  1. Solar Rights Alliance on SB 868 (just signed into law in California)

    "...This new Plug-In solar law does three things:

    Creates a statewide safety standard for Plug-In solar.

    Limits the size of these systems to 1200 watts (about 3-4 panels).

    Creates a new rule that lets us use these safety certified systems without having to pay the utility a fee or get permission from the utility.

    Millions of households in other countries use these Plug-In systems every day to make their electricity more affordable. In Germany, people can buy these systems online, in hardware stores, and in big box stores like Ikea and Walmart. These portable solar panels come with integrated microinverters, and they can be hung from a balcony, set out on a patio, or placed in a yard, and then safely plugged into a wall outlet.

    These Plug-In systems can help renters and homeowners alike immediately lower their energy bill. And now, they’re coming to California!

    Here's what to expect next:

    The Plug-In solar law goes into effect on January 1st, 2027.
    It’ll probably take a few more months after that for manufacturers to get their first round of products certified by safety experts, as the law requires.
    We’re keeping a close eye on developments to ensure that you're among the first to know when safe, certified Plug-In solar systems start hitting shelves. ..."
