The U.S. May Be Coming Around to Balcony Solar

The U.S. May Be Coming Around to Balcony Solar

Across Germany, more than a million people had installed solar panels on their balconies as of last month. But those are just the officially registered systems. The actual figures could be three times as high, according to government estimates. Though each installation is small, the aggregate electricity generated from these plug-in solar panels is helping Germany reach its renewable energy targets. Is the U.S. next? It's complicated. Plug-in solar, also known as balcony solar, refers to small-scale solar systems that can be installed without an electrician or without permission from a local utility. It is certainly closer to taking off in the U.S. than it was six months ago. The technology's backers hope more hurdles will be cleared before the year is out. This is happening largely thanks to a small-but-committed assortment of policymakers and solar power supporters who are working to make it more accessible. There are two main barriers. First, there are local utility rules, many of which limit what residents can install without permission. And some would-be customers are waiting for the release of a key safety standard from an independent testing company. Victoria Augustine, an environmental activist and resident of Queens, in New York City, was one of the first buyers of a Flex 200 plug-in panel system released earlier this summer by Bright Saver, a nonprofit group based in California that promotes balcony solar. On Aug. 1, she zip-tied the panel onto a wrought iron fence on her porch. She plugged it into an outlet, making sure it wasn't sharing the circuit with any other appliances. The whole process took less than an hour, including a trip to the hardware store for extra zip ties. There was no visit from an electrician or approvals from her local utility. A Bright Saver employee helped her set up a phone app on to track the system's output. And that was it: The panels were generating electricity, albeit just a little. When the sun is shining, the 200-watt system will be able to offset roughly enough electricity to power a small appliance. The Flex 200 could save Augustine an estimated $37 to $50 per year in electricity costs. Bright Saver, a nonprofit group, began selling the Flex 200 for $399 this summer, and the first run of a few dozen systems sold out within a week, said Cora Stryker, its co-founder. The Flex 200 maxes out at about a quarter of the electricity that balcony systems in Germany can produce. That's by design: The founders wanted to release a product that could be used anywhere in the United States without needing permission from the authorities. Bright Saver's product is not designed to send electricity back to the grid, and it is not large enough to trigger local utility rules, said Kevin Chou, the group's executive director. 'I think that what we're trying to do is demonstrate the demand,' said Stryker, who added that the organization was working with state lawmakers to allow more powerful plug-in solar systems. 'Hopefully, a year or two from now, we won't be talking about these 200-watt systems,' she said. Utah legislators eliminated one of their state's biggest hurdles for plug-in solar this year when they passed a law exempting certain home solar systems from requirements that they enter into interconnection agreements with local utilities to send small amounts of electricity back to the grid. Some larger plug-in systems are already being sold in the state. EcoFlow, which has a presence in Germany, has begun selling its STREAM systems to Utah residents. Including panels, they retail for about $2,000. The company declined to share specific sales figures, but Ryan Oliver, its spokesman, said interest has been 'high' since state lawmakers passed the bill. 'We saw that as an invite to bring our product to the Utah market, and we're hoping to see some of these same kinds of moves in other states,' Oliver said. But Raymond Ward, the Republican state legislator who introduced the plug-in solar bill, still hasn't added panels to his own home. That's because his own bill says plug-in systems must be certified by a nationally-recognized safety testing agency. Right now, Ward says, companies selling panels are operating in 'a little bit of a gray area.' The 'gray area' Ward referenced has to do with a safety standard from the independent testing company Underwriters Laboratories. 'UL certification' appears on household items like hair dryers, lightbulbs and refrigerators. Underwriters Laboratories has not issued a specific safety standard for plug-in solar systems. Individual solar components like inverters are already certified under an existing standard. Some safety advocates argue that a whole-product standard, not just one that applies to its components, is necessary before plug-in solar systems hit the market. Representative Ward said he thought people outside of Utah might start buying and installing plug-in solar systems once the UL standard was published, regardless of state regulations. 'That's just a guess, but that's what happened in Europe,' he said. He said he wanted to give his wife a plug-in system for Christmas, and that he hoped the products would be out of the gray area by then. Conservation Trump cracks down on bird deaths, but only from wind turbines Bald eagles must be protected to the fullest extent of the law from dangerous wind turbines, President Trump's interior secretary declared this week. But four months ago, President Trump called for gutting the very law that applies, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, calling it a burden on oil and gas producers. Trump administration officials insisted there was no conflict between the two positions and said the president was consistently enforcing laws for all forms of energy development. Conservationists said the Trump administration's embrace of America's iconic bird was just a pretext for attacking the wind industry, which the president has publicly seethed about ever since he lost a legal battle to stop a wind farm from being built in view of one of his Scottish golf courses. — Lisa Friedman Read more. Climate policy A tug of war over air-conditioning in France The culture wars have come for air-conditioning, at least in France. In July, as a heat wave broiled much of Europe, feelings about air-conditioning suddenly became a political litmus test. Marine Le Pen, the far-right leader in France, declared that she would deploy a 'major air-conditioning equipment plan' around the country if her nationalist party eventually came to power. Marine Tondelier, the head of France's Green party, scoffed at Le Pen's idea and, instead, suggested solutions to warming temperatures that included 'greening' cities and making buildings more energy efficient. In France, only an estimated 20 to 25 percent of households are equipped with air-conditioning, according to the country's Agency for Ecological Transition. — Aurelien Breeden and Josh Holder Read more. Reuters investigated the airline industry's claims about the nascent sustainable aviation fuel projects it has announced in recent years. 'While airlines have announced 165 SAF projects over the past 12 years,' they report, 'only 36 have materialized.' Higher temperatures have caused tropical bird populations to decline by up to 38 percent since the 1950s, according to a study highlighted by Carbon Brief. In 2020, California passed a law mandating that homeowners in some wildfire-prone areas take extra precautions to protect their homes. But Bloomberg reports that the rules still have not been enacted. Thanks for being a subscriber. Read past editions of the newsletter here.

Stock market rallies toward record highs after better-than-expected inflation data

The U.S. stock market is rallying toward records on Tuesday after data suggested inflation across the country was a touch better last month than economists expected. The S&P 500 rose 1.1% and was on track to top its all-time high set two weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 473 points, or 1.1%, as of 2:46 p.m. Eastern time, while the Nasdaq composite was 1.3% higher and also heading toward a record. Stocks got a lift from hopes that the better-than-expected inflation report will give the Federal Reserve leeway to cut interest rates at its next meeting in September. Lower rates would give a boost to investment prices and to the economy by making it cheaper for U.S. households and businesses to borrow to buy houses, cars or equipment. President Donald Trump has angrily been calling for cuts to help the economy, often insulting the Fed's chair personally while doing so. But the Fed has been hesitant because of the possibility that Trump's tariffs could make inflation much worse. Lowering rates would give inflation more fuel, potentially adding oxygen to a growing fire. That's why Fed officials have said they wanted to see more data come in about inflation before moving. Tuesday's report said U.S. consumers paid prices for groceries, gasoline and other costs of living that were 2.7% higher in July than a year earlier. That's the same inflation rate as June's, and it was below the 2.8% that economists expected. The report pushed traders on Wall Street to increase bets that the Fed will cut interest rates for the first time this year in September. They're betting on a 94% chance of that, up from nearly 86% a day earlier, according to data from CME Group. The Fed will receive one more report on inflation, as well as one more on the U.S. job market, before its next meeting, which ends Sept. 17. The most recent jobs report was a stunner, coming in much weaker than economists expected. Some economists warn that more twists and turns in upcoming data could make the Fed's upcoming decisions not so easy. Its twin goals are to get inflation to 2% while keeping the job market healthy, and helping one with interest rates often means hurting the other. Even Tuesday's better-than-expected inflation report had some discouraging undertones. An underlying measure of inflation, which economists say does a better job of predicting where inflation may be heading, hit its highest point since early this year, noted Gary Schlossberg, market strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute. That helped cause some up-and-down swings for Treasury yields in the bond market. "Eventually, tariffs can show up in varying degrees in consumer prices, but these one-off price increases don't happen all at once," said Brian Jacobsen, chief economist at Annex Wealth Management. "That will confound the Fed and economic commentators for months to come." Other central banks around the world have been lowering interest rates, and Australia's on Tuesday cut for the third time this year. On Wall Street, Intel's stock rose 5.1% after Trump said its CEO has an "amazing story," less than a week after he had demanded Lip-Bu Tan's resignation. Circle Internet Group, the company behind the popular USDC cryptocurrency that tracks the U.S. dollar, climbed 2.4% despite reporting a larger loss for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It said its total revenue and reserve income grew 53% in its first quarter as a publicly traded company, and it topped forecasts. On the losing side of Wall Street was Celanese, which sank 14.1% even though the chemical company delivered a better profit than expected. It said that customers in most of its markets continue to be challenged, and CEO Scott Richardson said that "the demand environment does not seem to be improving." Cardinal Health dropped 7.2% despite likewise reporting a stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. Its revenue fell short of forecasts, and analysts said the market's expectations were particularly high for the company after its stock had already soared 33.3% for the year coming into the day. Critics say the broad U.S. stock market is looking expensive after its surge from a bottom in April. That's putting pressure on companies to deliver continued growth in profit. In stock markets abroad, indexes edged up in China after Trump signed an executive order late Monday that delayed hefty tariffs on the world's second-largest economy by 90 days. The move was widely expected, and the hope is that it will clear the way for a possible deal to avert a dangerous trade war between the United States and China. Japan's Nikkei 225 jumped 2.1%, and South Korea's Kospi fell 0.5% for two of the world's bigger moves. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.29% from 4.27% late Monday. The yield on the two-year Treasury, which more closely tracks expectations for the Fed, fell to 3.73% from 3.76%. ___ AP Business Writers Yuri Kageyama and Matt Ott contributed.
