This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding the use of portable solar generation devices. Under the new provisions, public power entities and public service corporations would be prohibited from requiring customers to obtain approval, pay fees, or install additional equipment when using these devices. Additionally, the bill clarifies that these entities would not be liable for damages resulting from a customer's operation of a portable solar generation device if power is disconnected by an electric utility.

The bill also defines "portable solar generation device" and outlines specific criteria that such devices must meet, including a maximum power output of 1,200 watts and compliance with national electrical standards. It distinguishes portable solar generation devices from other types of facilities, such as generating or distributed generation facilities, and mandates that these devices include safety features to prevent energizing the building's electrical system during power outages. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the use of portable solar technology while ensuring safety and compliance with existing regulations.
