VA HB395

Defines "small portable solar generation device" as a moveable photovoltaic device with maximum output of 1,200 watts per dwelling unit that connects through an electrical outlet, meets National Electrical Code standards, and includes automatic shutoff during power outages.

Prohibits localities from banning small portable solar generation devices on residential structures, provided devices comply with local height, setback, and historic district requirements.

Requires landlords owning more than four rental units in Virginia to allow tenants to install small portable solar devices on the exterior of their premises, though landlords may set reasonable restrictions on size, placement, and manner of installation.

Mandates tenants provide seven days' written notice to landlords before installing such devices, with documentation that the device meets legal requirements; tenants bear responsibility for any damages caused by their devices.

Excludes small portable solar generation devices from existing net energy metering program definitions, treating them separately from larger eligible customer-generator facilities.
