Idaho Bills

Amends and adds to existing law to exempt portable solar generators from public utilities.

Plug In Solar has been used in Europe for several years, and is beginning to be used in the United States. This product consists of several mobile solar panels with devices that allow them to be used with residential or small business electrical systems. The units appear to range in price from less than $1000 up to $6000. This legislation makes changes to Idaho utility law to require basic safety features including a UL certification, an exemption so that the products can be used without an agreement or permission of the service provider (utility), and liability protection for the service provider (utility). The legislation is the same as Utah House H 340 that was passed unanimously in 2025 by the Utah Legislature. Utah was the first to act and legislation is now pending in 22 states.
