The SUNNY Act (S8512/A9111), sponsored by Senator Liz Krueger and Assemblymember Emily Gallagher, would legalize plug-in solar for millions of NYC renters. Utah passed first in March 2025. Virginia passed 96-0 in March 2026. 30 states have introduced balcony solar bills this year.
"Plug-in solar is a powerful tool to deliver enhanced energy independence and affordability to millions of New Yorkers who are currently shut out of the solar economy." — Senator Liz Krueger
30 states with active balcony solar bills in 2026 — NYC is next.
Not yet. The SUNNY Act (S8512/A9111) is currently moving through the New York State Legislature. Once passed, it will legalize plug-in solar panels up to 800W for residential use. We're ready to install the moment it clears.
No. Once the SUNNY Act passes, tenants will have the right to install plug-in solar without landlord approval — similar to how window AC units work today.
Yes. Plug-in solar panels are portable by design — they mount to your railing and plug into a standard outlet. When you move, we'll reinstall at your new place.
Based on the SUNNY Act's fiscal analysis, NYC renters can expect to save approximately $279 per year. With NYC's electricity rate at 31¢/kWh — 56% above the national average — balcony solar pays for itself fast.
