If a bill introduced in the Legislature passes this session, a small solar array would be a mere plug in away for Minnesotans.

The legislation would establish regulations for installation and operation of plug-in solar devices. Also known as balcony solar, homeowners or renters could place units outside near an outlet as a way to harness solar energy and cut down on surging electricity bills. 

The idea is to “democratize” solar, making renewable energy more accessible, said Sen. Rob Kupec, DFL-Moorhead, the bill’s author in the Senate.

This is just such an obvious win. I’d love to hang a few more off my balcony.
