California Legalizes Balcony Solar for Apartment Dwellers

Original: California Officially Legalizes Balcony Solar, Opening the Market to the New Technology

California has officially legalized balcony solar, becoming one of the first US states to allow residents to plug small plug-in solar panels into ordinary outlets and feed power into the grid. Renters and apartment dwellers, previously excluded from rooftop solar, can now adopt the technology. Supporters say the change opens clean energy access to millions who could not install panels on their homes.

Why now: A new state law newly opens solar ownership to renters and apartment residents, a significant market shift.
