NEW IN 2026
Maryland legalized plug-in solar with HB 1532, effective July 1, 2026 — certified systems up to 1,200W, no utility approval or fees required. Virginia followed the same day. See the Maryland law.
THE BASICS
What is balcony solar?
Balcony solar—also called plug-in or plug-and-play solar—is one to three panels that mount on a balcony railing, patio, or fence and plug straight into a standard 120V wall outlet through a small microinverter. No roof, no permits for the smallest systems, and no permanent construction. When you move, your solar comes with you.

Jose brings the advocate’s view to your balcony
Before founding Flores Photovoltaics, owner Jose Coronado Flores worked as an environmental lobbyist—pushing for the kind of clean-energy access that laws like Maryland's HB 1532 now make real. That background is exactly why plug-in solar matters to him: it puts solar within reach of renters and apartment dwellers who were locked out for years.
