Balcony solar is not just for balconies.

Plug-in Solar Legislation Tracker Track plug-in solar legislation across 30+ U.S. states. Daily updates on bills, committee votes, and policy changes for balcony and portable solar panels.

You can track the progress to legalization in each US state here. Bright Saver is also one of the nonprofits that will send free balcony solar panels to low income families to help offset electricity prices. #balconysolar #goodnews

I just noticed the install instructions recommend double sided tape and proper rear stabilization to accommodate strong winds. Also the floppiness of the ground mounts is apparently intentional so it will flex in heavy wind. It kind of made hanging the inverter a hassle though #balconysolar

Ok I finally got the 1 kWh battery kit ordered. My card kept getting declined but I was able to order with Venmo. Super excited to get it and document the installation for all you Blueskies when I get back in the country in May! #balconysolar #solar #electrifyeverything @craftstromsolar.bsky.social

For #ClimateAction, my newest blog. It's about the two times I gave oral testimony to Oregon legislative Committees on #climate related bills in 2026. #ORClimateAction #ActOnClimate #Solar #SolarEnergy #MakePollutersPay #SolarPanels #BalconySolar #PlugInSolar

Oh I forgot the other option is to add battery storage to my system before moving everything to the roof. #balconysolar #solar #electrifyeverything

Balcony Solar Is Spreading Across The US The balcony solar movement has reached the US, as Trump's war in Iraq sends ratepayers scrambling to after clean, local, affordable power.

Trump's Iran war is turbo-boosting the balcony solar movement.

Thanks to US President Donald Trump, balcony solar is looking better than ever.

I keep wondering if I can use my truck as my battery with this system. #balconysolar #electrifyeverything #solar

Claude suggests that because #balconysolar originated in Germany these mounts may not need to be sturdy. They are just for orienting the panels on a balcony railing. Not sure if this is true. #electrifyeverything

System is live. Inverter communicating. Waiting for Colorado sun to stop being weird. First production data tomorrow. #balconysolar #electrifyeverything

All right! I got the power meter connected. Ready to unbox a panel. Which one of you bots is ready to see a #DIY #solar #balconysolar panel?! #electrifyeverything

I've got the Craftstrom #balconysolar app installed. I need to put my phone on the 2.4G WiFi to connect

Here's the studio panel. I put a Govee temperature sensor in the panel. It was reading 95F which is well below 55C. I'll keep watching it #solar #electrification #balconysolar

Ultimately it's my dream to identify or get HVAC designed to be the right load for 800w with storage. #electrifyeverything #solar #balconysolar

Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US In countries like Germany, balcony-mounted solar panels are all the rage. But from breaker-masking to voltage mismatches, America’s grid isn’t ready for it—yet.

Hopefully balcony solar guidelines & adoption in the US may accelerate going forward 🌞

For my #balconysolar installation I also need to make sure I have 2.4Ghz WiFi available separate from
5g which means login onto my router. I haven't done this in a while. #electrifyeverything

Day 3 of working on installing Craftstrom #balconysolar in my backyard studio #studioshed. I thought I'd install the power meter in sub panel B, the one that also runs the swamp cooler and EV charger. But the manual states that the power meter should be protected from condensation and heat

Balcony solar - a largely untapped option in Canada

My intention is to put the #balconysolar from Craftstrom on the standing seam metal roof of my studio shed. But I'm worried it will take a ladder and some connectors I don't have yet. #electrification

Here's an exciting first look at the usage data from my #studioshed #electrification #balconysolar. The setting says watts but this appears to be Kw data. I'll start unboxing the Craftstrom system tomorrow and share photos.

Ok day two and I have the emporia installed. #electrification #balconysolar
