Illinois may revive plug-in solar this fall, giving homes without a rooftop a shot at lower bills
In this mention
Illinois lawmakers are expected to revive a bill this fall to legalize plug-in solar systems, which would allow renters and apartment dwellers without roof access to reduce electricity costs. The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy released a report comparing plug-in solar safety favorably to diesel generators. Safety concerns about backfeeding and electrical hazards had stalled the initial bill, but new product standards from UL Solutions and examples from other states may help address these concerns.
