California Becomes Tenth State to Legalize Plug-in Solar Panels

California has become the tenth U.S. state to legalize plug-in solar panels, allowing residents to install up to 1200W of solar capacity without needing pre-approval from utility companies. These DIY kits are gaining popularity and start at around $300, enabling homeowners to harness solar energy through standard wall outlets. The move is expected to benefit consumers in California, which has the highest residential electricity rates in the country. More advanced plug-in systems with battery storage can provide additional savings and backup power during outages. EcoFlow offers a high-end weatherproof kit that includes an integrated battery for enhanced functionality.
