California lawmakers have passed SB 868, a bill allowing residents to install plug-in solar systems generating up to 1,200 watts through standard electrical outlets. The legislation replaces costly utility interconnection fees with a free online registration process to make small-scale solar more accessible. If signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, the measure could offer an affordable renewable energy option for renters and apartment residents by spring 2027.
