Balcony Solar in Georgia
Georgia's HB 1304 would have covered portable solar generation devices. It was held in the House Energy Committee and died for the session.
Reviewed August 6, 2026 against primary sources. Laws change — the sources below let you re-check.
Did Georgia's bill require UL 3700?
No — the bill does not name UL 3700.
Per the bill summary, required certification by UL or an NRTL (Georgia's site blocks automated fetch, so wording is secondary). Does not name UL 3700.
Why this matters: “certified by UL” names an organization; “certified to UL 3700” names a plug-in-PV standard. They are not the same claim. Full explainer →
What's still unsettled
- Held in committee; dead for the session.
- Certification wording is secondary-sourced.
Before you buy in Georgia
This bill did not pass, so there is no plug-in-solar-specific law in Georgia right now — the state's default utility and electrical rules apply. And regardless, no plug-in kit sold in the US carries UL 3700 yet. What "UL 3700 certified" really means →
