What is balcony solar?

A law that allows people to plug small solar panels on balconies or patios into ordinary outlets for enough electricity to run their home appliances without paying any power company for it -- just as millions of people have long been able to do in Germany and other countries.

Currently, balcony solar passed in Utah, Virginia, Maryland, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Colorado, California and New Jersey.

Will Ohio be next?

Tell your Ohio legislators and governor to get on board now!
