Every plug-in solar kit we can find, on the numbers that decide it.
63 kits — 26 of them inside the 800W plug-in route on the figures their own vendors publish. Ranked by price per AC watt: a genuine value measure, and one nobody can buy a better position on.
| Kit | Vendor | Price | £ / AC watt ▾ | AC output | Panel DC | Battery | ENA register |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Within the plug-in route · 26 kits Published AC output of 800W or less, and no battery — the two tests in SI 2026/848 we can check from a spec sheet. Ranking by price per AC watt is a fair contest here, because every kit is competing for the same 800W ceiling. | |||||||

Outside the plug-in route · 17 kits Either the published AC output is above 800W, or the kit contains a battery, so it cannot use the plug-in microgenerator route in SI 2026/848. That is not the same as being unlawful — such a system may be perfectly fine as a fixed installation signed off under G98 or G99. It is here because it is on sale as solar, and separated because price per AC watt flatters a large inverter: a 3,000W hybrid scores well on that measure without being a plug-in device at all. | |||||||

On a narrow screen the table scrolls sideways inside its own box — the page itself never does.
Reading the two wattage columns. The 800W cap in SI 2026/848 applies to AC output — what the inverter pushes into your wiring. Panel DC watts are usually higher, often 1,000W or more, and that is normal and intended: panels rarely hit their rated figure, so a bigger array behind an 800W inverter simply spends more of the day at the cap.
Why the table is grouped. Price per AC watt is a real measure of value, but only between kits competing for the same ceiling. A 3,000W battery hybrid divides its price by a much bigger number and lands near the top — arithmetically correct, and useless to someone shopping for a plug-in device. So kits outside the route are still listed, but labelled and ranked among themselves rather than against kits inside it.
Blanks are blanks. Where a vendor has not published a figure we print not stated. We never fill a gap with an estimate.
ENA register. “On register” means we have matched thiskit to a specific entry on the Energy Networks Association Connect Direct register. “Not yet matched” means we have not made that link — it is a statement about our data, not about the product. We do not repeat the register’s own status field because the ENA has not yet confirmed to us what its values mean. Browse all 31 plug-in solar devices on the register →
