How it works

Order, clip, plug in.

Simple installation over 45 minutes across three steps.

01

Order online, delivered in a few days.

Standard UK delivery. Klarna available at checkout if you'd prefer to spread the cost.

02

Clip to your balcony or place in the garden.

Balcony clamps fit any railing between 25mm and 80mm thick. No drilling required for balcony or ground installation. The Sola 800 is not suitable for balcony installation; if you choose to wall-mount it, drilling will be needed.

03

Connect the microinverter, plug in and watch your bill fall.

Attach the microinverter to the panel cable, then plug it into any standard wall socket. The app shows live generation and savings as they happen.

Built to UK standard

You shouldn't have to take our word for it.

Plug-in solar is new to the UK, and we know some people want to see the paperwork before they commit. Here's what every Sola kit has to clear before it ships.

G98 grid connection standard

G98 is the UK standard governing small generators that connect to the grid through a normal socket. Every Sola microinverter is independently pre-certified to G98 before it leaves the factory. That certification is what allows the kit to plug into your home circuit legally and safely, without modifying your wiring or fuse board.

Standard UK plug (BS 1363)

The cable that comes with every Sola kit uses a standard BS 1363 UK plug — the same standard as your kettle or phone charger. There is no proprietary connector and nothing that requires a specialist socket.

Permitted under BS 7671 Amendment 4

The UK approved the regulatory framework for plug-in solar through BS 7671 Amendment 4, permitting systems up to 800W in domestic settings. All Sola kits fall within that limit. We include the relevant documentation with every order.

Automatic fault shutdown

The microinverter monitors the circuit continuously and shuts down within milliseconds if it detects a fault, a power cut or a disconnected panel. There is no battery in any Sola kit, which means no stored charge and no associated fire risk. The system is designed to be left running unattended.

A small, self-installed solar kit: one or two panels and a compact microinverter that plugs straight into a normal wall socket. Nothing's fixed to the roof and nothing needs an electrician. Clip it to a balcony rail, hang it on a fence, or stand it in the garden, and the electricity it makes feeds straight into your home, cutting what you buy from the grid. Full explainer: What is plug-in solar?
Another name for the same thing. "Plug-in solar", "balcony solar" and the German "Balkonkraftwerk" all describe a small panel-and-microinverter kit you plug into a standard socket rather than have hardwired in. Despite the name, Sola kits aren't limited to balconies, they also mount on fences, garden frames and walls. Full explainer: Balcony solar in the UK
The UK has approved the regulatory framework for plug-in solar through BS 7671 Amendment 4, permitting systems up to 800W. Sola kits are built for this framework and are G98-compliant. We include the relevant documentation with every order. Full explainer: Is plug-in solar legal in the UK?
In most cases, no. The kit clamps to your balcony rail without drilling and is designed to leave the surface as you found it, so it's not "installation" in the legal sense; it's closer to hanging a picture. We include a one-page letter template if your landlord does ask, though most don't raise it. If you're in a leasehold flat and want to be certain, our renter's guide covers what your lease is likely to say. Can renters use plug-in solar?
The panels still generate on overcast days. Modern solar cells respond to daylight, not just direct sunshine, so a typical British sky is far from a write-off. Our annual savings figures are based on average UK weather conditions, so what you see in the calculator above is a realistic estimate rather than a best-case one. Does plug-in solar work in the UK?
A Sola 400 generates around 650 kWh a year based on average UK conditions. At the current Ofgem unit rate (24.5p/kWh) that works out at roughly £159 a year. Your own figure depends on your tariff, your usage patterns and how much daylight your balcony gets, so use the slider above with your real bill to get a better idea. Full breakdown: How much can you save with plug-in solar?
Yes, that's who we built it for. Any balcony with a reasonable amount of daylight works, including north-facing ones. Generation varies with orientation and shading, but even a modest output cuts meaningfully into a typical electricity bill. What is a balcony solar panel? · Can renters use plug-in solar?
G98 is the UK standard governing small generators (including plug-in solar kits) that connect to the grid through a normal socket. Our microinverters are pre-certified to G98, so there's no separate technical approval needed on your end. Under the regulations, you do need to notify your Distribution Network Operator within 28 days of connecting the kit, which you can do yourself through the ENA's Connect Direct portal. Our G98 guide walks through what that involves, step by step. G98 explained · How to notify your DNO
Yes, that's the point. The panels unclip from the balcony rail and the whole kit packs back into the original box, so moving with it is no different to moving with any other appliance. There are no permanent fixings and nothing that needs undoing by a tradesperson. Plug-in vs rooftop solar: what's the difference?
Yes. The microinverter shuts down within milliseconds if it detects a fault, a power cut or a disconnected panel. There's no battery in the Sola kit, so no stored charge and no fire risk from that source. Every kit is G98-certified, meaning it's been independently tested to the UK grid safety standard before it leaves the factory. Is plug-in solar safe?
The panels generate DC electricity and the microinverter converts it to standard UK mains voltage and feeds it in through the plug socket. Any appliance drawing power at that moment uses your solar generation first, reducing what you'd otherwise pull from the grid. There's no rewiring, no fuse box work and nothing to configure. How does plug-in solar actually work?
Yes, through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), a government-backed scheme that requires licensed energy suppliers to pay you for electricity you export back to the grid. When your panels are generating more than your home is using at that moment, the surplus goes back and your supplier pays you per kWh. Rates vary, so it's worth checking what your current supplier offers. What is the Smart Export Guarantee?
