What if you could start generating your own solar power for less than $1,500? ☀️🔌
It’s called balcony solar, and it’s already being used in countries like Germany.
Instead of installing a full rooftop system, homeowners and condo residents can use one or two small solar panels connected to a microinverter to generate electricity and help reduce their monthly hydro bills.
The catch? These plug-in solar systems aren’t currently approved for residential use in BC.
The BC Green Party is pushing for changes that could make this technology more accessible, opening the door for renters, condo owners, and homeowners who aren’t ready to invest in a full rooftop system.
It’s not a replacement for a larger solar installation, but it could be an affordable first step toward generating your own electricity.
Would you install balcony solar if it became available in BC? Let us know in the comments! 👇
