New Hampshire Law Enables Homeowners to Use 'Balcony' Solar Panels for Energy Savings
A new law in New Hampshire, effective January 1, 2027, allows homeowners to install 'balcony solar' panels, exempting them from utility interconnection requirements and net metering provisions. The law, sponsored by state Sen. David Watters, aims to make solar energy more accessible and affordable for residents. It defines 'portable solar generation devices' and mandates updates to building codes to accommodate these systems. The initiative is part of a broader effort to promote renewable energy and reduce electricity costs for consumers. However, experts caution that users must understand the technology and safety requirements to avoid potential risks.
