Plug-in solar in Louisiana

No bill found Checked November 10, 2026

Note. We found no bill, but we have not yet searched this legislature's own bill database; see the notes.

We found no Louisiana bill on plug-in or balcony solar. Two independent trackers also list none. Without a state law, plug-in systems fall under your utility's own interconnection rules.

The rules

Louisiana has no enacted plug-in solar law. There are no state rules to list; your utility's interconnection rules apply.

What's next

We will add any bill introduced in the next session. Without a state law, ask your utility how it treats small plug-in systems before you buy.

What could it save?

For an 800 W panel kit at Louisiana's average residential price of 13.02¢/kWh (September 2025 – August 2026 (12 months)):

Ideal tilt (20°, south): 1,170 kWh a year: about $105 typical (69% used at home), up to $152 best case (100%)
Vertical railing (90°, south): 658 kWh a year: about $59 typical (69% used at home), up to $86 best case (100%)

"Typical" uses HTW Berlin's model for an 800 W system without a battery; exports are assumed to earn nothing. Solar data: NREL PVWatts for Baton Rouge (capital). Try your own numbers · Is it worth it? · Railing vs tilted
