Reviews & testing

We don't publish user reviews, and we haven't hands-on tested this system for UK use — plug-in solar isn't legal to use here yet, so we can't responsibly review it for that purpose. We won't invent ratings.

When the rules change and we can assess products properly, we'll add independent, evidence-based assessments here. In the meantime, check the manufacturer's documentation and reputable independent reviewers, and see our editorial policy.
