Renters welcome

Plug-in solar

Solar for the half of your workforce who don't own their roof.

Plug-in solar is a small panel set for a balcony, wall, fence or garden that connects to a standard socket and offsets the home's background electricity use. No scaffolding, no structural work, and it moves house when your employee does.

Exactly what your people get.

  • One or two panels with a micro-inverter, mounted on a balcony rail, wall bracket or garden frame.

  • Plugs into a normal domestic socket, no rewiring and no electrician visit required.

  • Sized to cover always-on load: fridge, router, standby and daytime devices.

  • Fully portable, so it comes along at the end of a tenancy.

What it actually changes in an employee's home.

Renters are finally included

Most home energy benefits quietly exclude anyone who does not own a house. This one does not.

Low entry cost

It is the most affordable way into home generation, which matters for younger and lower-paid employees.

Nothing to negotiate

No permanent alteration means no landlord consent process and no reinstatement at the end of the tenancy.

A first step, not a dead end

Households that start here often move on to a full array when they buy, inside the same scheme.
