Is Plug-In Solar Legal in Ohio?

Gray area   Avg rate ~16¢/kWh

No explicit plug-in rules; deregulated supply means policies vary. Confirm with your distribution utility (AEP, FirstEnergy, Duke).

Before you buy in Ohio

Call your electric utility and ask: (1) do they allow small plug-in / behind-the-meter grid-tied solar, and (2) is any notification or interconnection form required? Stay within the wattage they specify, use a UL-listed microinverter, and keep written confirmation.

Then estimate your numbers with our savings calculator (pre-loaded with Ohio's rate).
