A little power of your own
Electricity costs matter to Yukon households. A small solar kit could give people with a sunny balcony or wall a way to make part of what they use. It would be one more choice for the home, with savings that depend on the kit, the season and the bill.
A plug-in solar kit uses small panels to make electricity for your home. A device called a microinverter converts that power for use in your home's wiring. Kits can mount on a balcony, a wall or a railing and connect through a regular wall outlet. Germany has more than a million of them. We're working to make certified kits an option here.
The Vuntut Gwitchin's solar project in Old Crow shows what a northern community can do with solar. A household kit would serve a smaller purpose, making electricity for one home. We're asking for clear rules that give those small systems a place too.
We're asking the Yukon government to make certified plug-in solar a practical option for households. A clear connection process would help people know what is required before buying a kit. Add your name to support that change.
