Utah HB 340 Plug-In Solar: What It Allows and How to Get Started
Utah House Bill 340 (2025) lets Utah homeowners and renters generate and backfeed up to 1,200 watts into their home without waiting for utility approval. Instead of weeks or months to get a net metering setup approved, a plug-in system can be up and running in under an hour. You can read the bill text on the Utah Legislature website.
What You Need
- Solar panels: a few panels sized to your inverter.
- A plug-in microinverter: such as the EcoFlow STREAM or an APsystems EZ1 microinverter, with a grid-tied output of up to 1,200 watts AC.
- A standard outlet: the system plugs into a regular 120V outlet in your home.
Ready-Made Kits
The easiest way to start is a kit that already includes matched panels and a microinverter. Our Utah House Bill 340 Plugin Solar Kit pairs four 400 watt panels with a 1,200W AC EcoFlow STREAM microinverter. You can also see our APsystems plug-and-play microinverter and the full range of inverters and solar panels.
How Much Can You Save?
Many of our customers who pair a plug-in microinverter with three or four panels report saving roughly $15 to $20 per month on their electric bill, so the system pays for itself within a couple of years. Your savings depend on your power rates and how much sun your panels get.
Renters and Small Spaces
Plug-in solar is a good fit if you rent an apartment or cannot do a full rooftop installation, because there is no wiring work and you can take the system with you.
