There are some companies providing plug-in solar kits in the UK: see plug-in solar co uk. But anyone can just buy solar PVs, microinverters, and plug to a socket. It’s not rocket science.
Yes but not really plug and play see notice "You can install ALL the kit until the final connection (this will need to be performed by an electrician who will need to install a circuit breaker on a dedicated circuit)"
@@evdabbler nah… you just plug it to an RCD-protected socket or a socket connected to a main electric board that’s RCD protecting all sockets and with obviously circuit breakers which most are equipped with anyway nowadays. In truth, with current panels, you are very unlikely to overload the 10-13A rating of that socket anyway. With this set up, the solar generation is grid tied so if there’s a power cut, then the microinverters stop working as they don’t receive any signal to sync to. This protects people working on the grid side if need be.
@@Nikoo033 we re back to what i was saying on the video though, it s not that it s more dangerous in the UK of course, but still you are not meeting the code of conduct/electric certification standards in the UK hence why they are not sold with a socket as proper "plug and play"
@@Nikoo033 Just because you can do it doesn't mean it's allowed. While the police won't be knocking on your door to confiscate your plug and play solar PV system, if it results in damage to your house or the electricity network you could be liable.
Interesting! Don't have time to go to these shows but nice to have a summary. 👍

@@Stuffandstuff-999 millions of these systems used in mainland Europe. I am yet to see any damage done to anything but bills 😂
