Balcony solar promises to cut energy costs and grid reliance for renters and apartment-dwellers. I did a trial run at my home.
Mostly notable because the Washington Post is a US publication, and there is approximately zero balcony solar in the US.

This is a great article in that it explains it well. This has been talked about for awhile and every article I have seen required some conversation to get how the system worked in the comments. Its nice to see one spell it out (mainly that yes it can use a regular outlet and that it has some sort of internal safety mechanism to not push energy to the grid). States allowing them is a great first step but unless they pass a right to have one I bet a lot of condos and apartments won’t allow them.
