Balcony solar panels for renters
One or two panels on a railing, plugged into an outdoor outlet, where your state and your lease allow it.
What matters
- Check the law and its start date for your state first.
- Check the lease. Ask your landlord in writing; New Jersey is the exception that bars blocking a qualifying device.
- Stay at or under about 360 W on a shared circuit (Bright Saver).
Watch out for
- Railing mounts must not damage the building or hang over a walkway in a way your lease forbids.
- No outdoor outlet means no plug-in kit; never run an extension cord through a window for one.
