General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Unregistered as in you but the solar panel and inverter and just plug it into a regular wall outlet with a normal plug to back feed the house.

Before anyone suggests it's a suicide cable, the inverter have grid sending and won't back feed power without the grid electricity being sensed.

How would that work in the UK with the ring circuit? Won't we just blow out everything else connected to that circuit.

No. the devices on the circuit only pull as much electricity as they need, any unused back feed returns to the main panel/fusebox to be distributed to any other circuits currently using electricity. If there's still any unused, it goes to the grid to be used.

It already works in the UK, it just winds back your meter, atleast pre smart meter.
