Just 10 years ago, landlords could ban you from putting solar cells on your balcony because it makes their building look “messy”. Now Germany is really pushing forward to let everybody put solar modules on their balcony with these new laws. How is legalization of balcony solar cells in your country? Is setting up solar modules on your balcony easy or difficult law-wise?

    What’s interesting about this is that you don’t have to necessarily pull permits for electrical work, as nobody is running conduit or attaching to electrical panel.
    Im grandfathered into an old solar rate plan, and if I change the system or add more panels I’ll lose that privilege. However, if I don’t have to tell the city or utility anything, that opens the door for expanding with balcony solar panels.
