Das selbe gilt für USA. Utah hat #BalconySolar bereits bis zu 1200W zugelassen. Weitere 20-30 Bundesländer sind dabei.

Jedoch sind die Preise deutlich höher, 1000 US$ für eine Anlage.

Today on Volts: I've had more requests to cover this than almost any other topic in the pod's history, so now, at long last, balcony solar! We dig into how "plug-in solar" took off in Europe & how it's making its way to the US, starting in Utah. Backyard DIY types rejoice!
What's the deal with balcony solar?
Cora Stryker joins me to explain how "plug-in" solar took Europe by storm and is finally, via Utah (?), making its way to America.

13/ This research has been methodological further developed for a comprehensive prospective #LCA approach applied for the countries #Finland, #Germany, #Spain, #Chile for baseload #GreenH2 with shares up to 100% for solar PV doi.org/10.1016/j.sp... .

12/ Improved prospective #LCA insights for #solar PV are of high relevance as the arising sustainable energy system is dominantly built on PV www.ise.fraunhofer.de/en/publicati... and huge volumes of #solar PV are needed for the #PtXeconomy doi.org/10.1016/j.ij....
Science: Photovoltaics at multiterawatt scale: Waiting is not an option - Fraunhofer ISE
PV researchers determined that a sustained global growth in photovoltaics of 25 percent per year over the next decade is prerequisite for achieving a climate-neutral global energy system by 2050.

11/ 🧩 A harmonised methodological framework was applied, combining detailed #LCI data with electricity system modelling. This offers transparent, reproducible metrics for future-oriented #PV deployment planning and #policy.

10/ This study shows that environmental gains from next-gen #PV are highly context-dependent. Full benefits are realised only when #grid integration & national energy system characteristics are considered.

9/ 🔄Grid interactions strongly influenced system-level results. Curtailment, storage utilisation, and residual load patterns shaped the environmental performance of PV systems in each country.
November 26, 2025 at 10:40 AM
8/ Technological advances such as higher #cell efficiency, material reductions, and improved manufacturing significantly reduced environmental impacts. However, these gains varied depending on the regional electricity mix.

7/ #Spain has the lowest life cycle impacts across all PV technologies due to high solar irradiation & a clean grid mix. #Finland showed higher impacts, reflecting lower irradiation levels.

6/ Building-integrated PV showed high potential in urban areas. Its dual function (1) generating electricity & (2) replacing conventional building materials, led to positive environmental benefits.

5/ Bifacial PV emerged as the new standard for maximised yield & highest electricity generation all around the world. This can be further increased with single-axis tracking for highest yields & lowest cost: doi.org/10.1016/j.so...

4/ 🌊 #FloatingPV showed promising results in regions with limited land availability and favourable water conditions. ☀️Bifacial ground-mounted systems performed well due to higher energy yield under varied irradiance.
November 26, 2025 at 10:39 AM
3/ A prospective #LCA modelling approach is applied to capture technological learning, efficiency improvement and material reduction trends that are expected in the coming decades. This enabled future-oriented #environmental indicators to be estimated for each #PV technology.
November 26, 2025 at 10:38 AM
2/ 🌍 Three countries are selected to represent a wide range of #solar resources & electricity mix characteristics, allowing the environmental performance of innovative #PV technologies to be assessed across diverse regional contexts.
