The date for Plug In Solar has now been confirmed in law for 27th August 2026.

Plug In Solar Amendment SI 2026/848 comes into effect on 27 August 2026.  From that date, a fully compliant plug-in Solar kit (solar only, no Battery Storage), may legally be connected via a standard 13A socket in England, Wales and Scotland.

The Solar Kit must meet the government’s Interim Product Specification, with an approved plug and a Micro-Inverter verified on the ENA G98 Type Test Register.

These new regulations will allow up to 2,000W (2kW) of Solar PV power, connected to a Micro-Inverter with a maximum output of 800W.

Connecting Solar Panels with a larger rating than the Micro-Inverter is common practice in the UK and is known as the DC:AC Ratio.
