California formally legalizes smaller, cheaper 'balcony solar' panels
California has formally legalized 'balcony solar' — small, plug-in solar panels that residents can set up on balconies, patios or other small spaces without costly permits or full rooftop installations. The move makes solar power cheaper and more accessible for renters and apartment dwellers, drawing attention as a model other states could follow in expanding household clean energy access.
Why now: People are discussing it because it makes solar power affordable and accessible to renters and apartment dwellers, setting a potential precedent for other states.
