States approve balcony solar panels without safety rules
Original: States OK solar panels for balconies. Safety guidelines haven't caught up.
US states are legalizing plug-in solar panels for apartment balconies, a move aimed at expanding access to renewable energy for renters. However, safety and installation guidelines have not kept pace with the approvals, raising questions about electrical risks, fire hazards, and building standards as more residents adopt the plug-and-play panels.
Why now: Balcony solar is gaining popularity as states change laws, but regulators have yet to issue safety standards, prompting concern.
