Listed as compliant for plug-in use on the ENA register

Assembled in Sheffield and sold direct and through Argos and Very. Plug-in solar is legal to use in Great Britain, and only kits listed as compliant on the ENA Type Test Register may be used. When we last checked the register, this model was part of a kit it listed as compliant — only that exact combination of inverter, panels and mounting is covered, and we have not tested it. We last checked on 16 October 2026, under the register’s “Plug-in Solar” device type. The register entry is UKSOL/21014/V1/A4, “UKSOL Plug-In Solar Pro Advanced 920W Two Panel Hybrid Mount Kit - UKS-PRO-A-2-920-MZ1 /-HYM”, 0.8 kW, recorded as meeting G98.

Overview

UKSOL is a British solar module brand whose Plug-In Solar Pro kits are, on its own account, “assembled in Sheffield, UK”, with the ground mount “designed & manufactured in Sheffield”. Each kit pairs panels with a microinverter and app monitoring.

It matters here for one reason: UKSOL holds seven entries on the ENA Type Test Register, all marked Compliant — more than any other brand that sells plug-in kits direct to UK households. We read the register ourselves on 10 October 2026.

This is desk research. Specifications and availability below come from UKSOL’s own site, read on 10 October 2026, checked against our own reading of the register the same day. We have not tested these kits, we do not rank products, and we carry no retailer or affiliate links.

The seven register entries

Quoted exactly as the register spells them, all at 0.8 kW and all recorded as meeting G98:

Note the pattern: the register distinguishes a ground mount kit from a hybrid mount kit even at the same wattage. The 890W Duo appears twice, once for each mount. That is the level of detail to match when you buy.

What is actually on sale, and what is coming

Reading UKSOL’s own plug-in solar page on 10 October 2026, the range it sells direct is narrower than the register suggests.

On sale now, ground mount only: the 460W Compact (one 460W panel) and the 890W Duo (two 445W panels), both with app monitoring. Those correspond to the two ground-mount entries above.

Coming 1 November 2026: UKSOL’s page announces the Hybrid Mount range, “configured for wall or ground mounting, with four power options from 515W to 1260W” — Compact 515W, Duo 890W, Plus 1030W and Max 1260W. Those are the four hybrid entries UKSOL/21008/V1/A4, UKSOL/21007/V1/A3, UKSOL/21012/V1/A3 and UKSOL/21013/V1/A2.

That leaves the seventh entry, the Pro Advanced 920W hybrid kit (UKSOL/21014/V1/A4), which is on the register but is not among the four variants UKSOL lists for November. If you want that one, ask.

One oddity worth knowing: hybrid-mount UKSOL kits have been on sale at retailers before UKSOL’s own launch date. When we read Very’s listings on 1 October 2026 it offered the 515W Pro Compact hybrid at £599, the 1030W Pro Plus hybrid at £899 and the 1260W Pro Max hybrid at £989, alongside two ground-mount kits. Argos listed six UKSOL kits when we checked on 22 September. See where to buy plug-in solar kits for those, with the dates we read them.

What UKSOL itself tells buyers to check

Two notices on its page are worth repeating, because they are more cautious than most sellers manage.

On anywhere other than the ground. UKSOL says that before buying a kit for a flat roof, wall “or anywhere other than at ground level”, customers “must consult a suitably qualified local solar professional”, and lists what to assess: wind loading, structural strength, mounting and fixing requirements, safe access, shading, drainage, cable routing and access to a suitable socket. That is consistent with the advice in our compliance checklist.

On where the kits may be used. UKSOL states its kits “are approved for connection through a suitable plug-in socket only in England, Wales and Scotland”, and that buyers outside those countries must check legality and connection requirements locally. That matches the position on the UK legal status page: Northern Ireland is not covered.

What a listing does not cover

A register entry answers one question — whether that exact kit may be used for plug-in connection. The rest still applies:

  • Register the device. Notifying your network operator is a legal requirement — see how to register a plug-in solar kit.
  • One device per household, 800 VA maximum, no battery storage. The Pro Plus and Pro Max names quote 1030W and 1260W of panels; the inverter still limits output to 800 VA — see why output is limited.
  • Panels over 960 W? Energy Saving Trust advises speaking to a qualified electrician first, which covers the Plus, Max and Advanced kits.
  • Check your consumer unit and your insurer — see RCDs and DC leakage and home insurance.
  • In England, where you mount it matters — see planning permission.

Manufacturer documentation

Range details, the Sheffield assembly claims, the installation notice and the regional disclaimer above come from UKSOL’s own plug-in solar page, read on 10 October 2026, where data sheets for each kit are also linked. Compliance status comes from our own reading of the ENA Type Test Register the same day. Prices move; check the seller.
