Plug-in solar kits you can buy in the US
The honest list. The US plug-in market is still small in 2026: a handful of kits, a few certified microinverters, and a wave of products waiting for California's 2027 start. Prices are dated; nothing here is a sponsored placement.

Brands you have heard of, but cannot buy here yet
Anker SOLIX (Solarbank), Bluetti Balco, Zendure SolarFlow, Marstek Venus, Growatt NOAH, Enphase's IQ Balcony kit and Jackery's HomePower balcony system are all Europe-only as of this review. They are built for 230 V grids and Germany's 800 W rule. Several have said they are watching the US market; California's January 2027 start date is the obvious trigger. We will add them the day a US SKU appears.
How to read the certification column
- UL 1741 (or an ETL/CSA listing to it): the inverter shuts off when the grid goes down and meets power-quality rules. The minimum you should accept.
- UL 3700: the new standard written specifically for plug-in solar. State laws in Vermont and New Jersey require it; California and others accept "a nationally recognized testing laboratory." "Component-compliant" means the microinverter meets it but the whole kit was not tested as a system.
- UL 3741 is rooftop rapid-shutdown and is unrelated, despite the similar number.
Why price per watt can mislead
A 1,600 W or 2,000 W kit looks cheap per watt, but it exceeds the 1,200 W cap in every state law except Colorado's (1,920 W), needs a dedicated circuit and usually an electrician, and your utility can treat it as a normal interconnection. Buy for the law you live under, not for the spreadsheet.
Frequently asked questions
Why are Anker SOLIX, Bluetti, Zendure and Jackery missing?
Their balcony-solar systems are sold in Europe only. None had a US plug-in launch as of our last check. Their US portable power stations are a different product (no grid feed-in) and are not plug-in solar.
Which kits are actually UL 3700 certified?
UL 3700 is brand new (the certification program opened in January 2026). As of this review, only a few microinverters (Hoymiles HiFlow Pro, APsystems EZ1-LV) and one announced kit (Mango Power S) claim it, and most are "component-compliant" rather than whole-system listed. Expect many more by the California launch in 2027.
Is a cheaper kit from a marketplace okay?
It may work, but if the inverter has no UL 1741 listing it will not shut off safely in an outage, and it will not qualify under any state plug-in law. We only list products with a verifiable listing or a named certification claim.
Can I just buy a microinverter and add my own panels?
Yes, and it is often the cheapest route. An APsystems EZ1 or Hoymiles HiFlow Pro plus two 400 to 450 W panels and a rail mount typically lands around $700 to $1,000. Stay under your state's wattage cap and use a dedicated circuit.
