Everything’s in the box

One box. One plug. Done.

No shopping list, no trips to the hardware store, no wondering if the parts match. Open it, hang it, plug it in.

  • 2 solar panels — light enough for one person to hang
  • The plug-in inverter — pre-wired, nothing to configure
  • Mounts for railing, fence or ground — no drilling
  • Outdoor extension cable — reaches your outlet
  • App setup card — scan it and watch the power flow

No backyard? No problem.

If you've got sun and a socket, you're in

Same kit, same wall outlet — four ways to set it up. Renters, homeowners, and roamers all get the same savings.

Balcony railing

Hook the panels over the rail — no drilling, zero damage, renter-safe.

Backyard ground stand

Set the panels on a tilt stand in the yard and angle them straight at the sun.

Fence or patio

Strap-and-clamp kits mount to wood or chain-link — sunny side of the yard wins.

RV, van & shed

Featherweight flex panels grommet-mount to almost any surface that sees sky.

“Took me longer to get the box open than to set it up. Hung it on the back fence, plugged it into the patio outlet, and the app was showing watts before I finished my coffee.”

“I rent, so rooftop solar was never an option. This sits on a stand in the backyard and comes with me when I move. My summer bill dropped noticeably.”

“Ordered Tuesday, generating Thursday. Support actually picked up the phone when I asked about the fence mount. That alone is worth it.”

Questions, answered

The stuff everyone asks

Do I really not need a permit or an electrician?
For a plug-in kit this size, in most places, no — it plugs into a normal outdoor outlet like any other appliance. Rules vary by city and utility, so if you want to be certain, check with your utility first. We’ll point you to what to ask.
I rent. Can I still do this?
That’s who these kits were made for. Nothing is drilled or bolted to the building — panels hang on a railing, strap to a fence, or sit on a ground stand. When you move, it comes with you.
What will it actually power?
The $599 kit makes enough on a sunny day to cover a refrigerator plus everyday things like Wi-Fi, chargers and lights. Add the battery bundle and that power carries into the night. Real output depends on sun, season and shade.
What if my HOA has rules about panels?
Because nothing is permanently attached and the panels sit low on a patio, fence or stand, most setups stay well inside HOA rules. We’d still read your HOA’s guidelines before ordering.
Will it survive Texas weather?
The panels and inverter are rated for permanent outdoor use — rain, heat and UV. Panels carry a 25-year manufacturer warranty. In severe-weather season you can unhook a kit and store it in a few minutes.
Can I add more later?
Yes. Start with one kit, add panels or a battery when you’re ready. And when you outgrow plug-in entirely, our DIY catalog has the full off-grid and roof-mount gear — same company, same support.
Apartments, rentals & portfolios

Outfitting a whole building?

Landlords and property managers are already asking. If you want to put a kit on every balcony or patio in the complex, we’ll price it by the door, ship it on pallets, and give you one person to call.

Portfolio
  • Custom quote across properties
  • Net terms available
  • Install coordination
  • On-site walkthrough
  • Nothing structural. No roof work, no drilling, no unit rewiring — the same reason these work for renters makes them easy across a building.
  • An amenity that pays residents back. A lower power bill is a renewal argument, and the kit stays with the unit when they leave.
  • One contact, one invoice. Ordered on a PO, delivered on pallets, tracked in one place.
  • We check the hard part first. How your units are metered and what your utility allows — before you commit to a single kit.

Worth knowing: a whole-building rollout raises questions a single kit doesn’t — how each unit is metered, and what your utility permits across many connections at one address. That’s the first conversation we’ll have, not an afterthought. See where your state stands.
