Hello and welcome to Energy Evolution, the podcast where we explore the ups and downs of the energy transition. I'm Dan Testa. Now, often on this podcast, we're talking about massive energy projects. But in today's episode, we're looking at smaller home energy generation, some developing technologies. We're gonna be delving into plug-in solar, which is also sometimes called balcony solar, and vehicle-to-grid. Now, for both of these technologies, energy generation is really getting put in the hands of an everyday homeowner or a renter or any consumer who simply plugs in a solar device or electric vehicle to send energy to the home or grid. and we're seeing growing interest in both of these kinds of tech. There's a lot to discuss here. It's very new. In this episode, we're gonna explore what plug-in solar and vehicle-to-grid are and how they can be used, what we're seeing in the market for these, and how these could continue to emerge and grow and push the broader industry. Joining me to talk about this today is Kirsten Eric, a reporter who we've had on before who covers solar for Platts, part of S&P Global Energy. For this episode, Kirsten interviewed Cora Stryker, co-founder of BrightSaver, a plug-in solar company, and Aseem Kapoor, chief revenue officer at GM Energy. Hey Kirsten, welcome back. Thanks for being here.
Dan Testa — Energy Evolution · Balcony solar and EVs are giving consumers a greater role in grid flexibility · 2026-08-18Sure. I spoke with Cora Stryker, co-founder of BrightSaver, a plug-in solar company. Here's what she had to say. So to get started, what are you seeing with plug-in solar? I know several states starting with Utah have passed legislation.
Kirsten Eric — Energy Evolution · Balcony solar and EVs are giving consumers a greater role in grid flexibility · 2026-08-18Yeah, in my own experience— and I live in Western North Carolina— I had an EV charger installed last year through a Duke Energy program. It paid for a big chunk of the cost of installation, but the cost of installing bidirectional equipment that would have let me feed power from my EV back into the house if I needed to power it in an emergency or something like that, that was going to be way, way more expensive, prohibitively so. So this tech is expanding, but it's still got a ways to go in terms of access, especially depending on where you are. Okay, that seems like a good place to wrap up. Before we go, I want to thank Cora Stryker and Asim Kapoor for sharing their time and knowledge. And a big thanks to Kirsten Eric for joining us today, for doing those interviews and reporting for this episode. I'd also like to recognize the rest of our Energy Evolution podcast team, including Camilla Nashart, Karen Willenbrecht, Joreen Plam, and Eklavya Gupta.
