Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Plug in Solar LIVE podcast with ESF, ECA, NAPIT, ESA from Solar and Storage 2026
Q: What's the panel's view on timelines for either a stand-alone plug-in battery being approved and available from government viewpoint, or a battery as part of a solar plug-in system?
Jason Howlett estimates that a full study, including destructive testing, could take 12 to 18 months. He says approval could be possible by the end of 2027 at the earliest, or in early 2028.
Plug in Solar LIVE podcast with ESF, ECA, NAPIT, ESA from Solar and Storage 2026
Q: Octopus are currently offering a system for 650 pounds. Apparently, in Germany at the moment, you can do it for 20 p a watt. And part of the problem is that VAT is having to be paid on the systems here. We're at zero VAT in Germany. What's going on with this? Is this something that's being talked about?
Stephen Devine says Germany had more products ready to meet its published product standard, which helped bring prices down. The UK has only a few products meeting its interim specification, and the panel expects prices to fall as more products enter the market.

Q: What motivated the pivot to battery covers?
The regulatory push (PAS) and the recognition that outdoor battery installations were becoming more common made a dedicated enclosure a natural and scalable product, eclipsing the initial heat pump cover idea.
