  Solarbank 4 Pro is a solar battery designed for plug-in. Under current UK regulations, installation requires hardwired connection by a qualified electrician — but that also means a full 2,500W output to your home.<br><br>Will it ever outperform a full size professionally installed system? Of course not. But this fills a space in the market that was previously inaccessible for renewables.

  We have them for years here in germany and no they&apos;re not dangerous there is just a massiv lobby that doesn&apos;t like the concept.

  It&apos;s good to see another electrician support this. Too many are against a technology that has been proven to work for a long time in another country, just to protect their own interests.

  Every new home in the UK should have solar as standard.

  It’s quite common to see better DIY work than “professional”.<br>One wants a good system to work for years safely, the other just wants to grab the money.

  this reminds me of HVAC technicians here in the US who complain about mini split air conditioners that take quick connect fittings.

  I’m sure the energy lobby had something to do with the delay in the uk

  They haven&apos;t updated the rules for Northern Ireland yet for plug in solar, but this year I began using a solar generator box and 2 panels and have reduced my bill from £440 a quarter to £145, I haven&apos;t connected to mains but I swapped all the lighting in my house to rechargeable bulbs and charge them from my box and I run my TV etc at night directly from the box, the only electric I pay for is generally just appliances in the kitchen, it has been life changing and a fun hobby, you feel like your beating the system.

  Cory, you are showing a very big hearted and grown up view of this stuff and that is much to be admired. You are quite right ..... this solution in the UK is for those customers who are not in your segment at all! It&apos;s a great pity that many UK electricians are taklng such a mean spirited view of the potential and artificially inflating the safety risks?

  Interesting indeed, Cory. Down here in Australia we&apos;ve the highest solar penetration in the world, and the govt &quot;cheaper batteries program&quot; has seen 500,000 home batteries installed in just over a year. Balcony solar is being discussed a lot lately. The Everything Electric&quot; show is on in Sydney in a few weeks. I&apos;ll be interested to hear it discussed in some of the talks. &nbsp;Cheers
