How it works

Plug and Play Solar products are designed to be as easy to use as possible. Simply plug into a standard outlet and generate your own electricity.

Just like a rooftop panel, our products use solar industry approved inverters to be as safe as possible.

Our panels connect through a standard plug since our products’ power levels are well below the limit of a standard 15 amp breaker installed in a home.

Once plugged in, clean solar energy seamlessly integrates with your home and starts saving you money right away.

Features

  • Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. They are manufactured to be outside and can withstand rain, small hail, dust, and more.

  • The amount of power generated by the sun depends on many factors. Each Plug and Play Solar product is oversized to ensure you get the advertised power.

    What affects power performance:

    • Weather

    • Location on the planet

    • Panel installation angle

    • Shade

  • Plug and Play Solar products are compatible with all US homes and feature an inverter.

    Also known as "grid-tied", Plug and Play Solar products automatically match your home's utility electricity to seamlessly deliver solar power to your home.

What to expect.

Solar energy varies from month to month with some seasons generating more power than others.

Expect to get the most power in the spring and summer months and less in the fall and winter.

No matter the season, you’ll always be generating power.

FAQs

  • Virtually all solar products reference a lab-tested power output under perfect conditions. Unfortunately, we don't live in a lab.

    Plug and Play Solar products are named for actual power output under more reasonable conditions. We believe this is a more transparent and better number for our customers.

    "Oversized" means that you are getting solar panels that could produce more power than advertised. For example, the Sprout 250 has 400w of total solar panels.

  • No. Plug and Play Solar's inverters require your utility's electricity to sync with and deliver solar power.

    In the event of a power outage, the inverter shuts off to prevent any solar power from reaching powerlines that could be under repair.

  • Plug and Play Solar products deliver free solar power to your home's electric circuits through the power cable. Appliances in your home will consume this free electricity as if it was from your electric utility.

    While Plug and Play Solar products supply power to your home, your home needs less electricity from your utility. Savings are reflected in lower power bills.

  • You can put a Plug and Play Solar product anywhere there's sunlight and an electrical plug.

    It's best to put one where there there is sustained sunlight throughout the day.

  • Yes. Each utility is different and may offer incentives like tax credits and net metering. The amount you are paid will vary based on your state regulations.

    There may be fees and inspections associated with applying for these programs.

    Check your utility website for details.

  • Yes! Plug and Play Solar products are eligible for a 30% tax credit based on the cost of the product.
