New Hampshire signs law regulating portable 'plug-in solar' devices, joining growing state trend

New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte signed a bill establishing legal guidelines for portable, socket-compatible solar devices (often called "plug-in solar"). These devices are smaller and cheaper than standard rooftop solar arrays and can be plugged into standard wall outlets. The technology has seen widespread adoption in Germany, where it's viewed as a democratizing and renter-friendly solar option. New Hampshire joins a growing number of states creating regulatory frameworks for this emerging solar technology.
