Plug-in solar is emerging as a new category of distributed energy in the United States, offering a simpler pathway for households to generate electricity using small photovoltaic systems designed for connection to residential electrical systems without the complexity of a traditional rooftop solar installation.
This introductory webinar will explain how plug-in solar systems work, the major system components and safety features, the emerging role of standards such as UL 3700 and nationally recognized testing laboratory certification, and the rapidly evolving state regulatory landscape. The presenters will examine how states are approaching system-size limits, utility interconnection, permitting, registration, installation, and consumer protections, as well as the economics and resilience benefits of small-scale solar. The course will also place plug-in solar within the broader distributed-energy landscape and explain how requirements change as systems grow from small plug-in devices to whole-home and larger distributed energy systems.
Speaker is the creator of , an education and policy platform focused on advancing understanding of plug-in and balcony solar in the United States.
