SolarEdge has announced that its entire product portfolio complies with the UK’s Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) regulation. The new regulation, effective April 29, aims to enhance the security of internet-connectable products, including renewable energy infrastructure, to address cyber security threats. SolarEdge CEO Zvi Lando emphasized the importance of cyber-safe solutions in the solar industry, highlighting the PSTI regulation as a significant milestone towards establishing a cyber-security benchmark for manufacturers.

The UK government has been introducing new regulations to support the growth of the renewable energy sector, particularly solar. The UK Solar Taskforce has created sub-groups to address key obstacles in scaling solar generation capacity, such as electricity networks, skills, rooftop solar, and supply chains. Lawmakers are also considering making solar panels and residential battery energy storage systems mandatory in new homes, with a majority of MPs supporting these initiatives.

Overall, SolarEdge’s compliance with the PSTI regulation and the UK government’s efforts to support solar development through legislation indicate a positive outlook for the solar industry in the UK.
