California legalizes plug-in solar panels, no roof required

Original: Want solar but don't own a roof? California just legalized plug-in panels, no permission required

California has passed a new law legalizing plug-in solar panels, allowing residents who do not own a roof — such as renters and apartment dwellers — to use balcony or portable solar without permits or utility permission. The panels are already popular in Europe and other US states, and supporters say the move could significantly expand access to solar power in California.

Why now: A new state law makes rooftop-free solar power legally accessible to renters for the first time, which could affect millions of residents.
