Now you just have to get it past your HOA... I know mine is very fussy about what we can have on our balconies.

While checking on the status of legislation for my own state I found this website which seems to be tracking progress for all of them: https://pluginsolarguide.com/
And pretty sure if it doesn't plug in you can have as much as you like. DIY setups seem like fun although not sure how well the prices scale.
Who is the miserable asshole who voted against this?
This is good but we should also let tenants install solar on buildings (ideally by a public bank potentially against a cut of the electrical savings).
e.g if a majority of the tenants in a building vote for it, you could secure a $200k system generating ~100mWh/year, which is $35K/year, using a ~4% would pay off the over 4 years, (or if you give the tenants a cut of the savings say 20% over 5-6 years)
Edit old math was wrong as where units for annual energy generation
Math is off. 100kwhr is 25 bucks.
With PG&E it is closer to $50. Exibit A: https://sanjosespotlight.com/fact-brief-do-santa-clara-residents-pay-a-fraction-of-what-san-jose-residents-pay-for-electricity/
