Requires Commissioner of Community Affairs to amend or supplement State Uniform Construction Code concerning use of balcony solar panel systems.
S 4786 requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Community Affairs to create new safety guidelines for installing small, plug-in solar panels on balconies. These guidelines will cover both systems designed for U.S. use and those needing modification to work safely with New Jersey's electrical systems. The Commissioner must add these guidelines to the State Uniform Construction Code or amend existing electrical rules. This ensures homeowners can safely install these systems without connecting to the power grid.
