California legalises balcony solar power
Original: California just made it legal to turn balconies into tiny power plants
California has changed its rules to allow residents to install small solar panels on balconies, effectively turning apartment balconies into miniature power plants. Balcony solar, already popular in Europe, lets renters and apartment dwellers generate their own electricity without rooftop access. The move opens distributed clean energy to millions of Californians who previously could not install solar.
Why now: New state rules just legalised plug-in balcony solar, a notable expansion of clean energy access for renters.
