Summary

The bill adds a new standard to the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act requiring each state to consider measures that make portable solar generators easier to use, such as waiving interconnection agreements and utility fees. It creates a Department of Energy grant program that can give states up to $100 million per year for point‑of‑sale rebates of up to $1,000 for low‑ and moderate‑income households, with a domestic‑content requirement. The FTC and CPSC are tasked with a voluntary savings label and a safety standard for these devices.
