Committee advances bill to make small plug‑in solar and battery systems more accessible while setting safety and notification rules Senator Grochowski’s amended LD 1730 would allow small plug‑in photovoltaic and battery devices (eligible systems) up to 420 watts without electrician installation or utility notification; combined inverter output above 420W (up to 1,200W) requires licensed electrician installation, a dedicated circuit and PUC notification. The committee voted 9‑2 in favor of an 'ought to pass as amended' report.

Maine is paving the way for energy independence by making it easier to install small solar and battery systems, ensuring safety while cutting red tape!
