Legal Status: Can You Plug In Solar in Wyoming?

Current Disposition: Balcony solar bill failed

Wyoming has no law either authorizing or restricting plug-in solar. HB 146 (2026) would have regulated small plug-in solar generation devices; the official digest records that it died in committee and was returned under House Rule 5-4 on March 3, 2026. Official Wyoming OData bill searches (api.wyoleg.gov) returned machine-checkable results for all seven balcony, plug-in, portable, solar, and photovoltaic phrases, confirming HB 146 was the only relevant measure. Wyoming publishes no queryable statute corpus, so an exhaustive existing-law sweep is not available.
