“Plug-in solar is a PV system, typically a panel and a micro-inverter, that connects directly to a standard household socket. It generates electricity from sunlight and feeds it into your home circuit, reducing the amount you draw from the grid. Unlike rooftop solar systems, plug-in solar panels can potentially be installed on balconies, fences, walls, shed roofs and other spaces.”
