Featured

Plug-in solar that connects directly to UK sockets has been approved, but trade bodies have quickly raised concerns. They warn there’s no recognised product standards. We have already demoed the emerging tech as industry debate grows.

FULL STORY

Elon Musk’s Tesla has been granted a UK licence to sell electricity, marking its entry into the UK energy market. The company is expected to roll out a model similar to its US service, with a consumer launch likely later this year. 

An electrician has been forced out of the trade after a telescopic ladder snapped, causing a 15ft fall. Campaigners are now calling for tougher action against unsafe imported products still being sold online.
