Connecticut clears no-permit plug-in solar, but kits may not exist yet
Original: Connecticut will allow no-permit plug-in solar, but the 1,200-watt kits may not exist yet
Connecticut has moved to allow residents to install plug-in solar panels of up to 1,200 watts without a permit, a step meant to cut red tape and make small-scale home solar easier to adopt. The catch is that certified kits meeting that wattage threshold may not yet be on the market, so the rule could precede the products it is meant to cover.
Why now: New state rules on permit-free solar are drawing attention because they promise easier home clean energy but may outpace available products.
