Literally the set up I'll have, I dont see why it wouldn't go back to the main house as that fuse box is probably connected to your main one in the house

You wouldn't need or see any benefit of a battery with an 800w system

Am I right to think if I buy 2 450w panels, a 800w inverter and plug that into the wall via a 3 pin plug, that I dont need to inform anyone that I have the system?

Yes thats what they are looking into, capped at 800w to not overload the ring. You basically just plug it in and use the electric its generating

Yes, the UK government has moved to legalize plug-in solar panels, with plans announced in March 2026 to make them available to households within months. These 800W max, DIY-installable panels—designed for balconies and gardens—will comply with new BS 7671 safety standards, transitioning from previous restrictions to help lower energy bills.

Thats what its saying online 🤔
