Utah lawmakers unanimously approve German-style balcony solar
Up to 1200w can be back-fed into the 120v sockets in normal homes. No net metering or other permission required, as long as it meets UL/NEC standards.

Giving people CONTROL of Their Energy without having to PAY Energy Companies? That's SOCIALISM!
Your woke electricity is turning the grid gay
And in UTAH of all places
Nice.
This is super cool, just unfortunate timing since our president is an idiot and the price of these systems is sure to skyrocket. Costco was selling them last summer for a very tempting price, pre-trade war.
Technically, like the article says, there aren't currently any models available that comply, but I'd bet Anker and Ecoflow are already tweaking their German models to operate on 120v.
But yeah, with the tariffs they'll probably double/triple in price
