What’s in the kit

One panel. One plug. Done.

No wondering if the parts match. Set the frame down, weigh it down, plug it in.

  • Hanersun 445W solar panel — one full-size panel
  • Hoymiles HiFlow plug-in inverter (HMS-420-1MW-LV) — nothing to configure
  • Solwel racking — stands on the ground, or wall-mounts with the pre-drilled holes
  • AC power cord — into a standard outdoor outlet
  • Not included: ballast — pavers or sandbags hold the frame down on the ground
Real-world power

What will it actually run?

No watt math required. Here's what each kit covers on a typical sunny day.

Estimates based on typical appliance draw and a sunny day with good panel placement — production varies with weather, season, and shade.

No backyard? No problem.

If you've got sun and a socket, you're in

Same kit, same wall outlet — four ways to set it up. Renters, homeowners, and roamers all get the same savings.

Balcony or wall

Stand it on a flat balcony floor, or wall-mount it with the racking’s pre-drilled holes.

Backyard ground frame

Set the panel on its frame in the yard and angle it straight at the sun.

Patio or side yard

The frame sits flat on pavers or concrete — nothing drilled, sunny side wins.

RV, van & shed

Featherweight flex panels grommet-mount to almost any surface that sees sky.

Stupid simple

Live in 15 minutes

Set it down

On the grass, a patio or a flat balcony floor — weigh the frame down with pavers or sandbags. Nothing drilled.

Plug it in

Plug the cord into any outdoor outlet. That's it — that's the whole install.

Watch it pay you

Open the app and watch watts flow into your apartment — and dollars off your bill.

Questions, answered

The stuff everyone asks

Do I really not need a permit or an electrician?
For a plug-in kit this size, in most places, no — it plugs into a normal outdoor outlet like any other appliance. Rules vary by city and utility, so if you want to be certain, check with your utility first. We’ll point you to what to ask.
I rent. Can I still do this?
That’s who these kits were made for. Nothing is drilled or bolted to the building — panels hang on a railing, strap to a fence, or sit on a ground stand. When you move, it comes with you.
What will it actually power?
The $799 kit makes enough on a sunny day to cover a refrigerator plus everyday things like Wi-Fi, chargers and lights. Add the battery bundle and that power carries into the night. Real output depends on sun, season and shade.
What if my HOA has rules about panels?
Because nothing is permanently attached and the panels sit low on a patio, fence or stand, most setups stay well inside HOA rules. We’d still read your HOA’s guidelines before ordering.
Will it survive Texas weather?
The panels and inverter are rated for permanent outdoor use — rain, heat and UV. Panels carry a 25-year manufacturer warranty. In severe-weather season you can unhook a kit and store it in a few minutes.
Can I add more later?
Yes. Start with one kit, add panels or a battery when you’re ready. And when you outgrow plug-in entirely, our DIY catalog has the full off-grid and roof-mount gear — same company, same support.
Apartments, rentals & portfolios

Outfitting a whole building?

Landlords and property managers are already asking. If you want to put a kit on every balcony or patio in the complex, we’ll price it by the door, coordinate delivery, and give you one person to call.

Portfolio
  • Custom quote across properties
  • Net terms available
  • Install coordination
  • On-site walkthrough
  • Nothing structural. No roof work, no drilling, no unit rewiring — the same reason these work for renters makes them easy across a building.
  • An amenity that pays residents back. A lower power bill is a renewal argument, and the kit stays with the unit when they leave.
  • One contact, one invoice. Ordered on a PO, delivered on pallets, tracked in one place.
  • We check the hard part first. How your units are metered and what your utility allows — before you commit to a single kit.

Worth knowing: a whole-building rollout raises questions a single kit doesn’t — how each unit is metered, and what your utility permits across many connections at one address. That’s the first conversation we’ll have, not an afterthought. See where your state stands.
