Get Involved

Balcony solar should be legal and easy everywhere. Here is how you can help make that happen.

Four ways to contribute

Research State Legislation

Dig into your state's electrical code, interconnection rules, and utility policies. Summarize what you find in plain language and flag the gaps that block plug-in solar.

Good for: policy wonks, law students, homeowners navigating permits.

Submit Data Updates

Spot something out of date on a state page? Send a correction with a source link. We track every change publicly and credit contributors who want attribution.

Good for: anyone who reads carefully and can cite a source.

Volunteer for Outreach

Help translate pages, contact local officials, testify at utility commission hearings, or host community info sessions. Outreach is how policy actually moves.

Good for: organizers, translators, public speakers, neighbors.

Share Resources

Know a great guide, video, study, or product review we should link to? Send it our way. We curate a CC0-friendly library for the whole community.

Good for: researchers, creators, librarians of the internet.
