Solar Panel Chatter

 About two years ago....a new trend started up in Germany....balcony solar-panels.  You'd buy the 'kit' for about 250 Euro....install  it yourself (highly recommended to have a electrician do the connect-up stuff).

Well....up until yesterday, you had to have permission of the landlords, and this was a 50-50 thing, if they'd accept it.

Bundestag yesterday passed a new law and said....no, the landlords don't have the right to hinder you from installing it on a balcony.

There's a bit of wording here....if your unit is a threat or 'extra-heavy'....they still have some right to refuse you.  But to just say 'no' without any reason?  Won't work anymore.
