Complete·7/9/26

New Hampshire SB540 regulates plug-in solar generation systems, setting safety standards, installation requirements, and utility liability.

New Hampshire SB540 introduces regulations for plug-in solar generation systems, requiring certification by a nationally recognized testing laboratory and compliance with safety standards. It limits each metered customer to one system with a maximum inverter output of 1,200 watts AC. The bill mandates the Department of Energy to maintain a webpage with information for consumers regarding these systems. The building code review board must amend the state building code to address plug-in solar generation systems.
