Legal launch of solar plug and play in the UK today........... Monsoon levels of rain all day :roll: :roll: :roll: :mrgreen:


DNO for house use.... not one site available with microinverters on their systems to register their use :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:


It's as if the electric companies don't want people to save money :tinfoil :tinfoil :tinfoil

And that many rules about siting panels and open for interpretation internet's off mad with you can't put them.on wooden fences or wooden shed roofs but they word they use is dwelling house is a building, or a part of a building, that is used or intended to be used as a private home or place of human habitation


If it gets clarified and it's a no no £60 I'll tin the shed roof I dont live or sleep in the shed unless I upset Mrs Andy :lol:

Spend £500 to save £100 year off lecky bill ?, that’s £2 a week big deal, can’t buy a coffee for that.

A Jackery 500 and solar panel much cheaper and more useful (mobile), jackery 1000 better but dearer.

Well someone I know... has made over £250 of leccy in 2 years with what was 2x415w panels (£120 for the pair 2 year ago) and £100 on a power stream plug in inverter

These new to the market complete systems are vastly inflated and they've needled the DNOs to remove approval for older units ... All political and point scoring these older units are legal all over most of Europe
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine
