Solfit and ATMOCE have signed an exclusive partnership to create a standardised AC renewable energy framework for UK new-build housing.
The agreement combines Solfit’s roof-integrated solar platform and delivery framework with ATMOCE’s AC architecture, microinverter, battery storage, and energy management technologies.
The companies said the partnership aims to address fragmentation in renewable delivery on new-build housing, where roofing, solar, electrical, storage, certification, and handover are often treated as separate workstreams. They will develop a single approach covering all of these, as well as monitoring and assurance, for use across sites and house types.
The announcement comes as housebuilders prepare for the next stage of the Future Homes Standard in England. Building Regulations published in March 2026 introduce requirements for on-site renewable electricity generation in new dwellings. They are due to come into force in March 2027, subject to transitional arrangements.
Solfit’s framework covers system design, contractor training, compliance oversight, digital installation auditing, evidence capture, certification alignment, homeowner handover, warranty and assurance support, and ongoing technical support. ATMOCE provides the energy conversion, storage, and energy management technology.
ATMOCE’s panel-level microinverters convert electricity at the point of generation, minimising roof-level DC voltage and site-made DC connections. The company said this offers an alternative to traditional string-based solar architecture and allows generation, AC-coupled battery storage, and energy management to operate as one electrical system. Its residential range also includes AC-coupled extra-low-voltage battery storage and digital monitoring.
Solfit and ATMOCE said the approach should improve consistency across house types and developments, and reduce the number of interfaces between roofing, solar, electrical systems, and storage. For housebuilders, it would replace individual products and contractor packages that must be coordinated at project level.
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 UK new-build housing, with both companies working with housebuilders, developers, installers, and other delivery partners to deploy the framework on new developments.
