California Legalizes Balcony Plug-In Solar for Residents
Original: California Just Made It Legal to Turn Balconies Into Tiny Power Plants https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.moth erjones.c
California has enacted a law allowing residents to install plug-in solar panels on their balconies, effectively turning apartments into small-scale power generators. The bill, championed by Senator Scott Wiener, is aimed at lowering residential energy costs and expanding access to solar power for renters who previously could not install rooftop panels.
Why now: The new law opens solar power to millions of renters and apartment dwellers, a notable shift in US residential energy policy.
