Rooftop solar + batteries for apartments?
Shared solar on multi-unit roofs is expanding through co-ops and green leases, while balcony micro-panels remain niche where rules allow. Batteries help shave peak rates even when full off-grid life is impossible in a city flat. The paperwork—HOA rules, incentives, interconnection—often outlasts the hardware install. Renters should look for community solar subscriptions before buying panels they cannot take with them. Clean power is as much policy as photovoltaic cells.
