Your link doesn’t mention anything about “balcony solar”.
“Application process for rooftop solar and other smaller systems”. If you want to export power to the grid from anything at all, you must go through this process. If you wanted to export power from a hamster on a wheel you must apply for PTO.
Because the whole point is to make solar easier and more affordable?
of course, but not at the cost of safety and grid reliability.
Again, “other small systems” does not mean “balcony solar”. It could just mean ground-mount systems. Everything I’ve found says it’s not required. I challenge you to find the opposite.
Balcony solar is pretty much “plug and play.” Depending on the state/municipality/utility rules, users can install it themselves and don’t have to jump through all the permitting and contractual hoops or pay electricians in order to get it up and running like homeowners who install rooftop solar do
not true, you still need to apply to the utility to export to the grid.

why “presumably”?
Your link doesn’t mention anything about “balcony solar”. And these systems are not supposed to export to the grid anyway.
