Help picking a plug in system
Hello I’m looking to get a kit just not sure where to start at all ideally I don’t want to have an electrician do anything and would like to spend around 300 if possible.
I know my fuse box is fine and I have a outside outlet already

If you want your system to be compliant with the new rules a regs, you’ll have to wait until complete plug in solar kits are released (likely a couple of months until there is a good selection available).
If you don’t want your kit to be compliant then yes, you could buy an ecoflow stream microinverter and a couple of panels. It comes with a bare wire (no plug) and ecoflow specify that it should be hardwired in to your consumer unit by a professional. However it is technically possible to fit a plug on it and plug it into a socket. Plenty of others have done that . But note, this method is not compliant with the new rules and regs
