California legalizes balcony solar in new law

Original: California Officially Legalizes Balcony Solar, Opening the Market to the New Technology Models that meet state standards

California has passed legislation legalizing plug-in balcony solar panels, opening the market to a new class of small-scale solar technology. Models meeting state standards are expected to go on sale in mid-2027. The law exempts plug-in panels from the standard utility registration process that rooftop solar systems must follow, making installation far simpler for renters and apartment dwellers.

Why now: The new law creates a novel market for plug-in solar in the largest US state, drawing attention from energy and climate observers.
