Description
Is Plug-in Solar California's Next Big Thing?
Across large swaths of Europe and Asia, households are turning to "balcony solar" panels to cut their electric bills and reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. Now many U.S. consumers, companies and policymakers are beginning to eye the technology with interest. Two key questions: Is it safe and scalable? We'll discuss the potential for plug-in solar to make distributed clean energy more widely accessible at a lower price point, while relieving grid stress and addressing climate goals.
