On Thursday, Gov. Kelly Ayotte signed a bill establishing guidelines in New Hampshire law for the use of portable, socket-compatible solar devices.

The technology has seen broad adoption in Germany, where it is hailed as a democratizing and renter-friendly form of solar power. Smaller and typically cheaper than a standard rooftop array, some models may be installed at a standard wall outlet. But the features that make this form of solar energy accessible also create certain safety concerns that legislators said Senate Bill 540 was intended to address.
