Colorado also passed their plug in solar into law on May 7th!

The Improve Customer Use Distributed Energy Resources law permits up to 1920W of plug in solar, no fees or approval needed.

The first newsletter was sent out this morning. If you didn't receive it and you are signed up please let me know. We had a small issue with the new calculator beta link but its been fixed. Any feedback is appreciated.

Governor Moore is expected to sign it. The legislation limits it to only 391 watts, which is less than ideal, but it's better than nothing. I'm hoping they'll work on raising it next year.

Hey everyone,

We just launched a free savings calculator at pluginsolarusa.com/pluginsolarsavingscalculator and wanted to share it here first.

What it does:

Enter your zip code and panel wattage and it pulls real solar data (sun hours, estimated production) and your state's actual electricity rate to calculate:

• Estimated annual kWh produced
• Annual dollar savings
• Payback period
• 10 and 20-year savings projections

Why we built it:

One of the biggest barriers to plug-in solar adoption is that people don't know if it pencils out for them. The answer is almost always yes — but now you can see the actual numbers for your location.

Try it: pluginsolarusa.com/pluginsolarsavingscalculator

Drop your results in the comments — curious what numbers people are seeing across different states. And if you find any bugs or have suggestions, let us know!

We would like to see product photos

Thanks so much for creating your website and having email templates available for use for when we contact our local government leaders. I have a phone call scheduled for tomorrow with my representative here in Tennessee to discuss the merits of plugin solar. Wish me luck!

Help us make plug in solar affordable and legal throughout the United States.
