Before you Buy
From available outdoor space and mounting options to panel capacity and installation requirements, there are a few things worth considering before making your purchase.
While plug-in solar offers a convenient way to generate your own electricity, it's important to remember that you're working with electrical equipment. As with any electrical system, incorrect installation or use can present risks, including electric shock and fire. Ensuring your electrical connection is suitable, following the manufacturer's instructions and understanding the relevant safety requirements are essential.
We've put together this guide to help you compare our kits, understand the installation and safety considerations, and choose the right solution for your home with confidence.
IMPORTANT SAFETY & INSTALLATION ADVICE
Check your electrical connection
Ensure your socket and household wiring are suitable and properly protected. If you're unsure, consult a qualified electrician before installation.
Check your property is suitable
Consider available space, sunlight, mounting surfaces and electrical connections. Renters and flat owners may need permission before installing.
Never use extension leads or adapters
Connect your kit directly to a suitable socket using the approved cable. Never use extension leads, adaptors or unapproved accessories, as these can create electrical hazards.
Follow UK Electrical Regulations
Only use compliant plug-in solar systems and follow applicable UK electrical safety and DNO notification requirements. Seek professional advice where necessary.
Secure your solar panels correctly
Install panels securely according to the supplied mounting instructions. Wall-mounted or elevated installations require appropriate professional assessment and installation.
Inspect and maintain your system
Regularly check panels, mounts and cables for damage or deterioration. Stop using the system if you notice anything unusual.
Always read the installation manual before connecting your UKSOL Plug-In Solar Pro kit. Incorrect installation or use can create risks of electric shock, fire or physical injury. If you are unsure whether your property, electrical installation or mounting location is suitable, seek advice from a qualified professional before proceeding.
