11,UK plug in solar.
Installation of plug-in solar will be allowed in the UK in ten days time. However none of the small number of solar inverters that have applied for permission to connect has gained approval from the regulator ENA. This is an astonishing situation and everybody installing plug-in solar will be breaching connection rules. Our work on these kits suggests some inverters will frequently trip out because of the typically higher voltages on local distribution networks in the UK compared to the rest of Europe. The inverters are not designed for the 250+ volts seen on
some UK connections when nearby solar rooftops are producing large amounts of electricity. (Thanks very much to Nikos Dimitriadis and Adrian Arbib for their excellent work on this topic).Well, you couldn’t make that up, although clicking the link I note only 3 devices have applied and been found non-compliant.
