The Dutch House of Representatives has approved a motion directing the government to create a framework for balcony solar by spring of next year, according to pv magazine. The motion, introduced by Democrats 66 politician Felix Klos, notes that 35% of households in the Netherlands have already installed solar panels and argues that allowing balcony solar would let more households produce their own electricity and lower their energy costs.
The proposal asks the government to establish a framework permitting safe connection of balcony solar and to determine which standards and regulations would need revision to enable it. It drew support from representatives of 12 political groups, out of the 17 parliamentary groups in the House. D66 holds the most seats and leads a minority government with the People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy and the Christian Democratic Appeal.
The motion pointed to Germany as an example of a country that allows balcony solar, noting that roughly 500 MW of PV capacity added there last year came from new plug-in systems. The United Kingdom legalized balcony solar in August for customers in England, Scotland and Wales, and Greece followed a month later by permitting plug-in balcony solar up to 800 W and standalone batteries for the first time.
In Norway last month, a group of Green Party politicians outside the ruling government proposed enabling connection of plug-in solar and batteries meeting established safety requirements by the end of 2027.
