6:49 PMNew Jersey Residents Can Now Use Plug-in Solar Panels Under New Law New Jersey residents will have an easier path to using portable solar panels to generate electricity at home under legislation signed Tuesday by Gov. Mikie Sherrill. The Garden State Balcony Solar Act exempts qualifying plug-in solar devices of up to 1,200 watts from certain utility interconnection and metering requirements, including some fees, approvals and equipment mandates. The devices, commonly known as balcony solar panels, can be plugged into a standard 120-volt outlet and use a microinverter and adapter to feed electricity into a home’s existing electrical system. The electricity generated can offset household energy use and potentially reduce utility bills.
