As the UK prepares for the introduction of plug-in solar systems, APsystems and UKSOL have announced their cooperation to support the growing demand for accessible, safe and reliable residential solar solutions.
The partnership brings together UKSOL’s high-quality solar modules and APsystems’ advanced microinverter technology, creating a compelling solution for homeowners, social housing providers and consumers seeking affordable access to renewable energy.
The UK Government has recently reinforced its commitment to reducing household energy bills and increasing energy independence through clean energy initiatives. Alongside the Warm Homes Scheme and wider renewable energy policies, plug-in solar systems are expected to play an increasingly important role in enabling households to generate their own electricity with minimal installation requirements.
A typical plug-in solar system consists of one or more solar panels, a microinverter, mounting equipment and a standard plug connection. Unlike conventional rooftop solar installations, these systems can be installed quickly and connected directly to a household socket, making solar energy more accessible for a wider range of consumers.
At the heart of these systems is the microinverter. APsystems’ EZ1 microinverter, specifically designed for balcony and plug-in solar applications, converts power at module level, improving system performance, safety and reliability. By eliminating high-voltage DC cabling and allowing each panel to operate independently, microinverter technology delivers significant advantages, particularly in urban environments where shading conditions can vary.
UKSOL, a British family-owned solar company, has built a strong reputation for quality, accountability and long-term customer support. Since 2015, the company has supplied solar solutions to more than 50 countries worldwide while maintaining a strong commitment to UK-based technical support and a 30-year British-backed warranty.
The collaboration is particularly relevant for the social housing sector, where UKSOL has already supplied significant volumes of solar capacity to help housing providers improve energy efficiency and reduce fuel poverty for residents.
Andrew Moore, Managing Director of UKSOL, said: “As the UK solar market continues to evolve, plug-in solar systems have the potential to make renewable energy accessible to a much broader audience. They offer a simple and affordable entry point for households looking to generate their own electricity and reduce their energy costs. At UKSOL, we are committed to delivering high-quality, reliable solar solutions, and our collaboration with APsystems brings together proven module technology and advanced microinverter innovation to support this growing market.”
Parmy Panesar, Sales Director UK/RSD EMEA at APsystems, commented: “Microinverter technology is becoming an increasingly important part of modern solar installations, delivering benefits in terms of safety, performance and system flexibility. The introduction of plug-in solar in the UK creates new opportunities for homeowners, tenants and housing providers to adopt solar energy with ease. APsystems’ EZ1 microinverter has been specifically developed for applications such as balcony and plug-in solar systems, making it an ideal complement to UKSOL’s high-quality solar modules. Together, we are helping to deliver safe, reliable and user-friendly solar solutions for the UK market.”
Together, APsystems and UKSOL believe that combining trusted British-backed solar modules with advanced microinverter technology will help accelerate the adoption of distributed solar energy across the UK. By making solar installations simpler, safer and more accessible, the partnership supports the country’s ambition to strengthen energy independence while reducing household energy costs.
