Colorado just legalised ‘balcony solar’ for apartments and renters
From 2027, utilities, landlords and homeowner associations will be restricted from blocking approved systems under 2 kilowatts. While small, these systems can be mounted on apartment balconies, patios and walls, opening rooftop-style solar access to millions of renters and multi-family households previously locked out of the energy transition.
