On 15 October 2026 Zendure announced that it is bringing its SolarFlow range to the UK. It is the first of the five brands we have tracked since before legalisation to put a register-listed plug-in kit on sale here, so it is worth being precise about what is launching and when.
What the kit is
The headline product is the Plug-In Solar Kit SolarFlow 800. In Zendure’s own description, “the kit comes with two solar panels, a small inverter that turns their power into the electricity your home uses, and the fittings to mount them on the ground, a wall or a balcony”, with output capped at 800W.
That is a plug-in solar device as the UK rules define one: panels, an inverter at or below 800 VA, connected through a standard socket. Pre-orders open on 2 November 2026 and the range starts from £1,099, Zendure’s figure.
What the register says
We read the ENA Type Test Register ourselves on 16 October 2026. It holds six Zendure entries, all marked Compliant, and all published on 21 September 2026 — three weeks before the launch announcement. They are the same kit with different mounting hardware:
- ZENDU/21469/V1/A1 — “SolarFlow 800 + 2*Solar Panels + 1*4 Extension MC4 Cables + 2*Floor Brackets”
- ZENDU/21470/V1/A1 — the same with wall brackets
- ZENDU/21471/V1/A1 — the same with balcony brackets
- ZENDU/21472/V1/A1, ZENDU/21473/V1/A1 and ZENDU/21474/V1/A1 — floor, wall and balcony brackets again, without the extension cables
All six are recorded at 0.8 kW. The split by bracket type is a good illustration of how the register works: it lists combinations, not brands, so the mounting hardware is part of what was assessed. Match the variant you are buying, not just the name.
The batteries are not part of this
Zendure launched three batteries at the same time — the SolarFlow 2400 AC+, 2400 Pro and 3680 Mix. These are not plug-in solar devices and Zendure does not pretend otherwise: its own announcement says it “is launching professionally installed batteries in their SolarFlow Series”.
That is the right description. The plug-in route covers a solar device that plugs into a socket and excludes battery storage, so a home battery is wired in by a qualified electrician as an ordinary electrical installation — see why plug-in batteries still need an electrician and plug-in solar with battery storage. It is worth noting that not every manufacturer describes its batteries this plainly.
What it means for UK buyers
- Nothing is purchasable yet. An announcement is not availability. Pre-orders open on 2 November, and a pre-order is a commitment before anything ships.
- Check the variant against the register. Six entries means six combinations. If you buy the balcony-bracket version, the balcony-bracket entry is the one that covers it.
- Keep the kit and the battery separate in your head, including in your budget. The kit plugs in; the battery needs an electrician, and that cost is not on the product page.
- The usual duties still apply: one plug-in device per household, 800 VA, and you must register the device with your network operator — see how to register a plug-in solar kit.
Claims about storage capacity and tariff control in the announcement are Zendure’s own; we have not tested anything. Every kit the register marks Compliant is in our register list.
