All home energy equipment covered on this site, including solar panels, battery storage systems, inverter generators and portable power stations, involves electrical components. Incorrect installation or use can cause fire, injury or damage to property.

Before purchasing or installing any home energy system, you should consult a qualified electrician. This applies in particular to any equipment connected to your home's wiring, consumer unit or distribution board. The guides on Gemshore Power are written for informational purposes only and do not constitute electrical advice.

Domestic micro-generation installations in the UK must comply with relevant British Standards and wiring regulations. The Microgeneration Certification Scheme sets quality and safety standards for installed renewable energy systems. Always check whether your installer holds MCS certification before proceeding.

UK electrical safety standards exist to protect homeowners and their properties from the risks associated with poorly installed or substandard energy equipment.

Connecting any generation equipment to the UK electricity grid requires formal notification and approval. You must notify your Distribution Network Operator before connecting solar panels or any other micro-generation equipment that feeds power back to the grid. Your Distribution Network Operator handles this process under the G98 procedure for systems up to 3.68kW per phase.

Plug-in solar regulations in the UK are currently changing. Until the relevant BSI standard is published, the guidance on this site covers off-grid and standalone use only. We do not advise connecting any equipment to the ring main without first confirming the legal position with a qualified electrician and your DNO.
