African poverty is partly a consequence of energy poverty. In every other continent the vast majority of people have access to electricity. In Africa 600m people, 43% of the total, cannot readily light their homes or charge their phones. And those who nominally have grid electricity find it as reliable as a Scottish summer. More than three-quarters of African firms experience outages; two-fifths say electricity is the main constraint on their business.

If other sub-Saharan African countries had enjoyed power as reliable as South Africa’s from 1995 to 2007, then the continent’s rate of real GDP growth per person would have been two percentage points higher, more than doubling the actual rate, according to one academic paper. Since then South Africa has also had erratic electricity. So-called “load-shedding” is probably the main reason why the economy has shrunk in four of the past eight quarters.

Solar power is increasingly seen as the solution. Last year Africa installed a record amount of photovoltaic (PV) capacity (though this still made up just 1% of the total added worldwide), notes the African Solar Industry Association (AFSIA), a trade group. Globally most solar PV is built by utilities, but in Africa 65% of new capacity over the past two years has come from large firms contracting directly with developers. These deals are part of a decentralised revolution that could be of huge benefit to African economies.

Ground zero for the revolution is South Africa. Last year saw a record number of blackouts imposed by Eskom, the state-run utility, whose dysfunctional coal-fired power stations regularly break down or operate at far below capacity. Fortunately, as load-shedding was peaking, the costs of solar systems were plummeting.

Between 2019 and 2023 the cost of panels fell by 15%, having already declined by almost 90% in the 2010s. Meanwhile battery storage systems now cost about half as much as five years ago. Industrial users pay 20-40% less per unit when buying electricity from private project developers than on the cheapest Eskom tariff.

In the past two calendar years the amount of solar capacity in South Africa rose from 2.8GW to 7.8GW, notes AFSIA, excluding that installed on the roofs of suburban homes. All together South Africa’s solar capacity could now be almost a fifth of that of Eskom’s coal-fired power stations (albeit those still have a higher “capacity factor”, or ability to produce electricity around the clock). The growth of solar is a key reason why there has been less load-shedding in 2024...

Over the past decade the number of startups providing “distributed renewable energy” (DRE) has grown at a clip. Industry estimates suggest that more than 400m Africans get electricity from solar home systems and that more than ten times as many “mini-grids”, most of which use solar, were built in 2016-20 than in the preceding five years. In Kenya DRE firms employ more than six times as many people as the largest utility. In Nigeria they have created almost as many jobs as the oil and gas industry.

“The future is an extremely distributed system to an extent that people haven’t fully grasped,” argues Matthew Tilleard of CrossBoundary Group, a firm whose customers range from large businesses to hitherto unconnected consumers. “It’s going to happen here in Africa first and most consequentially.”

Ignite, which operates in nine African countries, has products that include a basic panel that powers three light bulbs and a phone charger, as well as solar-powered irrigation pumps, stoves and internet routers, and industrial systems. Customers use mobile money to “unlock” a pay-as-you-go meter.

Yariv Cohen, Ignite’s CEO, reckons that the typical $3 per month spent by consumers is less than what they previously paid for kerosene and at phone-charging kiosks. He describes how farmers are more productive because they do not have to get home before dark and children are getting better test scores because they study under bulbs. One family in Rwanda used to keep their two cows in their house because they feared rustlers might come in the dark; now the cattle snooze al fresco under an outside lamp and the family gets more sleep.

...That is one eye-catching aspect of Africa’s solar revolution. But most of the continent is undergoing a more subtle—and significant—experiment in decentralised, commercially driven solar power. It is a trend that could both transform African economies and offer lessons to the rest of the world."

‘Ancient Roman’ Solar Roof Tiles Power Pompeii Villa

Ancient Roman ruins at Pompeii have been fitted with invisible solar panels, in a move that will contribute to the archaeological site’s sustainability efforts and cut costs. The innovative panels, which blend into the background by imitating traditional materials, were installed on the House of Cerere, on a thermopolium — a Roman snack bar — and on the House of the Vettii, which recently reopened following 20 years of restoration work.

“They look exactly like the terracotta tiles used by the Romans, but they produce the electricity that we need to light the frescoes,” said Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the director of the archaeological park of Pompeii, in a press release.

Each year, 3.5 million tourists explore the vast ruins of the ancient Roman city, which was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. But due to Pompeii’s size, energy bills are expensive and conventional methods of providing power across the site can threaten its appearance.

“Pompeii is an ancient city which in some spots is fully preserved,” Zuchtriegel said. “Since we needed an extensive lighting system, we could either keep consuming energy, leaving poles and cables around and disfiguring the landscape, or choose to respect it and save millions of euros.” The new technology will help the archaeological site to cut energy bills and make it more enjoyable, he added.

The invisible solar panels — or “traditional PV tiles” as they are technically known — were created by the Italian company Dyaqua. They can be designed to appear like stone, wood, concrete or brick, and hidden on walls, floors and roofs, according to Elisabetta Quagliato, whose family owns Dyaqua, in the press statement.

“We are an archaeological site but we also want to be a real-life lab for sustainability and the valorization of intangible heritage,” Zuchtriegel said. “Our initiative is not merely symbolic. Through the million tourists who visit us every year, we want to send a message to the world: cultural heritage can be managed differently and in a more sustainable way.”

Other locations in Italy using the invisible solar technology are the commune of Vicoforte in Italy and, soon, Rome’s contemporary art museum Maxxi. Public buildings in Evora, Portugal, and Split, Croatia will also install the panels, according to the press statement.

Pompeii’s recent use of these panels is just the beginning, Zuchtriegel said. “From now on, we will be taking this solution into account for all future renovation and restoration projects.”

Solar panels are now so cheap, Europeans are building fences with them

The panels capture less sunlight when used as fencing than they do on roofs, but the process saves on high labour and scaffolding costs, according to analysts and posts on social media by households that have installed them.

“This is the result of solar panels getting so cheap that we’re just putting them everywhere,” said Jenny Chase, lead solar analyst at BloombergNEF. “Since installation cost — labour, scaffolding — is the vast majority of the cost of installing a rooftop PV [photovoltaic] system, it can make sense.”

“Why put up a fence when you can just put up a load of solar panels, even if they’re not aligned exactly to the sun?” says Martin Brough, head of climate research at BNP Paribas Exane. “Where the panels themselves are just incredibly cheap, the constraints become the installation costs and the sites . . . you get a bit of a DIY mentality.”

Brazil reaches 40 GW of installed solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity, says Absolar

Brazil has just surpassed the historical mark of 40 gigawatts (GW) of installed photovoltaic solar energy capacity, the Brazilian Solar Energy Association (Absolar) informed Broadcast (real-time news system of the State Group). The volume includes large solar plants and own energy generation systems on roofs, facades and small plots of land.

According to the entity’s mapping, the participation of solar sources is currently equivalent to 17.4% of the Brazilian electrical matrix. In 2024 alone, the solar sector will already add 3 GW to the country. Since 2012, the solar source has contributed to Brazil more than R$ 189.4 billion in new investments, more than R$ 53 billion in income to public coffers and generated around 1.2 million reais. millions of green jobs accumulated.

According to Absolar calculations, the photovoltaic sector has already avoided the emission of 48.9 million tons of CO2 in electricity generation, thanks to the clean and renewable generation of the current 40 GW of solar sources active in the country. “In addition to accelerating the decarbonization of economic activities and helping to combat global warming, solar sources play an increasingly strategic role in the competitiveness of productive sectors, energy independence and the prosperity of nations,” said the president.

Sustainable Living: Integrating Solar Energy into Your Home

Embracing renewable energy is a key step toward sustainable living, and solar energy stands at the forefront of this movement. Homeowners around the globe are harnessing the power of the sun, reducing carbon footprints, and enjoying the economic benefits of solar power. This article delves into the practicalities of integrating solar energy into your home, covering the essentials and the transformative impact it can have on how we live and power our daily lives.

Understanding Solar Energy

Solar energy is captured through photovoltaic (PV) cells that convert sunlight directly into electricity. These cells are assembled into panels, which can be installed on rooftops or in open land areas. When sunlight hits the PV cells, it triggers a flow of electrons, generating direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted to alternating current (AC) for home use via an inverter.

Assessing Your Solar Potential

Before investing in solar technology, it's crucial to evaluate your home's solar potential. This depends on geographic location, roof orientation, shading from trees or buildings, and local weather conditions. Tools like Google's Project Sunroof or consultations with solar energy providers can offer insights into how much sunlight your rooftop can capture and convert.

Choosing the Right System

There's a range of solar panel systems available, from grid-tied setups that allow you to sell excess power back to the grid, to off-grid systems with battery storage for energy independence. Your choice will hinge on your energy goals, location, and financial considerations. Additionally, solar thermal systems can provide hot water or support heating systems, further reducing reliance on conventional energy sources.

Financial Considerations and Incentives

The initial cost of solar panel installation can be significant, but numerous government incentives, tax breaks, and rebates exist to make it more affordable. Over time, solar panels can pay for themselves through reduced electricity bills. Financing options like solar leases or power purchase agreements (PPAs) can also help homeowners adopt solar energy with little to no upfront costs.

Installation and Maintenance

Professional installation ensures optimal system performance and complies with local codes and regulations. Post-installation, solar panels require minimal maintenance, typically needing only occasional cleaning and checks to ensure no debris or damage. Most solar panels come with long-term warranties, reassuring homeowners of their durability and efficiency.

Environmental Impact

Integrating solar energy into your home is a positive step for the environment. It reduces reliance on fossil fuels, curtails greenhouse gas emissions, and contributes to a decrease in air pollution. As residential solar energy use grows, it aids in the collective effort to combat climate change and promotes a healthier planet.

Looking Ahead

Solar energy technology continues to advance, with improvements in efficiency, aesthetics, and integration with smart home technologies. As battery storage solutions become more affordable, the ability to store and manage energy will revolutionize home solar systems. By integrating solar energy into your home today, you're not just saving on costs but also investing in a sustainable future and joining the vanguard of the renewable energy revolution.

Solar power for Solar panels home

Solar panels home in London Solar energy begins with the sunlight. Solar panels (additionally known as "PV panels") are utilized to convert light from the sunlight, which is composed of particles of energy called "photons", into electrical energy that can be utilized to power electric loads. A photovoltaic panel can be utilized for a variety of applications including remote power systems for cabins, telecom equipment, remote sensing, and also certainly for the production of electrical energy by household and also business solar electric systems. In a healthy grid-connected solar setup arrangement, a solar array produces power during the day that is then utilized in the residence in the evening. Web metering programs permit solar generator owners to make money if their system produces even more power than what is needed in the residence.

Making use of photovoltaic panels is a really sensible method to generate electrical energy for several applications. A solar electric system is potentially less costly by reducing your electrical energy bills and also can provide power for upwards of 3 decades if properly maintained. With the development of global climate change, it has become more important that we do whatever we can to decrease the stress on our atmosphere from the discharge of greenhouse gases by reducing your carbon impact. Photovoltaic panel have no relocating components and also require little maintenance. They are ruggedly developed and also last for decades when properly maintained. Last, but not least, of the advantages of photovoltaic panels and also solar energy is that, once a system has paid for its first setup expenses, the electrical energy it produces for the rest of the system's lifespan, which could be as long as 15-20 years depending upon the quality of the system, is free! Rates for photovoltaic panels has reduced significantly in the last number of years. This is fantastic due to the fact that, incorporated with applicable incentives, NOW is the very best time ever before to invest in a solar energy system. And also consider this: a solar energy system ahead of time costs about the like a mid-sized automobile! Certainly, you would certainly require to compare the cost of a solar setup against the economic advantages of the decrease in electrical energy use from the power energy grid. A solar business offer solar panels and also provide photovoltaic panel setup in addition to solar cleaning and also repair service solutions.

Top 5 Reasons your Business will benefit from Solar

Sustvest has seen businesses from all different industries and verticals invest in on-site solar. We are making the renewable energy asset class, which is only accessible to ultra-high net worth individuals, family offices, or funds, available for anyone to invest in starting as low as 5000 INR.

An Improved Via Tax Benefits

At least half of your original investment in solar is recouped through tax credits and deductions, allowing solar to deliver a double-digit internal rate of return (IRR) in many cases. Now, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is back up to 30%. You can also increase the tax credit through adders, including an additional 10% if the project meets domestic content. 

Reduced Utility Expenses

On-site solar replaces an otherwise sunken expense with an asset. The money you typically pay to the utility company can be used to purchase a three-decade solar asset that provides long-term benefits. 

To your company. Even owners of triple-net (NNN) leased properties where tenants pay the electrical bills can recoup their investment while offering their tenants energy savings.

Potential to be Cash Flow Positive Immediately

Colorado’s Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) program allows businesses to implement solar with little to no money out of pocket (100% loan-to-cost), enabling projects to be cash-flow positive. 

From year one, after recouping the tax benefits. Additionally, building owners can bundle the cost of a new roof, solar PV system, LEDs, and heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning upgrades into one fixed-

Interest loan with terms up to 25 years. The loan structure removes all risk for property owners, as the non-recourse financing is tied to the property via a special tax assessment. As a result, C-PACE Financing can transfer to the next owner if the property is sold.

Brand Reputation and Differentiation

The Denver metro area is growing and increasingly competitive, attracting many national and international firms. Commercial solar sets these businesses apart from the competition and provides Real estate investors with access to a more sophisticated tenant class with internal sustainability committees or mandates. Solar helps increase occupancy and base rates, meet corporate sustainability goals, comply with regulations (such as Energize Denver), and retain quality employees and tenants. Companies that have installed solar know that few capital energy improvements offer such a holistic Range of benefits.

Increased Property Value

In addition to utility savings from solar, some utilities will purchase the renewable energy credits (RECs) generated by your system. For example, a 200kW system on a 30,000 square foot flat roof in Xcel Energy. 

The territory will generate approximately $11,000 in annual income for 20 years. This income directly increases your property’s Net Operating Income (NOI).

To Sum It Up

On-site commercial solar electricity is cheaper than traditional, utility-based electricity over time. As utility rates continue to raise, so does the value of your solar system’s energy, and these savings are free. 

Up capital to fund core business initiatives or investments. Solar brings impressive and quantifiable ecological benefits for those seeking to achieve environmental, social, and governance goals or mandates. 

To the table. It also increases the marketability of your property, giving you an edge in today’s hyper-competitive market, all while generating an attractive return on investment.

BIPV Market: Trends Supplement Large-Scale Solar Systems Adoption

As per the International Energy Outlook, the global power demand is expected to rise by 80%, requiring an investment of around $19.7 trillion by 2040. Also, the Paris Agreement set a target of limiting global warming temperature below 2° Celsius, preferably 1.5° Celsius. This has influenced governments to seek innovative ways to reduce emissions while meeting energy demand, which has paved the way for photovoltaic materials in buildings. Triton’s analysis estimates that the global building integrated photovoltaics market will propel at a CAGR of 17.31% during the forecast period 2023-2030.

Building integrated photovoltaics serves the dual purpose of being the outer layer of a building and a power generator. This, in turn, has opened a new frontier in green infrastructure, influencing architects to develop energy-efficient and aesthetically appealing buildings. For instance, Ubiquitous Energy’s transparent solar window panels, UE Power, have emerged as an aesthetically appealing power-generating alternative to conventional windows.

BIPV Revolution: Trends Reshape Energy Landscape

According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) , around 90% of the world’s power can be generated with renewable energy by 2050. Since buildings consume high amounts of energy, BIPV integration will facilitate their transition from energy users to producers. On that note, the notable trends reshaping the market are:

Governments perceive investing in green energy solutions as an opportunity to attain GHG reduction targets. Hence, over the past few years, authorities worldwide have employed various measures to stimulate the adoption of sustainable technologies, including BIPV modules, across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. For example:

As per the Indian Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) , the government has implemented the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for high-efficiency solar PV modules with an outlay of INR 24,000 crore, to achieve domestic manufacturing capacity of solar PV cells and modules.

In 2021, the German government amended the Renewable Energy Act by establishing grid priority to drive the onshore wind, solar PV, and biogas growth. The government proposed to increase its solar capacity installations to 100 GW by 2030.

The Chinese government also formulated a policy that requires all new buildings to conform to energy guidelines modeled after LEED specifications. This policy combines a recent initiative to reconstruct 50% of residential high-rise buildings. The country is anticipated to add more than 600 GW of solar power by 2030.

Reaping the benefits from such incentives, the industrial sector leads the BIPV market at 39.54%. However, over the forecast period 2023-2030, the commercial sector is expected to witness the fastest growth at 17.38%.

As per IEA, the global solar PV generation reached around 821 TWh in 2020, a whopping 23% increase from 2019. The energy association also stated that next to utility-scale deployment, distributed applications on buildings contribute to around 40% of PV use globally. In this regard, rooftop-based applications are alleviating the burden on the distribution grids, enabling companies and households to pay lesser energy bills while reducing emissions. Moreover, the cost of installing rooftop PV systems reached around $1 per watt. Hence, roofing captures the majority of the market share at 55.69% in terms of application.

China drives the global market, followed by the US, European nations, and Japan playing a major role. The rise in installations from around 19.4 GW in 2017 to 27.3 GW in 2021 was the key aspect that made China a leader in rooftop installations. For instance, Shanghai and Dezhou have acquired the title of ‘Solar City’, which features a large fleet of rooftop solar water heaters. Besides, the Net Zero Energy Building mandate across China is expected to accelerate the PV roofing segment, with solar tiles gaining major traction. Hence, these developments are expected to widen the scope of the Asia-Pacific BIPV market over the forecast period 2023-2030.

IEA projects that photovoltaic systems are estimated to account for approximately 14% of the total power generation by 2050, owing to the rising detrimental impact of fossil fuels. In fact, the organization stated that PV systems saved more than 860 million tons of C02 in 2020. The construction industry is highly innovative in the commercial sector owing to the development of cost-effective zero-emission green facilities.

As per IRENA, Germany ranks fourth in solar energy production globally. In 2021, the nation installed solar capacities of almost 60 GW, an increase of 5.3 GW from 2020. These actions are based on the country’s aim to obtain a 65% share of the renewable energy sector by 2030. Moreover, the Energy Efficiency Strategy for Building suggested advanced technology development to achieve the goal of a virtually climate-neutral building stock by 2050. Hence, the growing focus on sustainable energy sources fuels the overall Europe BIPV market, spearheaded mainly by Germany.

PV Cost Reduction: A Driving Force for Market Players

Since photovoltaic systems generate energy with around 42% efficiency using multi-junction cells, they have emerged as an ideal alternative over complex installations, such as wind turbines. As per the UN, between 2010 to 2020, the cost of power from solar systems plummeted by around 85%. This highlights the question:

What induced PV cost reduction?

The significant cost decline is mainly because of overproduction and higher investment in PV modules. Another factor is the efforts by Chinese suppliers and wholesalers to reduce the stock held in European warehouses to prevent anti-dumping and anti-subsidy tariffs. This oversupply, from China to Europe thus shrunk the cost of silicon. Such developments led energy solutions supplier Sungrow to supply products to the world’s largest BIPV plant (120 MW) in Central China’s Jiangxi Province. Therefore, the increasing efficiency, ease of installation, and decreasing cost of PV modules over conventional sources like coal and natural gas are expected to open new avenues for players in the building integrated photovoltaics market.

Solar power for Solar panels

Solar panels in London Solar energy begins with the sun. Solar panels (likewise referred to as "PV panels") are used to convert light from the sun, which is made up of particles of energy called "photons", into electricity that can be used to power electrical loads. A photovoltaic panel can be used for a wide range of applications including remote power systems for cabins, telecom tools, remote sensing, and also certainly for the manufacturing of electricity by domestic and also business solar electric systems. In a healthy grid-connected solar installation configuration, a solar array creates power throughout the day that is then used in the home during the night. Net metering applications enable solar generator proprietors to make money if their system generates more power than what is needed in the home.

Making use of photovoltaic panels is a extremely sensible means to produce electricity for numerous applications. A solar electric system is possibly less expensive by minimizing your electricity costs and also can provide power for upwards of 3 decades if correctly maintained. With the introduction of worldwide climate change, it has actually come to be more crucial that we do whatever we can to reduce the pressure on our atmosphere from the discharge of greenhouse gases by minimizing your carbon footprint. Solar panels have no relocating parts and also need little upkeep. They are ruggedly constructed and also last for years when correctly maintained. Last, however not the very least, of the advantages of solar panels and also solar energy is that, once a system has actually paid for its preliminary installation costs, the electricity it generates for the remainder of the system's lifespan, which could be as much as 15-20 years depending upon the high quality of the system, is cost-free! Costs for solar panels has actually reduced significantly in the last couple of years. This is excellent since, combined with appropriate rewards, NOW is the best time ever to invest in a solar energy system. As well as consider this: a solar energy system ahead of time costs concerning the like a mid-sized vehicle! Naturally, you would certainly need to compare the expense of a solar installation against the financial advantages of the decrease in electricity usage from the power energy grid. A solar business market photovoltaic panels and also provide photovoltaic panel installation along with photovoltaic cleaning and also repair service solutions. The solar business will be able to recommend you concerning solar electricity, readily available solar tax credits or solar loans amongst various other things. Space is a vital factor to consider. The typical roof solar system dimension is around 3-4kW and also this will generally use up around 15-20m2 roofing system location. An unshaded, South facing roofing system is optimal for maximum electrical outcome. East or West facing roof coverings could still be considered, however North facing roof coverings are not recommended. A system facing East or West will produce about 15-20% much less energy than one facing straight South. Any kind of close-by structures, trees or chimneys could shade your roofing system and also have a negative influence on the efficiency of your roof solar system. Solar PV panels are considered 'permitted advancements' and also usually do not need planning authorization.

Why You Should Consider a Commercial Solar Panel

If you are looking to build a new home or add a structure to your existing home, then it might be worthwhile to consider a commercial solar panel. They are a great way to get clean, renewable energy into your home, and can also save you money. In addition, many states offer a Clean Energy Credit, which can make your project even more affordable.

Costs

The costs of commercial solar panels have dropped dramatically over the past decade. As a result, many businesses of all sizes are taking advantage of the financial opportunities presented by this type of technology. In some cases, businesses may qualify for tax relief.

The federal government offers a 30% investment tax credit for installing a solar panel system. This rebate can lower the initial cost by up to $20,000 for some businesses. However, this credit will be stepped down after the year 2019.

Another federal program, the Clean Energy Credit, is another way to reduce the costs of installing a solar panel. The credit is equal to 30 percent of the total cost of the solar panel.

In addition to the federal incentives, local utility providers also offer rebate programs for renewable energy technology. The savings generated by a solar system can vary by state, but in general, a commercial system will pay for itself within six years.

Efficiency

When choosing solar panels for a commercial or residential property, it's important to find the most efficient model for your needs. This will help you maximize your energy use and reduce your costs. There are many factors that affect panel efficiency, including the type of cell and the number of cells.

Higher efficiency panels are designed to generate more electricity per square foot. They are also perfect for roofs with limited space. If you need to install a large amount of panels, you may be able to get more for your money with a less-efficient model.

Efficiency is a measure of how much sunlight is converted into electric power. It's measured under standard test conditions, which are based on the cell temperature and the level of irradiance. Solar irradiance is affected by the time of year, latitude and atmospheric conditions. Clouds and snow can cut down on the amount of sunlight that hits a solar panel.

Carports

Solar carports are a great way to protect your vehicles from the sun and rain. These canopies are easy to install, maintain and repair. They can also serve as mini power plants for your home or business.

Solar carports can save your company money on electricity and help reduce your carbon footprint. Aside from helping the environment, they are also a great marketing tool. As more people become eco-conscious, they will want to patronize businesses that are invested in the future of the planet.

Whether you own a restaurant, church, or auto dealership, your commercial property is a prime candidate for a solar carport. You may even be eligible for state or federal rebates. Depending on your location, you can sell any excess solar energy back to your utility provider.

Storage capacity for electricity

Adding storage capacity to your commercial solar panels helps to reduce the amount of electricity that you draw from the power grid. By having less power pulled, you can avoid the cost of peak price rates. Depending on your storage capacity, you can even shift energy from off-peak to on-peak times, which can help make your monthly electricity costs more predictable.

Battery-based systems can also provide backup power during outages. This can be especially important for schools and hospitals. They often have large campuses with lots of rooftop PV potential.

The United States has seen a surge in interest in pairing solar with battery storage over the past few years. While the technology has come a long way, it still has a way to go before it is fully utilized.

Clean energy credit

If you are installing a Solar system for commercial use, you might qualify for a clean energy credit. You can get up to 30 percent of the cost of the equipment. This tax break can be applied to any type of solar system. In addition to the federal credit, you may also qualify for a local or state rebate or subsidized loan.

In the past decade, the solar industry has created hundreds of thousands of new jobs and invested billions of dollars in the United States economy. As prices have fallen, more and more companies and nonprofits have invested in renewable energy projects.

A recent reconciliation bill, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, includes a new 30% solar tax credit, $370 billion in climate spending, and other funding measures. This will help reduce the cost of home energy, save American families up to $1,000 per year, and decrease carbon emissions by 40% by 2030.

Solar balconies are booming in Germany

Solar balconies are a piece of the wider energy transition across Europe, explains Jan Osenberg, a policy advisor at the SolarPower Europe association.

“We see them as a subset of rooftop solar, but also as something different,” he tells Euronews Green. “We basically see it as a trend to use all possible artificial infrastructure for solar generation.”

Train tracks, motorways, carparks, car roofs, cemeteries and building facades… the list of structures getting a solar makeover goes on and on.

Plug & Play Kits

From a customer point of view, the main difference is that balcony PV is much easier to install. You can buy the kit online, and don’t need an electrician to set it up. Unlike for rooftop installations, where certified installers are recommended to avoid fire risks and damage to the structure.

In short: the panels are put on a mounting structure and attached via cables to an inverter that converts the electricity from DC to AC, which goes into your socket via a regular plug.

Who are solar balconies for?

“The main reason for the success of balcony solar systems is that it gives people the chance to use solar who weren’t able to use it before,” says a spokesperson for German manufacturer Meyer Burger.

“Most people don’t own a house, or they cannot install rooftop solar because of heritage protection, shading, or other constructional conditions of the roof. For them, balcony solar is appealing because they can use solar power to generate their own electricity and reduce their electric bills.”
