Plug-in solar: Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994 (PSSR) amendment and Interim Product Specification
Overview
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) is consulting on proposals to enable the safe and legal use of plug-in solar (plug-in microgeneration) products in the United Kingdom. The aim is to allow consumers to connect plug-in solar panels (without batteries) directly to a standard mains socket, provided products meet defined safety requirements. This would represent a new, accessible route for households to generate their own electricity, helping reduce energy bills and supporting wider clean power objectives.
