Indielux and EPP Solar have launched a 6 kW plug-in PV system designed for simple, plug-and-play installation that doesn’t require an electrician. Available in several countries, this innovative system makes solar energy more affordable and accessible to homeowners.
‘World’s Largest’ Plug-In PV System with Storage Option
German companies Indielux and EPP Solar have unveiled what they’re calling the world’s largest plug-in PV system—a 6 kW solar unit designed to make sustainable energy more accessible. This residential system connects directly to a home’s existing electrical setup via a safety plug, eliminating the need for professional installation. It’s available for pre-order ahead of a December launch in Germany, France, Austria, Poland, and Spain.
The system features Indielux’s “Ready2plugin” technology, which simplifies installation to little more than plugging the unit into a standard socket. It is reportedly the only system of its kind allowing for a safe, compliant connection to existing electrical infrastructure without an electrician. Indielux confirms the technology ensures safe operation and full compliance with European electrical standards, making solar power even more accessible to homeowners.
Patrick Willemer, Managing Director of EPP Solar, highlighted the system’s cost advantages. He noted that the collaboration between Indielux’s advanced technology and EPP Solar’s extensive logistics network creates a “price advantage of up to 55% compared to traditional providers for a fully-fledged photovoltaic system with power storage.”
Flexible Power and Storage Options to Meet Consumer Needs
The system uses efficient bifacial solar modules that capture sunlight on both sides, offering power outputs from 3 kW to 6 kW. A flexible modular design allows homeowners to scale the system to their specific energy needs, with battery options ranging from 5.1 kWh to 25.6 kWh for storing excess power.
This flexibility allows homeowners to tailor the system to their specific energy consumption patterns, choosing an optimal power and storage configuration to maximize savings and reduce reliance on the public grid.
Modular plug-in PV system with bifacial panels and scalable storage for optimized, grid-independent home energy.
An integrated energy management function optimizes energy use and reduces waste. The system intelligently limits the power it feeds into the public grid to 800 W, controlling energy flow and preventing overloads. For direct household use, its compliant socket supplies up to 2,000 W, with an included emergency power socket delivering up to 3,000 W when needed.
To monitor and manage energy output, the Ready2plugin power monitor integrates with the Growatt WR SPH 3000 TL BL-UP inverter. This integration provides users with real-time energy data to track usage, storage levels, and overall system performance.
Built to Perform in a Range of Conditions
The plug-in PV system is built to operate efficiently across diverse environments, with a working temperature range of -10°C to 50°C. Its robust design ensures reliable performance in various weather conditions, making it an adaptable solution for homes in different climates.
Pricing for the plug-in PV system starts at €4,700 (about $5,120). Ahead of its official December launch, EPP Solar is offering special pricing and discounts, allowing early adopters to secure the innovative system at a reduced cost.
With energy costs rising across Europe, this plug-in PV system arrives at a crucial time, enabling more households to access clean energy without a significant upfront investment. The pre-order period also gives consumers a chance to explore different configuration options and select a system tailored to their needs.
This plug-in PV system brings renewable energy within reach for more people across Germany, France, Austria, Poland, and Spain. Its innovative technology and flexible design represent a significant step forward in residential solar, letting consumers enjoy the benefits of clean energy with ease.
