SUMMARY:Plug-In to Power Up: What NH Needs to Know About Balcony Solar
DESCRIPTION:Join CENH and experts to learn about the cost-saving and safety considerations related to plug-in solar (“balcony solar”).\n\n\n\n\nPlug-in solar (“balcony solar”) is a small\, portable solar system that plugs directly into a wall outlet – no rooftop install required. Already popular in Germany\, where an estimated 4 million households use it\, this affordable technology could open solar ownership to renters\, apartment dwellers\, and budget-conscious homeowners for the first time. \nWith Senate Bill 540 (SB540)\, New Hampshire now has a legal pathway for plug-in solar\, but safety questions remain. US homes are wired differently than European ones\, and a national safety standard (UL 3700) is still in development. SB540 intentionally holds off on updating building codes until that standard is finalized. \nWe’ll be joined by two guests who know this technology from the inside: Vaughan Woodruff of EquinoxDG\, and Stephan Scherer of Craftstrom\, a manufacturer of plug-in solar systems. Together with CENH staff\, they’ll walk through the technology\, the policy\, and the path ahead – and take your questions live. \nThis one-hour webinar will cover: \n\nHow plug-in solar works and why it’s taken off overseas\nWhat SB540 does (and doesn’t) do\, and the adoption timeline\nThe UL 3700 safety standard and what “certified and compliant” will mean\nPractical guidance on what to watch for and when it’ll be safe to plug in\n\nWhether you’re a curious homeowner\, a renter\, a municipal official\, or an energy professional – this session gives you clear\, trustworthy information on what’s next.
