Overview
This bill aims to regulate the use of small, portable solar panels in Alaska. It exempts devices under 1,200 watts that meet specific safety standards (National Electrical Code) and are certified by a recognized testing lab from typical utility interconnection and net metering requirements. Utilities cannot require approval, fees, or additional equipment for these devices, and are not liable for damages caused by them. The bill defines a ‘portable solar generation device’ as a moveable solar panel designed to offset a customer’s electricity consumption.
