Translation: "This will have consequences for you." That's what I heard when I pushed for something in a standards committee that is now commonplace for over a million households: simply using self-generated solar power via the household socket. In the podcast "Die Wattstunde" (The Watt Hour) by Kleines Kraftwerk DE GmbH, I spoke with Christian Ofenheusle about this path. About the early, ridiculed days of the balcony power plant, about political and technical resistance, and about how the world's first standard was created in Germany, officially making plug-in solar power possible. What this episode is about: - the safety study that provided the first reliable answer to the question, "Do balcony power plants cause fires?" - how the current power limits were derived from this - what risks arise when devices ignore these limits - and how ready2plugin protects every line from overload, even beyond the 960-watt limit It's about more than just technology. It's about the question of how decentralized energy supply can be safely implemented on a broad scale, in Germany and beyond. Full episode here: https://lnkd.in/gRAw7zGr
