Given rising energy costs, renters are looking for alternative ways to save on electricity. Plug-in solar panels are one potential solution, and they're quickly gaining traction because of their ease of use. Lawmakers in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island are all advancing proposals that would allow residents to use plug-in solar systems that connect to standard home outlets.
Plug-in solar systems, also called balcony solar systems, are smaller alternatives to traditional rooftop panels. These systems typically feature a compact solar panel that can be placed on a balcony or patio, without the need for complex installation.
