Our position while the rules are unsettled

Why we won't tell you plug-in solar is legal yet, list any product as UK-compliant, or publish invented reviews, prices or specifications.

At a glance

  • No product is listed as UK-compliant — and won't be until the law allows it.
  • No fabricated reviews, ratings, prices or specifications.
  • Specifications come from manufacturer documentation, or are left blank.

MyPlugInSolar is an independent information site. While the UK rules are still being decided, we have set some firm limits on what we will publish, and it is worth being explicit about them.

We will not tell you plug-in solar is legal to use in the UK, because it is not yet. We track real products that exist in other markets, but we will not label any of them “UK compliant” until there is a legal framework and the evidence to support it.

We do not publish invented reviews, ratings, prices or specifications. Where we show a specification it comes from the manufacturer’s own documentation; anything we cannot source, we leave blank rather than guess.

When the rules change, we will update our guidance and product assessments accordingly. Until then, see our editorial policy and the current UK legal status for the detail behind these choices.
