UK Plug-In Solar Product Register

A practical record of complete plug-in solar kits being prepared for the Great Britain market. I check the things that actually matter: the complete product, IPS evidence, G98/network information, 800VA output, the supplied UK plug, panels, mounting and whether a battery changes the legal position.

This is not a paid “approved products” list. A manufacturer cannot buy a green status. If the evidence is incomplete, I will say so.

How to read this page

What the status actually means

The government has been very clear that the new route is for complete products that comply with the Interim Product Specification. An 800W microinverter, a G98 entry or a UK-looking plug on its own is not enough.

I therefore separate public marketing claims from evidence I have actually been able to review. This keeps the register useful without pretending PluginSolarHub is a certification or approval body.

Evidence reviewedStrongest status

Public or manufacturer-supplied evidence has been reviewed against the main IPS requirements. This still is not third-party certification by PluginSolarHub.

Pending evidenceAnnounced / claimed

The product looks relevant and may claim compliance, but the full evidence pack has not yet been reviewed.

Outside IPS scopeDoes not fit this route

For example, a product incorporating battery storage under the first solar-only IPS.

Not assessedNot enough information

A product may exist, but there is not enough current UK-specific evidence to assess it properly.

G98 is shown separately for a reason. G98 deals with connection of generation to the distribution network. It does not prove that the complete plug-in solar kit meets the IPS. A product can use a technically suitable/G98-capable inverter and still need the rest of the product evidence.

PluginSolarHub note: this is one of the clearest launch products I have found. UKSOL lists the complete kit and SocketPower says orders open on 27 August, but I want the conformity/plug evidence before moving it to green.

UKSOL Pro Plus 1030W

Two 515W panels behind the same 799VA continuous-output limit, with wiring assessment advised by the launch retailer.

PluginSolarHub note: this is the first model in the UKSOL range above 960W DC. That does not change the 799VA AC limit, but it does bring in the IPS recommendation to consider professional assessment of the existing installation.

UKSOL · Launch announced for 27 August 2026

UKSOL Pro Max 1260W

Largest announced UKSOL kit, with two 630W modules and the same stated 799VA continuous AC output.

PluginSolarHub note: the large DC-to-AC oversizing is allowed in principle by the final IPS up to 2,000W DC, but panel/inverter compatibility and the installation assessment guidance still matter. Bigger panel capacity does not mean more than 799VA AC output.

Want your complete UK plug-in solar system added?

If you are bringing a complete plug-in solar product to the Great Britain market, send the evidence over. I am happy to review genuine systems for inclusion in this register.

I am also interested in hands-on product testing. If you want to provide a complete system for independent review, make that clear when you contact me. Supplying a product does not guarantee a positive review or a green register status.

Complete product / kit model and BOM
IPS conformity evidence / declaration
BS 1363 plug approval / declaration and 5A fuse details
G98 / ENA inverter or product reference
Panel datasheets and approved module configuration
Mounting system and installation instructions
Consumer-unit / circuit suitability instructions

How I assess products

What gets checked before a product turns green

1. Complete product

I need to know exactly what the customer receives: inverter, panels, plug/lead, mounting, instructions and the approved configuration. A component-level claim is not enough.

2. Electrical & network evidence

800VA / 3.5A limits, panel compatibility, G98/network details, residual-current guidance and the manufacturer-supplied 5A fused BS 1363 connection all matter.

3. Consumer use

The mounting instructions, circuit checks, DNO notification process and warnings need to make sense for an ordinary householder using the product as supplied.

Important: “Evidence reviewed” on PluginSolarHub means I have reviewed the documentation made available to me against the main published requirements. It is not a certification mark, notified-body approval, legal warranty or substitute for the manufacturer's own compliance responsibilities.

Why G98 has its own column

G98 is important because the device is generation operating in parallel with the public distribution network. The new consumer route does not make the network side disappear.

But I do not want readers to make the opposite mistake either. Seeing an APsystems, Hoymiles or other inverter on a G98/ENA list does not automatically tell you that the complete plug-in product meets the IPS. This register therefore records G98 evidence separately from product-level IPS evidence.

Why there are no battery systems in the green list

The first UK plug-in solar IPS specifically covers solar-only products and does not extend to plug-in batteries or plug-in solar products incorporating electrical energy storage. That is why European battery-based balcony systems cannot simply be dropped into this register as compliant solar kits.

Sources I use

Manufacturer documentation is preferred. I also use government publications, ENA/network evidence and retailer pages where they contain specific technical or launch information. Marketing claims are treated as claims until there is evidence behind them.
