Unfortunately, the article makes no mention of (approx) how many rental units there are in NJ. A step further would be, of those, how many have balconies. And finally, how many face south (or close).

I live in Central NJ. This bill certainly can’t hurt. But is the impact significant? Anecdotally, it doesn’t feel that way. The (new) governor still has a campaign promise to fulfill.

They are called balcony solar but you don't need a balcony, that's just convenient. You just need an outlet and sun.

That aside, thanks for filling me in. We’ll have to see how it goes

		New Jersey isn't entirely high-rises with no balconies, some people will put them out in their yards or hang them from their porch.
