Off-Grid Electricity in California

Off-grid electricity used to be illegal in California under Title 24.  The law required residential homes to have an “interconnection pathway.”  However, the law has recently been updated and now specifically allows off-grid electricity.

California is one of the best states for solar power.  As of 2020, all new homes up to three stories high must have a solar photovoltaic system installed.  The system must be able to meet all of the estimated annual energy consumption of the home.  The solar mandate also applies to accessory dwelling units (ADUs), so you’ll need solar panels on your “granny flat,” too.
