It does have a 6kw output for when there is no grid power that will continue to provide power from the batteries. I wanted them to run an armored cable in the ground from the inverter to the house to hook up to a fuse box to some plugs.

The problem from what I was told was that that output did not comply with regulations something to do with earthing and that they were trying to work on this "earthing rod" solution but haven't hear back about since.

Question: let's say you completely disconnect your house from the grid and build your own installation (with solar panels for instance) distributing power ONLY via DC <= 48V, not using any inverter. (Yes that would mean not being able to use many appliances, but that's another question.) What would you be suject to in terms of regulation?

I thought it was relevant because it is about energy consumption and the relevance here is how this is going to be made possible (I suspect through the use of smart meters) and inspections and the energy efficiency rules that they may impose over appliances like from the old epv ratings. I wanted to know what you think your thoughts.

If you think it is not appropriate then I'll delete the thread.

Shall I delete the thread?

The entire thread is guaranteed to be a political rat-hole.

What should happen to political threads on this forum?

Good point...  Okay, well let's discuss the technical side on how they may set out to achieve these targets and leave out any political arguments (amongst members please.)

I am worried about that too that it may not be appliances that are necessarily switched on and used but just being in possession of them that don't comply.
Marco:
The bill includes no penalties for any specific thing, it allows penalties to be later defined for a set of violations, among which fraud and obstruction. Telegraph is stretching, they just wanted to torpedo a bill which would have forced energy conservation measures on slumlords.

Allowing criminal law to defacto be created by regulatory agencies on the one hand is a bit suspect, on the other it's common in say the US.

PS. I assumed this was in the renewable energy forum, though I see I assumed wrong.
Simon:
Sorry, I don't have the time to explain the batshit bullshit conspiracy theory nonsense in this thread. Most of what dishi rishi came out with the other day is also all bullshit. A tax on meat abolished when there was never any such plan. He was simply pandering the the even more whako extreme right than the conservative party already is in a bid to attract votes. I'd even argue that this "article" was part of the plan, piss people off and then show how reasonable they are.

So sorry locked, and don't post any of this garbage again please.
