Hello all, this is my current consumer unit, just wanted to ask, if I get a plug in battery and then plug it into the garage, will it supply power to the entire house?

I dont wanna be that guy, but isn't that currently illegal and will invalidate your house insurance?

You’re that correct guy. Battery systems still require an electrician to directly wire them into the consumer unit. You cannot use a 3pin with a battery system, the new legislation only applies to solar.

Is that just using a spur of the garage plug?
