California solar bills advance for balcony solar, community solar and VPPs

CleanTechnica reports that California solar legislation is moving forward to support balcony solar, community solar and virtual power plants. Related reporting from pv magazine USA says SB 868 would clear a pathway for plug-in balcony solar systems up to 1,200 W, while other bills address community solar and distributed-resource participation. For the solar sector, the package is significant because it targets access and grid flexibility rather than only large central-station generation.
