Backyard solar

Your yard already
gets the sun.

One panel, one stand, one outlet. Set it up on the grass, hang it on the fence, and start knocking dollars off the bill — then take the whole thing with you when you move.

Solar that isn’t stuck to the house

Rooftop solar means drilling into a roof you may not own, on a house you may not stay in. This is the opposite: nothing is bolted down, nothing is permanent, and nothing gets left behind.

Rental homes — no roof work, no landlord conversation about permanent changes
Townhomes — fits a small patio, side yard or courtyard
Moving soon? — unhook it in minutes and take it to the next place
Got a balcony instead? — the frame sits on a flat balcony floor

What it runs

Enough solar to run your refrigerator

No watt math. On a sunny day the 445W kit makes about what a refrigerator uses in a day.

Full-size refrigerator, all day
Wi-Fi, laptop and phone chargers
Living-room lights and the TV
Add the battery and it keeps going after sunset

Four ways to set it up

Wherever the sun hits

Same kit, same wall outlet. Pick the spot that gets the most afternoon sun — grass, gravel, pavers or a concrete pad all work, and because nothing is bolted down you can move it as the seasons change.

On the grass

The ground frame aims it straight at the sun. No tools, no holes.

Along the fence

Set it in front of the fence line, where the afternoon sun hits.

The kit

Everything in one kit

Panels, the plug-in inverter, mounts and cable — everything you need in one kit. Nothing else to buy, no contractor to book.

The stuff renters ask first

Do I need my landlord’s permission?

Nothing is drilled, bolted or wired into the building — the panels sit on a stand or strap to a fence and the inverter plugs into an existing outdoor outlet, like any appliance. Most leases have no issue with that, but it’s worth a quick heads-up to your landlord before you order.

What happens when I move?

Unplug it, unhook the panels, put them in the car. Setup at the new place takes about as long as it did the first time. That’s the whole point of a plug-in system.

My townhome has a tiny yard. Is it worth it?

If you have a few feet that catch afternoon sun — a patio corner, a side yard, a fence line — that’s enough for a kit. Small spaces are exactly what these were designed around.

What about my HOA?

Because nothing is permanently attached and the panels sit low behind the house, most setups stay well inside HOA rules. Read your guidelines first — and note that several states limit how far HOAs can restrict solar devices.

Start with one kit. Add more whenever.

Every kit is modular — add panels or a battery later, or step up to a full DIY system when you’re ready. Same company, same support line.
