Plug-In Solar is here. Unfold. Plug In. Power Up. Sundrop solar panels on a patio at sunset, plugging into a standard outlet

Meet plug-in solar—the biggest shift in home energy since the rooftop panel. Sundrop is a solar kit that deploys in your yard, patio, or balcony in minutes and plugs straight into a standard wall outlet. No roof installation, no electrician, and in states that have passed plug-in solar legislation, no utility interconnection agreement. It’s the simplest way to generate your own power, now available in a growing number of U.S. states.

Solar Made Simple. Just Add Sun.

Hey, I’m Wattz! Welcome to Sundrop.

Wherever you call home

Balcony rail, backyard lawn, stone patio, or a gravel strip by the wall — Sundrop unfolds, tilts to the sun, and plugs into a standard outlet.

How it works

Solar without the roof, the contractor, or the wait

Rooftop solar means permits, electricians, holes in your roof, and months of utility paperwork. A Sundrop kit unfolds in your yard or patio, plugs into an outdoor outlet, and starts powering your home the same afternoon.

How a plug-in solar kit powers your home Sunlight hits the solar panels and DC power flows to the microinverter, which converts it to 120-volt AC. The kit plugs into a standard outlet, and appliances in the home run on solar first and grid second. DC DC in AC out 120 V, 60 Hz, grid-synced AC Solar first, grid second
  1. Unfold the panels

    Set the folding frame in your yard, patio, or balcony, facing the sun.

  2. The microinverter converts

    It turns the panels' DC power into the 120V AC your home already uses.

  3. Plug into an outlet

    Connect to a standard outdoor outlet. No rewiring, no electrician.

  4. Your home runs on sun

    Appliances use your solar power first and draw from the grid only for the rest.

Track your energy generation live, right from your phone — every watt you generate is a watt you don't buy.

No roof. No contractor. No months of paperwork. Solar you set up yourself, and it moves with you.

Plug-in solar rules vary by state. Check your state's requirements before you connect.

Sundrop kits are grid-tie systems for outdoor ground deployment and require a grounded 120V (NEMA 5-15) outlet. Sundrop is not a backup power source and provides no power during grid outages.

Here’s the bright idea…

Built to the standards that matter

Safety First

Every Sundrop kit is engineered to support the two safety standards that matter most for plug-in solar — so you can generate your own power with confidence.

UL 1741

The national standard for grid-connected inverters

At the heart of each kit is a microinverter that supports UL 1741 SB, with built-in anti-islanding protection. It only produces power alongside a live utility grid and shuts down automatically the moment the grid goes out or the plug is pulled — keeping your family and utility line crews safe.

UL 3700

The first North American standard written for plug-in solar

UL 3700 builds on that foundation by evaluating the complete system — panels, microinverter, cord, plug, and frame — not just individual parts.

What UL 3700 looks for

  • Shock protection

    Ground-fault protection that keeps working while power flows from the panels.

  • Fire safety

    Overcurrent protection that keeps your home’s wiring from overloading.

  • Dead-when-unplugged prongs

    Plug prongs go dead the moment the kit is unplugged.

  • Grounded, weather-ready frame

    A grounded mounting frame built to stand up to wind, snow, and weather.
