| Kit | Panels | DC capacity | Microinverter AC | RRP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pro Compact 515W | 1 × 515W | 515W | 800W / 799 VA | £599 |
| Pro Duo 890W | 2 × 445W | 890W | 800W / 799 VA | £999 |
| Pro Plus 1030WWiring assessment advised | 2 × 515W | 1030W | 800W / 799 VA | £1,099 |
| Pro Max 1260WWiring assessment advised | 2 × 630W | 1260W | 800W / 799 VA | £1,199 |
RRPs shown are the manufacturer's recommended prices. The live product page is the pricing authority. DC panel capacity is the total rating of the panels supplied; the microinverter's AC output remains within the maximum 800 VA allowed by the current plug-in solar framework, so a larger array widens the generation window rather than raising peak output. Read the regulatory guide.

Simplified.
Process · 01–03
Choose a complete kit
Pick a complete plug-in solar device or kit rated at no more than 800 VA inverter apparent output — every SocketPower kit in the range uses one 800W microinverter limited to 799 VA. Current G98 rules allow one plug-in solar device per household.
Check, mount, connect
Work through the safety checklist, follow the manufacturer's mounting instructions, then connect using the manufacturer-supplied plug to a suitable UK socket after completing the safety checks. Never use extension cables or adaptors.
We handle G98
You give us your address and meter details; we handle the applicable G98 notification with your Distribution Network Operator and send you written confirmation.
Estimated savings of around £71 a year are illustrative only, based on the DESNZ south-facing 30° scenario. Your result depends on your tariff, orientation, tilt, shading and how much you use during daylight hours.
03 / Renters welcome
Solar that moves with you.
SocketPower systems use reversible, non-permanent mounting, making them potentially suitable for rented homes and flats. You must still obtain any permission required by your tenancy, lease, landlord, freeholder or managing agent before installation.

Before you install
Plug-in solar safety checklist
A suitable external socket
You will need a suitable external socket at the installation location. The system connects to it using the manufacturer-supplied BS 1363 fused plug. Never use an extension cable, multiway adaptor, travel adaptor or plug-in RCD adaptor.
A suitable installation position
The supplied mounting hardware is designed for free-standing positions such as a garden, patio or flat roof. Check the position can take the weight and wind loading before you order.
Ballast weights are not included
Suitable ballast must be sourced separately and installed in accordance with the supplier instructions and your own site conditions.
Modern residual-current protection
Your circuit needs modern residual-current protection (RCD/RCBO). Older fuse-based protection, unsuitable wiring, damaged sockets, any uncertainty, or any required circuit modification must be referred to a qualified electrician before installation.
One device per household
Current G98 network rules restrict use to one plug-in solar device per household, unless and until G98 is amended.
800 VA maximum, solar only
The framework covers single-phase solar PV with a maximum inverter apparent output of 800 VA, supplied as a complete compliant device or kit. Plug-in batteries, battery-integrated devices and other plug-in generation technologies are excluded.
Mounting and permissions
Follow the manufacturer's mounting instructions exactly, and obtain any permission required by your tenancy, lease, landlord, freeholder, managing agent or relevant authority before installing.
G98 network notification
A G98 notification to your Distribution Network Operator is required. We handle the applicable G98 notification and send you written confirmation.
The plug-in solar framework applies in Great Britain from 27 August 2026. This is general information, not legal or electrical advice. Read the full regulatory guide.
