California is the tenth state to legalize plug-in solar.
Residents can now easily install up to 1200W of solar panels without utility pre-approval. The DIY kits popular in Europe start at around $300 and feed the sun’s energy back into the home through standard wall outlets. More expensive kits with battery storage can help save even more money and provide backup power during a blackout. Either way, they should pay for themselves quickly in the state with the highest residential electricity rates.
