Plug-in solar in New York
Passed, awaiting governor
Not yet. New York's plug-in solar bill (A 9111-C / S 8512-C) has passed the legislature and is waiting for the governor.
What this means for you
Without a plug-in solar law, connecting a panel to an outlet usually falls under your utility's normal interconnection rules. Before you buy, ask your utility what it requires, and if you rent or live in an HOA, ask your landlord or association too.
You can still measure your balcony with Sunperch to see whether it's worth it, so you're ready if New York passes a law.
