Plug-and-play solar is officially coming to California! ☀️🔌

With the passage of SB 868, renters and homeowners will soon have a streamlined way to use portable solar kits without the usual utility interconnection hurdles.

Before you buy a balcony setup, here are the key takeaways:

• The Cap: Systems are limited to 1,200W AC output per dwelling.
• Timeline: The law officially takes effect on January 1, 2027.
• Safety First: Kits will require recognized certifications (such as anti-islanding safeguards) to meet state electrical and safety codes.
• Self-Consumption Focus: These kits offset real-time electricity use in your home. There are no export credits for feeding excess power back to the grid.

Check out our blog for a full breakdown on what to consider regarding landlords, safety, and system sizing before making a purchase.

The agrivoltaic installations at the Black Cat and Ring Road projects revived bogs that had been fallow for years, providing local farmers with land lease income while clean energy paired with battery storage powers the local grid.

Great news for clean energy resilience! 💨☀️

Record-breaking wind and solar generation saved the UK £5.9 billion in avoided gas imports during the Hormuz crisis. By generating 41% of the country's electricity so far this year, renewables are actively shielding home electricity bills from global gas price spikes and reducing reliance on foreign energy supplies.
