Build Your Solar Kit

Design a plug-in or off-grid solar setup for your home, garden room, garage, balcony or campervan.

  • No installers required for Plug-In setups
  • DIY friendly with minimal electrical work
  • On-Grid and Off-Grid Systems available

Step One: Location

Where will your solar kit be installed?

Step Two: Installation Type

What type of system do you want?

  • DIY Setup
  • Lowest Cost
  • Smaller Savings

  • Highest Savings
  • Powers Larger Loads
  • Higher Upfront Cost

  • Great for Remote Areas
  • No Reliance on the Grid
  • Limited in Winter

Step Three: Power Goals

What are you trying to achieve?

  • I want to reduce my reliance on electricity from the grid as much as possible.

  • I want to save as much as possible and reduce my electricity bills.

  • I want to be able to keep power on during power cuts or when grid power is unavailable..

Step Four: Power Usage

What devices do you want to power from solar?

  • Only uses 25 watts but runs 24 hours a day 7 days per week.
  • ~0.6kWh/day

  • Base load items like this are perfect for Plug-in Solar. Every 1kWh you save per day could reduce your electrity bill by £9 per month.

  • Typically 250 watts for 4 hours per day depending on your usage.
  • ~1kWh/day

  • Plug in solar systems can run these items during sunny days or with an optional battery to increase savings even futher.

  • Uses 3,000 watts for 5 minutes several times per day.
  • ~0.5kWh/day

  • Plug in solar systems can't fully power a kettle and it's unlikely you'll save you any money on high powered devices like this.

  • Uses 300 watts for 7 hours per day, 5 days per week.
  • ~2kWh/day

  • Plug in solar systems are great for a home office, since they are fairly low powered and you'll generally be working during daylight hours.

  • Uses 3000 - 7000 watts for long periods depending on mileage.
  • ~10–40kWh/day

  • EV Charging is not Suitable for Plug-in Solar and very unlikely to make any noticable difference to your vehicle charging costs.
