Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them

As I mentioned several times elsewhere, gas generators also typically require permitting.

For a permanent installation, yes, just like a large solar installation. But I can go down to Lowe’s and get a gas generator capable of similar output as the balcony solar and it won’t require any permits.

Which is what balcony solar is.

Though this does vary by locale, in most places legally it’s only permanent if you have to leave it there when you move.
