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.

Unanimous vote in state House, and 35-1 in state Senate. Pretty sure Governor will sign it.

It's a relatively small amount of power, but they pay for themselves in just a few years if you get a system cheap enough. The more expensive your power and the more you can shift your usage to daylight hours, the faster it'll pay off.
