Until you can plug a solar panel into a normal socket in Britain.

SunSocket works out what your balcony, wall or garden can actually generate, checks the kit is legal, files the paperwork nobody tells you about — then runs your washing machine when the sun is out.

Three questions Britain can't currently answer

Is this kit actually legal to use?

ENA G98 Type Test Register

Kits are already being advertised that can't lawfully be plugged in. We check the register before you buy.

Who am I supposed to tell about it?

Engineering Recommendation G98

Your network operator, within 28 days, on a form most people never find. We file it for you.

Will my landlord let me?

Renters' Rights Act 2025

Tenants can now request improvements like this, but consent is still needed. We write the letter and track the reply.

Around five million UK households live in flats, and millions more rent. Rooftop solar was never going to reach them. From 27 August, something else can — if the paperwork doesn't stop them first.
