California Legalizes Balcony Solar, Opening New Market

Original: California Officially Legalizes Balcony Solar, Opening the Market to the New Technology

California has officially legalized balcony solar, allowing residents to plug small solar panels into standard outlets and sell excess power back to the grid. The move opens the state's huge energy market to a technology popular in Europe, where renters and apartment dwellers use plug-in panels to cut electricity bills. Observers say it could make clean energy accessible to millions who cannot install rooftop systems.

Why now: California becoming the first large US state to legalize balcony solar signals a potentially major new consumer energy market.
