portable solar power devices; requirements

HB 2843 establishes rules for portable solar power devices under 1,200 watts that plug into standard 120V outlets. It prohibits utility companies from charging fees, requiring permits, or demanding extra equipment for these devices. Devices must meet national safety standards, automatically shut off during power outages, and comply with electrical codes. Local governments cannot impose additional permits or inspections on compliant devices, clarifying they are distinct from larger solar systems.
