What's happening
What is changing for plug-in solar in Canada and around the world. Every entry links to its source.
MPP Peter Tabuns introduced the Plug into the Sun Act, 2026 on October 29, and it passed first reading. The bill would have Ontario set up an advisory committee on how to introduce plug-in solar safely.
The Electrical Safety Authority will accept plug-in solar equipment certified to UL 3700 until the Canadian standard is published. A kit must plug into a dedicated outlet on a suitable circuit. A kit plugged into an existing household outlet is not accepted in Ontario.
