California approves plug-in balcony solar for residents
Original: California gives the green light to balcony solar
California has given the green light to balcony solar, allowing residents to install small plug-in solar panels on apartment balconies and railings without the permitting hurdles typically required for rooftop systems. The move opens access to cheap renewable energy for renters and apartment dwellers, following a model already popular in Germany. Energy commentators are highlighting it as a practical step toward wider household adoption of solar power.
Why now: Regulators approved a new, low-barrier way for renters and apartment dwellers to access solar power, which energy watchers see as a significant policy shift.
