We're seeing a lot of excitement around new plug-in balcony solar legislation.
We're curious:
Do you think we should develop a plug-and-play system supporting a small number of Solar Road Panels?
We'd really value your feedback.

Microgrids can be a dynamic force for countering abusive utility monopolies all over the U.S., but I love to see them being used to prevent wild fires as well! #distributedenergy
Expanding the power grid to remote Western areas can exacerbate wildfire risk. PG&E’s solar-and-battery-powered microgrids are a safer, cost-effective alternative.
Can utilities replace power lines with solar and batteries in remote…
Expanding the grid to reach far-flung customers can be a costly fire hazard. So utilities like PG&E are testing out microgrids using solar, batteries, and…

It strengthens communities, improves reliability, and keeps value where it belongs—on-site and local.
