*Our estimate for the Large kit (Max 1260W) in a busy four-person home, with someone in all day and 70% of the power used at home. It assumes a sunny, south-facing spot and today's price cap rate of 26.32p per kWh. That's around £1,760 over 10 years and £3,430 over 20. See how it's worked out.
Up to 800W in good sun
What can it power?
In good sun, a kit sends up to 800W into your home. Your home uses it first, then tops up from the grid as normal. You can watch it work in the app.
It helps power:
- Your fridge, freezer and broadband
- The TV, laptops and phone chargers
- A wash or the dishwasher in the day
Three steps. One afternoon.

No drilling needed
Good news if you rent
Our three kits sit on the ground. Nothing is screwed to the house, so there are no holes to fill when you leave. Ask your landlord first and get a yes in writing. When you move, it comes with you.
What you won't need
An installer
The kits are made for you to set up yourself.
Scaffolding
Nothing goes on the roof. The panels sit on the ground.
A drill
The stand sits on the ground, held down with concrete blocks.

Questions
Which size should I get?
The biggest one that fits your sunny space. Small needs about 1.9m by 1.2m, Medium about 3.7m by 1.2m and Large about 5.0m by 1.2m. Answer three questions and we'll suggest one.
Do I need an electrician?
Not to set it up. You need a weatherproof outdoor socket within 4m and modern RCD protection in your fuse box. If you're missing either, or not sure, an electrician can fit or check them. The Large kit should have an electrics check either way.
I rent. Can I have one?
Often, yes. The kits sit on the ground with no drilling. Ask your landlord first and get their yes in writing.
When can I buy one?
Soon. Prices aren't set yet. Join the list and we'll email you when ordering opens.
Do you sell panels for vans and boats?
Not yet. They're coming soon. Join the panels list to hear first.
