Where it suits in a North East home

The adjustable stand gives you options in a yard where floor space is short. It can stand on paving, or go on a solid house wall once a professional has checked the wall and fixings.

Good for yards and small gardens where a wall spot might catch more sun than the ground.

Any wall, flat-roof or raised spot needs a professional assessment first, and never a wall shared with a neighbour.

Ballast: the maker says hybrid ballast must suit your spot and the wind there. Ask us and we'll get the maker's figure for your kit before you set it up.

Check before you order

Can't tick one? An electrician can check your socket and fuse box. Our own site checks and fitting are coming soon.

A clear, sunny spot of about 2.0m × 1.2m, away from the gate, bins and paths.
A weatherproof outdoor socket within the kit's 4m cable. No extension leads or adaptors.
Modern RCD protection in your fuse box. Not sure? Ask an electrician to check.
Written permission first if you rent, are leasehold, or your street is in a conservation area and you want it on a wall.
Tell your home insurer before you set it up.
Register it free at myplugin.solar before first use. Northern Powergrid runs the network here.
One kit per home, and never with a home battery.

Questions about this kit

Which way should it face?

South is best, and south-east or south-west work well too. Put it in the sunniest part of your garden or yard and it'll be making power from morning to evening on long summer days.

How much will it send into my home?

Up to 800W at any moment (799VA), and only while the sun's on it. Your home uses that power first, before anything comes from the grid.

Do I have to tell Northern Powergrid?

You register the kit free at myplugin.solar before you first use it. That tells the network operator, which for Newcastle and the North East is Northern Powergrid.

Can you set it up for me?

Not yet. Fitting is coming soon around Newcastle. Sign up and we'll tell you when it's live. Until then, kits are designed for you to set up yourself.
