Unpack it and you'll find

1 × 460W TOPCon N-type panel (bifacial, glass-glass)
1 × APsystems EZ1-M 800W microinverter
Ground mounting stand, attached (made in the UK)
4m AC connection cable

The stand comes already fixed to the panel, so there's very little to put together.

Will it fit your yard?

It needs a level patch of about 1.9m by 1.2m that catches the sun. In most terrace yards that's the strip along the house, out of the way of the back gate, the bins and the path to the entry.

It stands on its own feet. Nothing gets fixed to the house or to the yard wall, which is handy if you'd rather not drill.

Ground only. This stand isn't made for walls, roofs or balconies.

Holding it down when the wind gets up

Ballast isn't in the box. The maker asks for dense blocks of at least 18kg each: 2 for gusts over 40mph, 5 over 60mph and 10 over 80mph. Any builders' merchant sells them.

Most yards are sheltered by the walls round them, but if you're up on the Pennine side of the county, plan for the higher numbers.

Tick these off first

Can't tick one? Sort it before you order, or ask us through the contact form.

A level, sunny patch of about 1.9m × 1.2m on the yard floor.
A weatherproof outdoor socket within reach of the kit's 4m lead. Straight into the wall, no extension leads, reels or adaptors.
Modern RCD protection in your fuse box. Old fuse box, or not sure? An electrician can check it, or fit the outdoor socket.
Renting, leasehold or in a managed block? Get written permission from your landlord, freeholder or managing agent before you buy.
Give your home insurer a quick ring before you set it up.
Register it free at myplugin.solar before you switch on. That lets Electricity North West, who run the wires round here, know it's there.
One kit per household, and never wired up with a home battery.

When it ships

Date to be confirmed

Once the maker confirms a date, the kit goes on pre-order and the dispatch date shows here, in your basket and at checkout.

On a pre-order you pay in full when you order. If we can't dispatch by the long-stop date in your confirmation email, you choose: a full refund or keep waiting. You can cancel for a full refund at any time before dispatch, and for 14 days after delivery.

The box is 1800 × 1180 × 180mm and weighs 41kg. It'll go through most front doors flat, but have a second pair of hands ready.

Folk often ask

Which way should it point?

As close to south as your yard allows. South-east and south-west do well too. Put it where the sun sits longest and it'll be working from mid-morning into the evening in summer.

How much power does it send into the house?

Up to 800W at any moment (799VA), while the sun's on it. Your fridge, router and anything else that's on use it first.

My yard's only small. Is that daft?

Not at all. This is our smallest kit and it's made for exactly that. If you can find 1.9m of sunny floor, you're in.

Do I have to tell anyone?
