The bipartisan bill approved by the state legislature on Tuesday now goes to Governor Gavin Newsom, who has until Sept. 30 to sign it into law. Newsom hasn’t taken a position on the legislation and his office declined to comment. If he does enact the bill, California will become the ninth state to legalize plug-in solar since 2025.

The ones I looked at had couple of plugs on the controller to plug things directly, that would keep running off solar/battery in case of outage, which is nice to at least cover essentials like fridge/freezer.
