One of the many ways New Jersey continues to prioritize homeowner flexibility: residents can now use portable plug-in solar panels under 1,200 watts—no utility approval, no metering required. This means it’s possible to save up to $50 each month, or $600 a year, just by plugging in. What’s more, if you’re renting, managing an estate, or dealing with association rules, state law ensures these panels can’t be banned or subjected to extra permitting. As someone who helps clients navigate every twist and turn of property transitions—from divorce to probate and beyond—I know how important practical, affordable solutions like this can be. It’s one more tool for protecting and enhancing the value of your home or investment, especially during life’s bigger transitions.
