Bringing Plug-In Solar to Every American Home

We're on a mission to make solar power as simple as plugging in a lamp — no installers, no permits, no hassle.

Helping every American save on their electricity bill with plug-in solar.

Bright Saver is a nonprofit dedicated to education, advocacy, and access. We believe clean energy should be available to everyone — renters and homeowners, in every zip code, at every income level.

Solar power should work for everyone

💰

Affordability

Plug-in solar can pay for itself through electricity savings — no tax credits, special financing, or contractors required.

  • Budget-neutral from day one
  • No complex financing needed
  • Consumer-driven, not subsidy-dependent
🔌

Independence

When the grid goes down, plug-in solar with battery backup keeps your essentials running.

  • Keep your fridge on during outages
  • Power your Wi-Fi and stay connected
  • Support medical devices at home
🌱

Health & Safety

Every solar panel means cleaner air and stronger communities — especially in neighborhoods that need it most.

  • Cleaner air, fewer emissions
  • Healthier communities
  • Greater climate resilience

Solar panels anyone can use

Plug-in solar panels are small, portable solar systems that connect to a standard wall outlet. They generate electricity that flows directly into your home, reducing what you draw from the grid.

No rooftop installation. No electrician. No permits in most places. Just plug in and start saving.

Plug-in solar complements all forms of solar energy — it's a simple entry point for people who can't or don't want to install a full rooftop system right now.

1
Place the panel on your balcony, patio, or yard
2
Plug the cable into any standard outlet

Your home uses solar power first, grid power second

Education, advocacy, and access

Community Education

We run workshops, create guides, and partner with community organizations to teach people about plug-in solar — what it is, how it works, and who it's for.

Policy Advocacy

We work with policymakers to update outdated rules that make it difficult or illegal to use plug-in solar in many states. Everyone deserves the right to generate their own clean energy.

Early Adopter Access

We help early adopters get their first plug-in solar panel, building real-world proof that this technology works — and building a movement in the process.

Working together for solar access

We're proud to work alongside leading clean energy organizations.

It depends on your state and utility. Plug-in solar is widely used across Europe and is gaining traction in the U.S. Some states have clear rules allowing it, while others are still catching up. Part of our mission is advocating for sensible policies nationwide.

Plug-in solar is complementary to rooftop solar — not a replacement. Rooftop systems are great for homeowners who want full energy independence. Plug-in solar is designed for people who rent, can't afford a full installation, or simply want a simple way to start using solar energy today.

Savings depend on your location, sunlight, and electricity rates. A typical plug-in panel can offset a meaningful portion of a household's electricity use — often enough to pay for itself within a few years through reduced utility bills.

Yes. Modern plug-in solar systems meet electrical safety standards and include built-in protections like automatic shutoff if the grid goes down. Millions of these systems are in use worldwide, and standards organizations are actively developing U.S.-specific guidelines.

Because our goal isn't to sell panels — it's to change the system. As a 501(c)(3), we can focus on education, policy advocacy, and community access without being driven by sales targets. We want plug-in solar to succeed as a category, not just as our product.

You can become an early adopter, spread the word, volunteer with us, or donate to support our advocacy and education programs. Every bit helps build momentum for plug-in solar access across the country.
