States Approve Balcony Solar Panels as Safety Rules Lag
Original: States OK solar panels for balconies. Safety guidelines haven't caught up.
US states are legalising plug-in solar panels for apartment balconies, letting renters generate their own power, but safety guidelines and installation standards have not kept pace with the new laws. The gap is raising questions about electrical safety, fire risk and who is responsible when poorly installed panels go wrong.
Why now: Balcony solar is newly legal in several states and regulators have yet to issue matching safety standards.
