Defines "portable solar generation device"; exempts such devices from interconnection or net metering requirements.

This bill defines a "portable solar generation device" as a photovoltaic system that meets specific criteria, including being listed or certified by an accredited testing laboratory and having a maximum output of 1,200 watts. It exempts these devices from interconnection or net metering requirements, meaning any energy exported to the utility grid is uncompensated unless the customer voluntarily enters a net metering agreement. The bill also mandates that the state energy conservation construction code allow these devices to be connected to a building's wiring through an electrical outlet.
