Small solar kits that go on a wall, balcony, shed or garden frame and plug straight into a socket. No roof work, no scaffold: you fit it yourself. And we'll tell you straight whether it suits your home.
No electrician for the kit itself, but two things need doing properly: the right socket, and telling your network operator.
Pick a wall socket on an RCD-protected circuit, close to where the panel will go. If you're unsure about your fuse box, have an electrician check first.
Fix the panel to a wall, balcony rail, flat roof, shed or ground frame, then plug the microinverter's lead straight into the socket. No extension leads or adaptors.
Free, and no permission needed first. Do it within 28 days of connecting, ideally the day you plug in. It takes around 15 minutes online.
A quick call or email to your home insurer. If you rent, get your landlord's OK before you start.
It's a “connect and notify” rule. Within 28 days of plugging in, you tell the company that runs the cables in your area. Have these to hand:
The first two digits of that 13-digit number tell you:
Final specification and ENA register reference confirmed at launch.
A plug-in kit can only be sold as compliant once that exact model is listed on the Energy Networks Association (ENA) register, and cheap look-alikes are already out there. Our kits are going through listing now, and our supplier expects it within about two weeks. We can't promise that date, so we won't take an order or a payment until both kits show as Compliant. When they do, every product page will show the register reference so you can check it yourself.

| Kit | Estimated generation | Worth up to (estimate) |
|---|---|---|
| 465W | around 440 kWh a year | roughly £120 a year |
| 930W | around 880 kWh a year | roughly £240 a year |
Estimates only. They assume an unshaded, south-facing panel at a good angle, around 950 kWh per kWp per year (the same assumption our quote calculators use), and 27p per kWh. “Up to” means you use every unit at home as it's generated: plug-in kits don't earn export payments. A wall or balcony mount, shade or a different direction will give less.
Leave your details and we'll email you the moment our kits are listed and ready to order.
Yes. Since 27 August 2026, certified plug-in solar kits can be sold and used in England, Wales and Scotland. The exact kit has to be listed as compliant on the Energy Networks Association (ENA) register, and you have to follow the connection rules.
The kits are designed to be self-installed: mount the panel, then plug the supplied lead directly into a suitable socket. The socket circuit does need modern protection (an RCD), so if you're unsure about your fuse box or sockets, have an electrician check before you connect anything.
Yes. It's a "connect and notify" rule: you don't need permission first, but you must tell your local network operator within 28 days of plugging in. It's free and takes around 15 minutes online. You'll need your address, your MPAN (from your electricity bill) and the kit's make, model and register reference. You should also tell your home insurer, and if you rent you'll need your landlord's permission.
No. The kit's own plug has to go straight into the wall socket. Extension leads, multi-way adaptors and plug converters aren't permitted.
At the moment, one plug-in solar device per household. If you have room for two panels, a two-panel kit like our 930W makes the most of that single allowance.
Not under the current plug-in rules. Batteries sit outside them, so a plug-in kit generates power for you to use as it's made. If you want storage, that's what our roof-mounted systems are for.
No. Plug-in kits don't qualify for Smart Export Guarantee payments, so the saving comes from using the power as it's generated.
The 465W kit is £499 and the 930W kit is £849. Delivery costs will be confirmed when the kits go on sale, and we'll email the waitlist the moment they're ready to order.
Our kits are going through listing on the ENA register now, and our supplier expects that within about two weeks, though we can't promise the date. A plug-in kit can only be sold as compliant once that exact kit is listed, so we won't take an order or a payment until it is. We'd rather ask you to wait than sell you something that isn't properly listed.
