But now, a new generation of small, affordable systems — often called “plug-in” solar — are making clean energy more accessible. Already widespread in Germany, the movement is gaining momentum in the United States. Laura Klivans of PBS member station KQED reports.
By 2050, solar is expected to be the largest source of generating capacity on the U.S.grid.
