Bill awaiting signature

Is plug-in solar legal in New York?

Not yet. S 8512 / A 9111 has passed the legislature and is waiting on the governor's signature. It becomes law only when signed, and applies only from its effective date; we will add the cite and the date here the day it does. Until then your utility's rules for small customer generators apply, and most have a simple notification or interconnection form for systems this size. Ask before you plug in. We don't ship kits here yet (below), but the approval pack works here too, its letters leaning on certification and mounting instead of a statute.

Kits in New York

We don't ship kits to New York yet. New York's plug-in bill, if it is signed, requires the whole system to be certified to UL 3700, and no kit on the market has that yet.
