Field notes
The page lays out a three-step proposal: assess the renter’s spot, assemble a complete request for the property owner, then install only with agreement and suitable equipment. It says qualifying devices face a 1,200-watt cap under SB 868, and describes the utility-interconnection exemption as temporary, scheduled to end January 1, 2030 unless extended. Separate renter and owner surveys are linked; the proposed process is still research, not a live service.
