California approves balcony solar for residents
Original: California gives the green light to balcony solar
California has approved balcony solar, allowing residents to mount small plug-in solar panels on apartment balconies and railings without the lengthy permitting required for rooftop installations. The policy, long popular in Germany, makes clean energy accessible to renters and apartment dwellers who previously had no way to generate their own power. Energy commentators are calling it a significant step toward democratizing solar access in the state.
Why now: New rules expand solar access to renters and apartment dwellers, a shift with broad appeal as energy prices rise.
