New Yorkers may soon be able to harness the power of the sun from the comfort of their own balconies, thanks to a potential city ordinance that would allow residents to install solar panels on their apartment building's balconies. The proposed policy change aims to increase access to renewable energy in urban areas, where rooftop space is often limited. However, landlords may still have a say in whether or not their tenants can install solar panels, raising questions about who will ultimately benefit from the additional revenue generated by the sale of excess energy back to the grid. As the city continues to grapple with climate change and energy sustainability, this development could have significant implications for the future of urban living in New York City.
