The 20% reduction is CraftStrom's current site-wide promotion. The additional 5% requires booking an advisor call and using code SOLCOUNTRY5 at checkout.

1. Book your free advisor call

Visit CraftStrom's site and book a free advisor call. Their team can answer installation-specific questions, help you pick the right wattage for your space, and confirm which tier applies under your state's law. The 20% discount applies automatically on their site.

2. Use code SOLCOUNTRY5 at checkout

After your advisor call, enter SOLCOUNTRY5 at checkout for an additional 5% off the already-discounted price.

Choose your kit below, then use the advisor booking popup on CraftStrom's site to schedule your call — apply code SOLCOUNTRY5 at checkout for the extra 5%.

Sol Country earns a commission on CraftStrom purchases made with code SOLCOUNTRY5. The 20% site-wide discount is offered by CraftStrom to all customers. The additional 5% is Sol Country's exclusive arrangement. Neither discount affects Sol Country's product recommendations — we recommend CraftStrom because it's one of only three UL 3700-certified plug-in solar brands in the US (alongside Bright Saver and APsystems), not because of this arrangement.

Plug-in balcony solar

Kits for legalized states -
UL 3700 pending across the category.

Every kit on this page is built with UL-listed components (UL 1741 microinverters, UL-listed panels and hardware) and is designed to plug into a standard wall outlet. UL 3700 — the new plug-in solar system standard published December 2025 — has not yet been awarded to any kit; first system certifications are expected late 2026. Sol Country tracks certification status for every kit and flips the label the day it changes.

These are not portable power stations. These are grid-connected plug-in solar systems. They require a legalized state to install.

CHECK YOUR STATE BEFORE PURCHASING

Plug-in balcony solar kits require state legislation to legally connect to your home's wiring. If your state is not listed above, purchase a portable power station instead - available in all 50 states. See portable power options →
