Someone raised a question on another forum about home insurance, suggesting that the companies might refuse to pay out if you've fitted homebrew (and thus non-CE marked) equipment such as the Mk2 and the like.
I'm not sure how true that is - anyone know for sure?

Re: Solar diverters and Insurance
It might be an urban myth. As I understand it, you don't need to have a CE mark on home-built equipment that is for your personal use. It's only when you sell it that the rules come into action.
But I can well imagine an insurance company refusing to pay out if a shoddily-built lash-up without proper protection and inadequate wire sizes was the cause of a fire, for example.
