OR HB4080

Retail electricity consumers may install and use portable solar photovoltaic energy devices with up to 1,200 watts total generating capacity, requiring only a declaration filed with the electric utility—no utility approval, interconnection agreement, or fees permitted

Portable solar devices must be moveable, connect through standard 120-volt outlets, include safety features preventing backfeed during outages, and be listed by Underwriters Laboratories or equivalent testing organization

Landlords, homeowners associations, and condominium associations cannot prohibit or restrict these devices unless installation would violate building codes, manufacturer safety guidelines, damage premises, or exceed electrical capacity

Electric utilities receive liability immunity for losses or injuries caused by consumer-installed portable solar devices

Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services may amend state building code to address installation requirements; provisions become operative January 1, 2027
