Anker SOLIX Balcony Solar Kit
A tidy 'everything in one box' kit, with panels, microinverter and mounts, which is what renters want. But this model isn't on the ENA plug-in register, so it can't currently be self-installed in Great Britain, and the optional battery is excluded by the rules either way.

Cheap, well-built and battery-free out of the box, and on paper the kind of device the UK plug-in rules were written for. But EcoFlow's GB plug-in filing was marked non-compliant and withdrawn, so it isn't on the ENA register and can't currently be self-installed. Wait for a listed model before buying for plug-in use.
