New Jersey is enacted, effective around March 2027. Connecticut’s rules are now in effect. Individual source-review dates vary. Unchanged entries retain their earlier review dates; deferred and no-law entries were not all independently re-verified.
Is plug-in solar allowed in your state?
Find your state below to see whether its dedicated plug-in-solar framework is in effect, enacted for a later date, awaiting a governor, still pending, or no longer advancing. Every entry links to its sources. Read the status, effective dates, and size limit together, and always confirm current rules before you buy. This is informational research, not legal advice.
Enacted frameworks with future or phased provisions; check each date.
Passed both chambers; no signature recorded. This does not establish delivery to the governor.
Introduced or in committee. A pending proposal is not permission to install.
Proposals that did not advance, failed, or lost their plug-in-solar provisions.
No dedicated statewide plug-in-solar statute was found in this review.
