If you have any questions about Plug-In Solar Kits, and how they work, you can visit our extensive FAQs Page
 
Are Plug-In Solar kits easy to install?
Installing a Plug-In Solar kit is a simple Plug and Play assembly.  You can install ALL the kit until the final connection (this will need to be performed by an electrician who will need to install a circuit breaker on a dedicated circuit [1])
 
You can install your Plug-In Solar kit in the GARDEN, on the PATIOSHEDPERGOLAWORKSHOPGARAGESTABLE, SUMMER HOUSE, OFFICE or HOUSE roof. Anywhere with a mains grid connection. It’s up to you. You must abide by all the relevant regulations as set out in the Important Information section of this page, and consult a professional in the appropriate field if you are in doubt about any aspect of the installation.
 
The Plug-In Solar Advantage?
With standard Solar PV kits, electricity generation is dependent on the panel that is performing the worst.  These types of systems will will not perform well with panels that are oriented in multiple directions or if panel shading is an issue.
Our Plug-In Solar Kits use Micro-Inverters to take full advantage of the production capability of each individual solar panel, regardless of shade or orientation to the sun. This ensures each panel can produce the maximum power and is not affected by the performance of any other panel in the array. You can find out more about the Enphase System and its benefits here: Enphase Benefits Video.
The Plug-In Solar System is flexible, and modular so you can design a kit to fit your current budget and energy needs, and expand it later as you wish. The system is completely modular, meaning if you want to add more panels, or a solar battery, this can be simply achieved.Plug-In Solar Kits are also Energy Storage Ready, meaning a battery system can easily be added to our kits using the Enphase AC Battery Storage Module.

If you have any other bespoke requirements for this kit, please contact us, we will be happy to accommodate your needs.

Important Information

All systems advertised are for the peak power of the Solar Panels. The Micro-Inverter that has been teamed with the panels is done so using the DC:AC ratio module matching method as advised by Enphase, for best performance in the UK. You can see more information on this here: Enphase Module Matching

In the UK solar panels rarely produce power at the rated output due to sun angle, time of year, as well as environmental, electrical, cabling, soiling and thermal losses (around 15% in total). As such our kits have been designed with a moderate DC:AC ratio so the system will produce energy earlier in the day, later into the evenings, and perform better on cloudy days. This means more energy is produced at these times, which is beneficial in the UK climate.
