*Our estimate for a kit with 1260W of panels in a busy four-person home (someone in all day, 70% of the power used at home), south-facing and unshaded, at the Ofgem price cap rate of 26.32p per kWh (1 October to 31 December 2026). That's around £1,760 over 10 years and £3,430 over 20. See how it's worked out.

Get your electrics checked

Kits with more than 960W of panels sit above a line in the government's product rules. The rules say you should consider a professional assessment of your electrical installation before you plug one in.

An electrician can check your fuse box, RCD protection and outdoor socket in one visit. We don't arrange this, but any qualified electrician can do it.

Where it can go

A long, sunny run of level ground, like the back of a big lawn. Or your own solid house wall, once a professional has assessed it. Not on boundary walls, cladding, timber walls or balconies.

Big panels catch more wind, so the ballast matters. Each listing will give the maker's figures.

Before you order

Go through these before you join the queue.

• About 4.2m to 5m × 1.2m of level ground, or of your own solid house wall, in the sun.
• A professional check of your electrics, because the kit has more than 960W of panels.
• For a wall, flat roof or any raised spot: a professional assessment before you fit it.
• A weatherproof outdoor socket within reach of the kit's own cable. No extension leads, cable reels or adaptors. An electrician can fit one if you need it.
• Modern RCD protection in your fuse box. Not sure? An electrician can check it.
• Renting, leasehold or a managed building? Get written permission from your landlord, freeholder or managing agent first.
• Tell your home insurer before you set it up.
• Register the kit free at myplugin.solar before you first use it.
• One kit per household, used as it comes and never with a home battery.
• England, Scotland or Wales only. Not Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands.

Delivery

Date to be confirmed

We'll deliver to your door in England, Scotland or Wales. Large panels mean a long, heavy box. Two people, and a clear path to the garden.

No dispatch dates yet, because no kit of this type is on sale. Each listing will show its own date before you can order. You'll be able to cancel at any time before dispatch, and for 14 days after delivery.
