So @ptfry.bsky.social ‘s #vangreens want to legalizing #balconysolar, which is done in multiple European countries.

“Solar Ready, Plug-In Solar Ready: Streamline permitting for rooftop and plug-in solar.”

Please consider asking fossil fuel funded politician, Eby if he would legalize #balconysolar?
Clean Energy & Green Buildings Building for a Changing Climate: Restore sustainability work for cleaner, greener buildings. Green Retrofits: Partner on retrofit programs and reduce extraneous upgrade triggers. Solar Ready, Plug-In Solar Ready: Streamline permitting for rooftop and plug-in solar. EV Charging Modernized Curbside Infrastructure: Lamppost and utility-pole charging across the city. Decarbonizing New Builds: Limit fossil gas in new construction and restore emissions reporting. Sustainability and Climate Office: Return a standalone climate office to City Hall. Lifecycle Emissions Reporting: Include embodied and lifecycle emissions.

Great news for renters & people living in apartments in #Australia.

And with sizes like this - they'll make a big difference, too.

Update on my #balconysolar #diy #solar. I've decided to pause on putting the panels on the studio roof since I'm not clearing on permitting requirements. Back to the original location which will increase production. Studio pictured. Panels pictured.

☀️ California just legalized balcony solar—a small step with big potential.

As an apartment dweller, I love seeing solar become accessible beyond homeowners. You don’t need a big roof to harness California sunshine. 🌱

My production from #diy #balconysolar #solar was quite disappointing in September. This is because my roommates moved the panels to mow and not kill the grass. You can see mid September when the change was made.

Yes, and an e-bike that can be charged with solar panels is even better. We need revised policy and regulations, along with subsidies, in the US to make solar, and e-Bikes, more accessible and affordable. #BalconySolar "Energy From Heaven, Not From Hell".

I'm using a three bulb standing lamp as the load for this test. It has two fluorescent bulbs and one LED. The measured power is about 45W and the PF is 0.68. I can't pretend I really understand power factor, but I've included it here for any non-bot electricians 😊 #balconysolar #electrification

While it feels like this has been 2 lost years for climate progress here in the States, I have fully electrified all of my lawn, snow & garden equipment, purchased a solar-capable battery, and also set up my first plug in patio solar set up:

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.
