Guide to Prosumer Electrical Installations
Unlock the future of energy with the definitive guide to Prosumer Electrical Installation (PEI), designed for professionals shaping tomorrow’s smart, sustainable power systems.
Guide to Prosumer Electrical Installations is a brand-new technical publication tailored for professionals working at the forefront of energy innovation. It explores the rapidly evolving landscape of prosumer systems, electrical installations that can generate, store, use, and return surplus energy to the grid.
This guide is a vital resource for understanding how these systems contribute to energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and the UK’s Road to Net Zero strategy and broader initiatives to reduce local and global carbon emissions.
Who should read this guide?
This guide is designed for professionals involved in the planning, design, and implementation of low-voltage, energy-efficient, and renewable electrical installations. It is particularly relevant to electrical engineers, installers, energy consultants, project managers, and building services designers and developers.
Objectives and outcomes
The purpose of this guide is to provide a clear understanding of the requirements of typical modes of operation for a PEI. You will also learn the following:
- Learn how to integrate components such as solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and energy management systems.
- The principles and design philosophy behind Prosumer’s Electrical Installations (PEI)
- Integration of components such as solar PV, battery storage, and energy management systems
- Understand safety considerations and compliance with BS 7671:2018+A2:2022+A3:2023 associated with British Standards, IEC documentation and standards and more
- Technical challenges and solutions for grid-connected and off-grid systems
- Technical challenges of PEI and role of energy management systems necessary to optimise PEI operations
Whether you're designing low-voltage systems for residential buildings or integrating renewable technologies into commercial developments, this guide offers practical insights and technical clarity aligned with BS 7671 Chapter 82 and other key standards.
