@hembrow@todon.eu @Wen@mastodon.scot @Sustainable2050 This is sunk cost fallacy gone completely mad!

Unfortunately plug-in/balcony solar isn’t legal in the UK at this point. There has been talk of legalising it but I don’t think any of it has made it into law.

        @EF @sam @hembrow I know that in the UK, the inverter needs to be a separate unit - I believe the small ones in the German systems are not approved for use in the UK. There is an interesting, if brief discussion here of fitting in a British home

          @Wen @sam @hembrow thanks for the reply and linl. Interestingly, the inverter on the Renew site looked (visually) the same to the Dutch link posted earlier but do get standalone inverters will likely not have the relevant technologies to directly connect to a third party supply.

          So syncing to the mains and inverter approval seemed to be the issues mentioned. Sounds interesting.
