Solfit and ATMOCE have formed an exclusive partnership to create a standardised AC renewable energy framework for UK housebuilders.
The agreement combines Solfit’s roof integrated solar platform with ATMOCE’s microinverters, battery storage and energy management technologies.
The partnership is focused on addressing the fragmentation that still characterises renewable delivery in new-build housing. Roofing, solar, electrical, storage, certification and handover are often treated as separate workstreams.
Together, the two businesses will develop a coordinated framework. They will bring roof integration, electrical architecture, generation, storage, monitoring, certification, assurance and homeowner handover into one standardised approach for delivery across sites and house types.
Preparing for the Future Homes Standard
The announcement comes as the housebuilding industry prepares for the next stage of the Future Homes Standard in England. New Building Regulations published in March 2026 introduce requirements for on-site renewable electricity generation in new dwellings. The regulations are due to come into force on 24 March 2027, subject to transitional arrangements.
Solfit said the partnership is intended to move the market away from product-by-product renewable delivery and towards a more standardised, solution-led approach.
ATMOCE’s panel-level microinverter technology converts electricity at the point of generation, minimising roof-level DC voltage and site-made DC connections. This provides an alternative to traditional string-based solar architecture. It allows solar generation, AC-coupled battery storage and energy management to operate within a coordinated electrical system.
ATMOCE’s residential portfolio also includes AC-coupled extra-low-voltage battery storage and digital monitoring and energy management technologies.
Solfit’s roof integrated solar system combines with ATMOCE technology to create one consistent framework for new build developments. The partnership gives housebuilders a standardised renewable energy framework instead of separate products and contractor packages.
Solfit turns specifications into consistent site delivery through system design, contractor training, compliance oversight and digital installation auditing. The framework also covers evidence capture, certification, homeowner handover, warranty assurance and ongoing technical support.
ATMOCE provides the underlying energy conversion, storage and energy management technology. The approach improves consistency across house types and developments while simplifying connections between roofing, solar, electrical systems and storage.
Industry collaboration
Lee Chadwick, Group Managing Director at Solfit, said, “The industry needs to move away from fragmented product-by-product delivery if renewable technologies are going to scale across new-build housing in a safe, compliant and commercially sustainable way.
“Our partnership with ATMOCE brings together our expertise in roof-integrated solar and new-build delivery with ATMOCE’s AC technology platform. This gives us the opportunity to create a more joined-up approach to generation, storage and energy management, while maintaining the standards of delivery and assurance that housebuilders require.”
Tim Sharman, UK Sales Director at ATMOCE, said, “This partnership brings ATMOCE’s AC architecture into a delivery framework designed specifically for the UK new-build market.
“Solfit’s experience in the UK new-build market and its managed delivery framework make it a strong partner for bringing this approach into the sector. By combining Solfit’s roof-integrated solution with ATMOCE’s microinverter, storage and energy management technologies, we can offer housebuilders a more integrated route to designing renewable energy into new homes.
“Solfit’s understanding of new-build delivery is what makes the partnership significant. It creates a route to apply the technology within a standardised framework that can be deployed more consistently across developments.”
The partnership will initially focus on the UK new-build housing sector. Both businesses will work with housebuilders, developers, installers and other delivery partners to deploy the framework across new housing developments.
