Balcony solar power has been a growth industry across Europe for a few years and consumers can pick up kits at retail stores, take them home and plug them in, and get immediate benefits. The U.S is slowly changing legislation to make these easily installed with no issues from the power companies, and Utah is the 1st to allow them.
Are there any provinces or territories that are considering legalizing these kits?
