1. This is neat.
2. The responses either attracted a load of wrecker bots or Bright Saver really needs to clarify the language around “membership” or both. The setup seems no more nefarious than Costco.

Summer's coming to a close.
It doesn't feel like it though with how these energy bills are adding up across the country.
If only there was a simple and clean solution. Oh wait.

Suspicious that the micro inverter they use is from a company that only sells their product through this "club". How did BrightSaver find them when they have no other partners or distributors?

BrightSaver, the company described in the article, sells a discrete inverter and MC4 DC connectors as in rooftop designs. Their plugin hookup is CA legal, so they seem to be lobbying for wider or universal regulatory adoption. Is this the same as what you're describing?

US state laws require interconnection agreements with local utilities & multiple permits. Neither #NationalElectricalCode nor #UnderwritersLaboratories have certified balcony solar. So no balcony solar in the US. Nonprofit #BrightSaver is trying to change that with installations in CA.
