Newsom signs California bill creating nation's largest balcony solar market

Original: Newsom signs California plug-in solar bill, establishing the nation's largest balcony solar market

California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a plug-in solar bill that legalizes balcony solar systems across the state, creating the largest market of its kind in the United States. The law lets residents plug small solar panels into standard outlets, following the model popularized in Germany. Clean energy advocates expect it to expand access to affordable solar for renters and apartment dwellers.

Why now: The new law opens a major consumer solar market and is seen as a significant step for distributed clean energy in the US.
