  • 1 × APsystems EZ1-M 800W microinverter
  • UK-made ground mounting stand
  • 4m AC connection cable and 2m DC extension cables

No ballast in the box. Use dense concrete blocks of at least 18kg each: 2 where gusts top 40mph, 5 over 60mph, 10 over 80mph.

Where it goes

Ground use only: lawn, patio or gravel. Not for walls, roofs or balconies, and keep it off any wall shared with a neighbour.

Before you plug in

  • A sunny, level spot of about 3.7m × 1.2m.
  • A weatherproof outdoor socket within reach of the 4m cable. Straight in: no extension leads, reels or adaptors.
  • Modern RCD protection in your fuse box. An electrician can fit the socket or check the fuse box if you need it.
  • Renting, leasehold or a managed building? Get written permission from your landlord, freeholder or agent first.
  • Tell your home insurer.
  • Register the kit free at myplugin.solar before you switch it on.
  • One kit per household. Never use it with a home battery.

Add accessories

Ballast blocks, cable covers and energy monitors are coming soon. Nothing extra is needed to get going: the kit's app already shows what it's making.

Questions

The panels add up to 890W. Why 800W?

The microinverter holds what goes into your home to 799VA, the plug-in limit. The extra panel power helps it reach that limit for longer, mornings, evenings and duller days included.

How many ballast blocks do I need?

Concrete blocks of 18kg or more: 2 for gusts over 40mph, 5 over 60mph, 10 over 80mph. Buy them separately.

Who do I tell?

Register it free at myplugin.solar before first use, and tell your home insurer. Northern Powergrid runs the network here.

Can it go on a wall?

No, this one is ground only. For a wall option, look at the Duo 890W hybrid.
