Plug-In Solar
Coming Soon
Plug-in solar is coming to the UK — and it's set to be one of the biggest changes to home energy since the smart meter. No scaffolding, no rewiring, no planning permission: just a solar panel that plugs straight into a standard socket and starts cutting your electricity bill.
We're getting our range of plug-in solar panels ready to launch the moment the new rules come into force. Pop your email below and we'll let you know the second they're in stock.
Plug-in solar panels connect directly to your home's electrical system through a normal plug socket, using a small inverter to convert the panel's output into usable mains electricity.
They're designed for anyone who wants to generate their own power without a full rooftop installation — including renters, flat owners, and anyone who wants solar without the building work.
