Solar that isn’t stuck to the house

Rooftop solar means drilling into a roof you may not own, on a house you may not stay in. This is the opposite: nothing is bolted down, nothing is permanent, and nothing gets left behind.

  • Rental homes — no roof work, no landlord conversation about permanent changes
  • Townhomes — fits a small patio, side yard or courtyard
  • Moving soon? — unhook it in minutes and take it to the next place
  • Got a balcony instead? — the same kit hangs right on the railing

What it runs

Enough solar to run your refrigerator

No watt math. On a sunny day the 800W kit covers the fridge and still has room for the everyday stuff.

  • Full-size refrigerator, all day
  • Wi-Fi, laptop and phone chargers
  • Living-room lights and the TV
  • Add the battery and it keeps going after sunset
Four ways to set it up

Wherever the sun hits

Same kit, same wall outlet. Pick the spot that gets the most afternoon sun.

Strap-and-clamp mounts grip wood or chain-link.

Tuck it beside the house where nobody sees it.

No yard? It hangs over the rail just as easily.

The kit

Everything in one box

Panels, the plug-in inverter, mounts and cable — packed in a single carton you can carry yourself. Nothing else to buy, nothing on a freight pallet.

Renting questions

The stuff renters ask first

Do I need my landlord’s permission?
Nothing is drilled, bolted or wired into the building — the panels sit on a stand or strap to a fence and the inverter plugs into an existing outdoor outlet, like any appliance. Most leases have no issue with that, but it’s worth a quick heads-up to your landlord before you order.
What happens when I move?
Unplug it, unhook the panels, put them in the car. Setup at the new place takes about as long as it did the first time. That’s the whole point of a plug-in system.
My townhome has a tiny yard. Is it worth it?
If you have a few feet that catch afternoon sun — a patio corner, a side yard, a fence line — that’s enough for a kit. Small spaces are exactly what these were designed around.
What about my HOA?
Because nothing is permanently attached and the panels sit low behind the house, most setups stay well inside HOA rules. Read your guidelines first — and note that several states limit how far HOAs can restrict solar devices.
Home at golden hour

Start with one kit. Add more whenever.

Every kit is modular — add panels or a battery later, or step up to a full DIY system when you’re ready. Same company, same support line.
