How to install plug-in solar

No electrician needed. Most people are done in an afternoon.

1. Pick the sunniest spot – ideally facing south. Ideas.
2. Find a socket the cable can reach – an outdoor one is best. No extension leads.
3. Fit the mount exactly as the instructions say.
4. Connect the panels to the little inverter box.
5. Plug in and set up the app.
6. Register it (the kit tells you how) and let your home insurer know.
