About MyPlugInSolar

An independent UK platform helping households understand plug-in solar.

What we do

MyPlugInSolar is an independent UK information, comparison and calculator platform focused on plug-in solar panels — small, flexible solar systems designed to offset everyday electricity use.

The site currently provides:

  • Independent UK plug-in solar guides
  • A postcode-based solar output and savings calculator
  • Product and manufacturer records
  • Regulatory tracking of the UK legal position
  • Technical and property guidance
  • Original research and data projects
  • News and a transparent corrections process

Why independence matters

We don't sell or install solar systems. That means our guidance isn't shaped by what we're trying to sell you. Our goal is to help you understand whether plug-in solar makes sense for your home and budget.

A note on accuracy

UK rules for plug-in solar are still being finalised. We keep our information current and clearly flagged, but it is general information rather than legal or electrical advice. Where the rules or evidence remain unresolved, we label that uncertainty rather than presenting assumptions as confirmed facts. Always follow current UK regulations and manufacturer instructions, and use an appropriately qualified professional for electrical, structural or legal decisions.
