Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to energy; regulating the installation and operation of a plug-in solar photovoltaic device; proposing coding for new law in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 216B.
AI Summary
This bill establishes regulations for "plug-in solar photovoltaic devices," which are portable solar power devices designed to reduce a customer's electricity use, with a maximum power output of 1,200 watts, capable of connecting to an energy storage system, and certified by a federally recognized testing laboratory. Importantly, these devices are exempt from needing an interconnection agreement with an electric utility, from the state's net metering rules (which govern how excess electricity sent back to the grid is credited), and from any fees, approvals, or reporting requirements imposed by electric utilities for their installation or operation. The bill also clarifies that electric utilities will not be held responsible for any damage or injury caused by these devices.
