States That Have a Plug-In Law
In 10 states a law has passed that allows a certified kit under the cap to plug in, so you don't need a utility agreement; 4 of these laws take effect later. Each law words its cap differently, so we take whichever is larger, the panels' total or the inverter's output (800 W here), and check it against that cap. Then we check the listing the law names.
