United Kingdom

What we cover for the United Kingdom. UK energy and home-technology rules differ enough from the rest of Europe that we keep them separate rather than translating someone else’s guidance and hoping it applies.

Everything here is written against UK regulations and cites the primary source — GOV.UK, the IET, the Energy Networks Association — rather than other people’s summaries.

Topics

  • Plug-in solar — balcony and wall-mounted panels you connect yourself. Now lawful to use in the UK for compliant products, since 27 August 2026.
  • Water — tap water quality: PFAS guidance versus EU law, and hardness.
