Advocacy for Balcony Solar in Nevada Underway Amid Utility Evaluation
What happened
Delman is advocating for changes to Nevada state law to promote the adoption of balcony solar installations. These plug-in systems connect to standard power outlets and range from 200 to 1,200 watts in output. NV Energy confirmed it continually evaluates emerging technologies like these, monitoring their potential benefits, safety considerations, and impacts to the electric grid.

Why it matters
The push seeks to allow residential users in condo, townhome, and apartment settings to supplement their energy needs using solar power. While the systems are still evolving in the U.S. market, they are already approved for use in various capacities, including in Utah since early 2025.
