The Utility Fees Bill
Indiana bill lets homeowners add plug‑in solar without utility fees
Plug-in home solar units.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would let you add a plug‑in solar panel to your home without permission or fees, but you could not sue the utility if it hurts you.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If the bill passes, families could save money by installing plug‑in solar without dealing with the utility. But the utility would be shielded from lawsuits, so any injuries or damage might fall on the homeowner.
