California approves plug-in balcony solar for residents
Original: California gives the green light to balcony solar
California has moved to allow balcony solar systems, letting apartment dwellers and renters mount small plug-in panels on railings and balconies without full rooftop installation. The change follows rules already adopted in parts of Europe, including Germany, where such kits have become popular. Supporters say it opens clean energy access to people who cannot install rooftop panels.
Why now: Regulators approved a new rule making small plug-in solar legal, which matters to renters and the solar industry.
