Products & compliance tracking

We track plug-in solar products and the evidence behind them. We don't sell or install — and we never label a product UK-compliant without recorded, reviewed evidence.

Tracked products and the ENA register

The systems below are real plug-in / “balcony” solar products sold in the EU (and some are obtainable in the UK). Plug-in solar has been legal to use in Great Britain since 27 August 2026, when SI 2026/848 came into force alongside Ofgem-approved changes to the G98 connection code — provided the kit is listed as compliant on the ENA Type Test Register. Northern Ireland is not covered. Each product page says whether that model was listed as compliant for plug-in use when we last checked the register. For every kit the register does list, see compliant plug-in solar kits on the ENA register. Specifications shown as “—” have not yet been independently verified.

How we assess a product

When products can be assessed, these are the things we weigh up.

Output and size
Panel count, DC wattage and the AC inverter output — and whether it stays within the UK limits of 800 VA per device and 2,000 W of panels.
Microinverter quality
A reputable, properly certified microinverter with mains protection is central to safety and reliability.
Mounting and suitability
Whether the included mounting suits balconies, walls, gardens or flat roofs, and how secure it is.
Monitoring
How you can see what the system is generating, and whether per-panel data is available.
Documentation and certification
Clear manuals, declarations of conformity and the certifications relevant to UK requirements.
Warranty and support
The length and terms of the warranty, and whether UK support is available.
Value
Price against output and quality — judged on the evidence, not headline figures.

What each compliance status means

  • Announced

    Publicised by the manufacturer but not yet generally available.

  • Available abroad

    Sold in other markets (for example the EU), but not confirmed for UK plug-in use.

  • In the UK — not confirmed for plug-in use

    Obtainable in the UK, but not confirmed as legal or suitable for plug-in connection here.

  • Documentation under review

    We are reviewing the manufacturer's documentation and the available evidence.

  • UK compliance confirmed

    Evidence of UK compliance for plug-in use has been recorded and reviewed.

  • Withdrawn

    No longer available or withdrawn from sale.

Evidence required before we list a product as compliant

  • The specific model listed as compliant on the ENA Type Test Register — the legal basis for plug-in use in Great Britain since 27 August 2026.
  • Manufacturer declarations of conformity and the relevant product-safety certifications.
  • A microinverter that meets the applicable UK electrical and grid-protection requirements.
  • Installation and connection instructions consistent with UK regulations.
  • A recorded evidence review, dated, before any 'compliance-confirmed' label is applied.
