The new Future Homes Standard is set to be introduced by 2025 and the latest update for consultation was on the 19th of January 2021. The UK Government aims that all newly constructed and newly renovated buildings - domestic dwellings and other buildings - are highly energy-efficient. This will in turn reduce CO2 emissions which will help achieve ‘Net Zero’ by 2050.

SolarEdge: String Vs DC OptimisationThe SolarEdge DC-optimised solution splits a traditional string inverter system into two parts: the Power Optimiser and the inverter. The Power Optimisers are located on each module – or each pair of modules - turning them into intelligent modules and providing module-level tracking and real-time current and voltage adjustments in order to allow each panel to operate at its optimum point. This topology brings with it a number of advantages over a traditional string inverter solution. Here we explain those differences and how they impact performance, design, safety and value in solar PV systems.

The Loss of Mains changes have been designed to help prevent power outages by protecting generators from disturbances on the electricity network, and similarly, to protect the network from problems that may occur with a generator. They form a mandatory requirement for all grid-connected generators that comes into force on the 1st September 2022. Grants are available via the Accelerated Loss of Mains Change Programme, or ALoMCP, to help with the transition.
