28 Aug Octopus offers plug-in solar to customers
(Oilandgaspress) 28/08/26 – Octopus Energy becomes the first major energy supplier to roll out the tech following new rules coming into force.
The new plug-in system lets households generate their own electricity without installing traditional rooftop panels – meaning renters, flat-dwellers and people without a suitable roof can now get in on the solar boom and cut their bills.
Made to suit different homes and budgets, Octopus’ plug-in solar kits start at £450, with customers able to choose between a one or two-panel setup.
The company estimates households could save up to £150, depending on factors including sunlight levels and household energy use.*
For households opting for two panels, pairing the system with a smart export tariff could mean paying back the cost of the panels in just five and a half years.
The 460W panels can be wall- or floor-mounted and are designed to capture sunlight from both sides, and customers can track their generated electricity via the Octopus app.
The kit comes with a standard three-pin plug and a 5m cable, making it easy to slot in at home and help power up everyday appliances such as fridges, washing machines or TVs.
The system is designed for simple DIY installation, meaning customers can easily set it up themselves in just an hour and even take it with them if they decide to move.
