in plugs, while Germany’s new 🇩🇪 DIN VDE V 0126-95:2025-12 explicitly allow regular Schuko plugs for #PlugInSolar up to 800 VA.

The Australian 🇦🇺 government will work with the states and territories to "identify measures that enable the safe use" of #pluginsolar and report back on next steps by the end of 2026!
Great to hear!

Excited to see this building momentum in the US
Sad to see a lack of this in Canada.
We need to up our game, folks.

In my various retrofit roles, it’s been vital to ensure that solar pv array installs are compliant with UK safety regs.
That means getting a qualified and certified electrician to sign off against it.
The notion that no such sign off with plug in solar is required is baffling when you realise how these systems integrate with your home and it’s wiring:

I am genuinely astounded at how poorly the UK #Labour government has prepared the ground for plug in solar (also known as balcony solar).
It’s as if they have no idea how big the take up has been in other European countries or the notion that this could be a big issue between renters and landlords.
Byline Times helpfully have looked into compliance. Please read before thinking of purchase whether you are a renter, home owner or landlord:
