balkonsolar<p>Will new <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/IEC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IEC</span></a> Norms kill Plug-in-Pv?</p><p>A new global standard for low-voltage generating sets is currently being discussed by the International Electrotechnical Commission, and somehow in this standard we find section 751.550.101.1, which states:<br>"A generating set shall not be connected to a final circuit."</p><p>The supplementary paragraph 751.550.101.2 is also cause for concern. It states:<br>"The connection of the generating set to the electrical installation shall be made by one of the following methods: […] a dedicated coupling system which is not compatible with any configurations belonging to national systems based on IEC 60884-1.</p><p>This wording directly targets the exclusion of Schuko-compatible plugs. Thus would not allow you to simply connect to the grid.</p><p>The IEC standards are not directly the standards that are in power, but national norming committees use these to draft their rules. So putting something into them that disallows feed in via a standard plug and socket, can make <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/pluginpv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pluginpv</span></a> illegal in many places. </p><p>Any such attempt would grossly underminde the encouragement given to member states in the EU Electricity Market Directive 2024/1711 to allow or promote plug-in solar technology.<br>The comment period ends on June 16th, and not just any citizen is allowed to comment, but only the experts from the national committees.<br>If this becomes a reality, plug-in solar will be a thing of the past for the next few years.</p><p>More Info <a href="https://balkon.solar/news/2025/06/02/will-new-iec-norms-kill-plug-in-pv/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">balkon.solar/news/2025/06/02/w</span><span class="invisible">ill-new-iec-norms-kill-plug-in-pv/</span></a></p>
