- Worth noticing
- The tracker sorts bills into six statuses and shows a 1,200 W standard cap, with Colorado listed at 1,920 W.
Field notes
The tracker’s status categories distinguish enacted laws from proposals that are advancing, stalled, defeated, awaiting action, or absent. The calculator exposes assumptions that can materially change the result, including an 800 W example system, panel orientation, mounting, and the share of output consumed at home; it labels estimates and points readers to its methodology.
