DIY grid-connect solar power
If you are keen on a grid-connected solar power system for your house or place of work but your can't afford to have a large system professionally installed, don't despair! With our carefully chosen equipment it is easy and legal to install it yourself. True, you won't qualify for the feed-in tariff payments but you will still have free electricity when the sun shines and be doing your bit for the planet.
Full details of DIY grid connect systems are in our DIY guide.
Almost any solar panels can be used, up to 700W per inverter. We recommend the Romag Powerglaz range, or for smaller installations the XM series. Click here to see our full range of panels, and don't hesitate to call for advice.
