PluggedSolar 800W Plug-In Kit
Four 200W panels with a UL 1741 micro grid-tie inverter, WiFi monitor, and 50-ft cord. Sold on Amazon — the most accessible DIY option. Simply plugs into a wall outlet. 800W fits all current US plug-in solar watt caps.
EcoFlow STREAM Microinverter Kit
Battery-free version of the STREAM system — just the microinverter for plug-in daytime generation. Add EcoFlow battery modules later. Available in all US legal states — check EcoFlow US for current offers.
CraftStrom 400W Eco Line Plug-In Kit

More power or battery storage for evening useEcoFlow STREAM Ultra (with battery)
EcoFlow's flagship: hybrid microinverter + 1.92kWh LFP battery in one unit. Stores daytime generation for evening use — key in zero-export states. Microinverter wakes at just 3W input. Available in all US legal states — check EcoFlow US for current offers.
Premium
Best components, longest warranty, true zero-exportCraftStrom 800W Plug & Play Kit
Four 200W bifacial semi-flexible panels with two ETL/UL 1741 smart microinverters and a smart power meter that adjusts output every 0.1s for true zero-export. No interconnection agreement needed. 10-year warranty, ~1,872 kWh/yr estimated. Texas-based support.
Standalone panels for custom builds. Pair one or two panels with a microinverter below. The Hoymiles HMS-800 and APsystems EZ1 both accept up to two panels.
Renogy 200W Monocrystalline Solar Panel
200W rigid monocrystalline panel with MC4 connectors. Pairs with any 200W-input microinverter. 25-year power warranty. ETL certified. Popular starter choice for custom builds.
Renogy 400W Monocrystalline Solar Panel
400W high-efficiency mono panel. Dual-MPPT microinverters like the Hoymiles HMS-800 can handle two of these for an 800W custom build. 25-year power warranty.
Jackery SolarSaga 100W Light Solar Panel
Bendable, 4.5 lb bifacial panel (25% efficiency) rated IP68 waterproof. Amazon's listing calls out balcony and rooftop use specifically. Pairs naturally with any Jackery Explorer battery, or with a standalone microinverter for direct grid-tie use.
Renogy 100W Monocrystalline Solar Panel
100W rigid monocrystalline panel with MC4 connectors — a smaller sibling to Renogy's 200W and 400W panels. Good building block for a compact custom build or an add-on panel for an existing microinverter with spare input capacity. 25-year power warranty. ETL certified.
Hoymiles HMS-800-2T-NA Microinverter
UL 1741 dual-MPPT microinverter (North-America model). Pair with your own panels for a custom build. 99.8% MPPT efficiency, integrated WiFi monitoring. Configurable output for state-cap compliance (all states currently allow up to 1,200W).
APsystems EZ1 Microinverter
Plug-in dual-module microinverter for 120V circuits — the inverter used in the US Solar Supplier 810W kit. UL 1741 with built-in monitoring. Configurable output for state-cap compliance.
Optional add-on for evening self-consumption. Batteries aren't required — but if your state doesn't offer net metering, storing excess daytime generation is how you maximize savings.
EcoFlow DELTA Mini (1kWh Battery)
1kWh LFP battery with solar input (MC4 compatible). Store daytime solar generation and use it at night. 2,500+ charge cycle lifespan. 800W AC output. Pairs with any plug-in solar setup.

Jackery Explorer 300 Plus (288Wh Battery)
Compact 288Wh LFP power station with MC4 solar input (100W max). Lightweight (8.3 lbs) entry point for pairing with a single 100–200W plug-in panel — good for topping off small daytime loads before stepping up to a bigger battery.
Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 (2.04kWh Battery)
Whole-apartment-scale 2.04kWh LFP power station, 2200W AC output, MC4 solar input (400W max). Big enough to carry a full plug-in solar day's generation into the evening, or serve as a home-backup battery on its own.
Balcony Railing Mounting Brackets
Aluminum railing clamps with 0–30° adjustable tilt for two panels. No drilling — clamps onto a standard balcony railing. The most common balcony mount.
Adjustable Tilt Mount Brackets (pair)
Aluminum tilt legs (15–30°) for flat roofs, ground, or patios. Fits 50–400W panels. Use to dial in your latitude angle for peak output.
MC4 Extension Cable (10 ft pair)
10 AWG MC4 extension pair (red + black) to reach from your panel to the inverter when the included cable is too short. Waterproof IP68 connectors, UV-resistant.
MC4 Extension Cable for EcoFlow (20 ft, 2-pack)
20-ft 6mm² pure-copper MC4 extension, set of 2 — compatible with EcoFlow and other panel systems for longer runs to a distant outlet.
