Bill > S2368

This bill exempts certain portable solar generation devices, defined as movable photovoltaic devices with a maximum output of 1,200 watts that connect to a standard 120-volt outlet and meet safety standards, from the need for interconnection agreements and net metering programs with electric public utilities. It also prohibits utilities from requiring prior approval, fees, or additional equipment for these devices, and shields them from liability for damages caused by their use. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) update the State Uniform Construction Code to provide guidance on wiring and modifications for using these portable solar devices, including those designed for international use, within New Jersey homes.
