You can now legally buy and install plug-in solar panels in British homes as part of the government’s plans to help reduce electricity costs.
Unlike roof arrays, which are expensive and require professional installation, these new compliant kits are plug-and-play systems that come complete and are designed to be easily fitted. Simply unpack the kit, mount the solar panel (up to 2,000W) on a ground-mounting system or suitable fixing, position the small microinverter box near an AC wall socket, and plug it in.
