Industry bodies urge caution on plug-in solar panels

Leading electrical industry bodies, including the Electrical Contractors’ Association (ECA), are warning that plug-in solar PV units should not be widely introduced until robust safety, regulatory, and technical frameworks are established to protect consumers and the electricity network. The ECA, Electrical Safety First (ESF), the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), NICEIC, and SELECT have issued a statement making it clear that public safety must be the first principle in any rollout of plug-in solar PV units. Whilst the organisations support wider access to cheap and clean energy, they believe these products should only enter the mass market once the necessary regulatory, technical, and product safety framework is fully in place. Without that foundation, they say there is a serious risk of avoidable hazards in homes, uncertainty for the electricity system, and lasting damage to public confidence in the energy transition. Public safety considerations The organisations note that it remains unclear how plug-in solar panels will interact with the millions of existing electrical installations in UK homes. A product marketed as simple and consumer-friendly could in practice be connected to electrical installations that were never assessed for this type of product. In such cases, there could be an increased risk of fire and danger to life due to the inability of the circuit to deal with the importation of power. The organisations note six public safety issues: 1. Bi-directional flow Plug-in solar PV units operate differently to the conventional appliance plugged into an electrical installation. Rather than just supplying power to an appliance, with plug-in PV units, the installation now has to import power, meaning that power flow is in both directions. This introduces technical issues that leave most homeowners unaware of the dangers. With electrical sources being applied to what we often refer to as the ‘load side’ of protective devices, Amendment 3:2024 to BS 7671:2024 addressed this very issue. Under certain conditions, the RCD, a key protective device in the home’s consumer unit, can be compromised. It may be possible to reset, but the protective device may not operate as normal. This could be dangerous as the assumed protection will not be active. 2. Fire risk Over 50% of UK housing stock is more than a century old. These properties may have old, damaged, or deteriorating electrical wiring, unfit to carry extra load. Without a proper electrical assessment, it is unwise to add a plug-in solar PV unit and is indeed contrary to existing British Standards, i.e. clause 5 of BS 1363-1. Plug-in solar PV units, especially multiple units, can increase the risk of localised overheating of cables. 3. Inconsistent and dangerous product standards The Government has announced that plug-in solar panels will be made available quickly, but if products reach the retail market before a robust and enforceable UK standard is fully embedded, consumers may be exposed to inconsistent quality, unclear compliance requirements, and unsafe imports. 4. Grid capacity is vital to network resilience One of the central safeguards in the UK electricity system is that new electricity-generating technologies are introduced in a way that network operators can monitor and manage. Industry advice has long been that new installations such as solar PV units and EV chargepoints should be notified to the local DNO because cumulative demand and generation affect local network capacity and stability. If plug-in solar PV units are normalised as an off-the-shelf consumer purchase without a clear notification and oversight regime, visibility of what is connected to the system will be reduced at the very point when visibility matters most. The electrical industry recommends that clear guidance is given to consumers to notify the DNO, before a device becomes operational. 5. Liability and insurance questions remain unresolved There are also serious unanswered questions about insurance and liability. If a fire or electrical fault is linked to a plug-in solar PV unit, it is not yet clear how insurers will assess cover where the product was self-installed, not declared in advance, or connected to an unsuitable electrical installation. Consumers should not be encouraged to adopt these products before they fully understand the consequences, potentially leaving landlords, leaseholders, and insurers to manage the fallout. 6. Daisy-chaining Consumers, seeking convenience, may use extension leads, adaptors, or multiple devices on the same circuit. Improvised installations significantly increase the likelihood of overheating and fire, as well as creating trip and fall hazards from trailing cables. A low upfront cost must not override safety The appeal of plug-in solar PV units is obvious: low cost, visible, and quick to deploy. But affordability alone is not a sound basis where electrical safety is concerned. If cost becomes the dominant driver, there is a danger that quality assurance, competent installation, enforcement, and consumer protection will be treated as optional rather than essential. A poorly regulated bargain product may reduce bills in the short term, but it can also transfer risk onto households, emergency services, insurers, network operators and, ultimately, the Government. A rushed rollout could potentially weaken confidence in the energy transition. The electrotechnical industry advocates innovation and recognises the potential role that new technologies can play in expanding access to cleaner energy, but plug-in solar PV units should not be rolled out unless and until the supporting framework is in place: clear product standards, robust enforcement, competent installation pathways, appropriate consumer guidance, and a mechanism to protect both householders and the electricity distribution network.

Allume launches SolShare 2 for shared solar installations

Cleantech company Allume Energy has launched SolShare 2, the latest version of its shared solar technology designed to connect a single rooftop solar PV system directly to multiple flats. Available to UK installers from August 2026, the updated device introduces increased capacity, expanded battery integration capabilities, and installation improvements aimed at apartment blocks and multi-occupancy residential developments. The technology is designed for both retrofit and new-build projects, enabling multiple dwellings to share electricity generated from a single rooftop solar array without requiring an inverter in each individual property. SolShare 2 supports up to 15 connections and increases system capacity from 20kW to 30kW, providing additional flexibility for larger installations. According to Allume, more than 10,000 homes globally have used SolShare technology since its introduction, with UK deployments dating back to 2021. Battery integration and apartment buildings A key feature of SolShare 2 is support for communal battery storage systems, which can be installed in dedicated plant rooms or external locations rather than within individual flats. The company says this approach addresses practical and regulatory challenges associated with installing batteries inside residential apartments. The updated platform connects to battery storage via ethernet and is designed to work with a range of solar PV and battery technologies. The system also enables residents to export electricity to the grid, while grid-charging functionality is expected to be added in the future. According to Allume, a recent solar and battery installation serving 24 flats in Cardiff reduced grid energy consumption by between 60% and 70%. Cameron Knox, CEO and co-founder of Allume Energy, says, "Coming from Australia, with one in three of our homes having rooftop solar, we've seen how powerful it can be when you combine solar with battery storage. "Even with volatile global energy prices, power bills are set to fall in parts of Australia this year thanks to a record number of batteries being added to the grid. "Until now, compliance and regulations have made it all but impossible to install these integrated solar and battery systems in flats, but SolShare 2 changes that. "The system responds to the feedback we’ve had from installers across the UK, which has seen our teams comprehensively redesign the hardware, making the systems even easier and faster to install. "Combined with the Government’s ambitious targets and funding into green energy, the update opens the doors to flats to benefit from solar and batteries. We’re excited to be playing a part in brightening up Britain’s energy mix." Projects demonstrate shared solar approach At Odet Court in Cardiff, Wales & West Housing installed the technology as part of a solar and battery project serving residents in a multi-occupancy building. Joanna Davoile, Executive Director (Assets) at Wales & West Housing, says, "The SolShare system seems to be a much fairer solution as the energy generated by the building can be shared equally to help our residents keep their electricity costs down rather than going back to the grid." A separate project at Scott Court in Dundee saw Hillcrest and Allume Energy install shared solar arrays using ECO4 funding to improve EPC ratings and reduce tenants' energy bills. David Conway, Head of Asset Management at Hillcrest, notes, "This project stands as a shining example of what can be achieved through innovation, perseverance, and partnership. "At Hillcrest Homes, we are incredibly proud to have been part of a project that not only overcame significant planning and architectural challenges but also delivered life-changing benefits to our tenants. "The installation has helped bring modern energy efficiency to a historic, listed building. "Many of our tenants at Scott Court have already reported noticeable savings on their energy costs, with some saying they’re topping up their pre-payment meters far less frequently. This is a real and tangible step forward in our mission to tackle fuel poverty." The housing association says it is exploring opportunities to deploy similar systems across its wider housing portfolio following the project.

It features a variable speed trigger and four power modes that alter the speed, impacts per minute, and torque for easy adjustment to the type of fastener and material. It also has a T mode to reduce the risk of screw stripping when driving self-drilling screws (Tek screws) into metal sheets. The brushless motor of the TD004G reduces wasted energy and improves power delivery compared with a conventional brushed motor. This means longer runtimes on a single charge and fewer interruptions to swap and charge the battery. For ease of use, the TD004G features one-touch tool-less bit change with reduced resistance for easier fitting, and twin led job lights with pre-glow and after-glow functions for better visibility of the workpiece. Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita, comments, “This latest addition to our range of 40VMax XGT impact drivers has been designed to help achieve greater speed and efficiency on the most demanding fixing and fastening tasks. This, alongside its simple power adjustment based on the job at hand, makes the TD004G a valuable addition to many professionals’ kit.” For more from Makita, click here.

Zumtobel supplies lighting upgrade to Telford school

Hadley Learning Community Secondary School in Telford has completed a classroom lighting refurbishment, replacing ageing fluorescent luminaires with a bespoke LED system from Zumtobel Lighting, an Austrian company specialising in professional indoor and outdoor lighting. The project was designed to improve classroom lighting quality, reduce energy consumption, and extend the lifespan of the school's existing ceiling infrastructure, whilst also avoiding the need for major alterations to teaching spaces. The upgrades form part of a £70 million campus development by Hadley Learning Community, which provides education for pupils aged three to 16. Facilities management at the site is delivered by Mitie Engineering. As the existing fluorescent lighting technology neared the end of its lifecycle, the school sought an upgrade that would modernise the classroom environments while retaining the suspended raft ceilings already installed throughout the building. A bespoke LED design Mitie worked with Zumtobel to develop a replacement system capable of meeting glare control requirements, reducing connected load, and integrating with the existing raft luminaires. The brief also called for tunable white lighting and variable output functionality to support different teaching activities and learning environments. To create a suitable replacement, an existing fluorescent cassette was removed and sent to Zumtobel's Custom Product team in Spennymoor. Working alongside project stakeholders, the team then developed a bespoke LED cassette designed to match the dimensions of the original fitting while improving lighting performance. A sample unit was installed and assessed on site before the wider rollout, allowing the project team to evaluate glare control, light distribution, and installation requirements. The final design uses a custom LED cassette with an opal diffuser, delivering 4,024 lumens at 35W and an efficacy of 115lm/W. Tunable white controls allow teachers to adjust colour temperature and light levels to suit different classroom activities. Emergency lighting variants were also incorporated to maintain a consistent appearance throughout the learning spaces. By retaining the existing raft ceiling infrastructure, the project reportedly reduced installation complexity and minimised disruption to teaching areas. A focus on energy efficiency and student wellbeing According to the project partners, the refurbishment has reduced connected load and lowered the site's carbon impact, whilst also improving visual comfort for pupils and staff. The tunable white functionality is intended to support wellbeing by allowing lighting conditions to be adjusted throughout the day to suit different learning environments. Kevin Evans of Mitie Engineering says, "This project required a solution that balanced performance, wellbeing, and practicality. "Zumtobel Lighting’s custom approach allowed us to retain the existing ceiling design while delivering a modern, efficient lighting upgrade that meets both operational and educational needs. "The collaborative development process made installation straightforward and ensured the client’s expectations were fully met." The project, the companies state, demonstrates how existing educational facilities can be upgraded with LED lighting while retaining key building features and reducing disruption during installation.
