More as we build.
Good questions.
Clear answers.
QWhat is plug-in solar?
A small solar kit — typically on a balcony, wall or garden — that connects to a standard socket instead of being hard-wired. In Great Britain, kits are limited to 800 W of output and must meet the applicable product and network rules.
QDoes SunSocket sell solar panels?
No. SunSocket AI is software. It is designed to work with certified kits from many brands, helping you pick one, connect it correctly and get more value from it.
QI rent. Can I still use it?
Many renters will need landlord consent first. SunSocket is designed to make that request simple and to keep the paperwork in one place.
QHow do I get early access?
Register your interest and we will contact you as pilot places become available.
