Could balcony solar be another option for Australian households? ☀️
Western Australia is exploring proposed safety standards for plug-in solar panels and batteries, with consultation opening on 29 October.
These compact systems could give renters and apartment residents an opportunity to generate their own electricity without needing a conventional rooftop installation.
But we're also interested in what this could mean for homeowners, with standalone homes?
Could plug-in solar eventually work alongside traditional rooftop systems, or is its biggest opportunity in helping more people access solar in the first place?
Consultation is open until 9 December 2026.
What do you think? Would you consider plug-in solar for your home?
