Micro inverter comparison 2026

The best micro inverters, compared.

Top pick: elejoy EGMI-500 – Highest stored score in this set, 96, from 4.8 across seven reviews, three of them from the United Kingdom. Seven reviews are still a small sample, and no UK 13 A plug is named. Best value: VKY NEP 800 W – Lowest shelf price with a star line, about £92, score 74. The output-voltage field says 60 V DC, and the reviews are not from the United Kingdom. Updated October 2026.

A micro inverter turns direct current from one photovoltaic module, or a pair of modules, into alternating current that runs in parallel with the UK mains. You buy one so each module can track its own output, on a balcony, a flat roof or a small array. The plug-in route is a maximum rated AC output of 800 W into one fixed BS 1363 socket, with one device per customer installation. A hard-wired roof unit follows BS 7671. G98 is connect-and-notify for fully type-tested micro-generators up to and including 16 A per phase, 3.68 kW on a single phase. The checks that stay useful when the range on sale changes are in the [micro inverter buying guide](/hub/electrical-equipment/micro-inverter/sub/micro-inverter-buying-guide). Read the AC watts with the voltage and the frequency. UK mains are 230 V at 50 Hz, so a 120 V or 60 Hz field is outside this route. Two independent MPPT inputs suit two modules facing different ways, and one shared tracker does not. A grid-tie unit stops when the mains stop.

elejoy EGMI-500

Rank 1

elejoy EGMI-500

∼£100

Our view

Across seven amazon.co.uk reviews at 4.8, the elejoy EGMI-500 is listed at £99.99 as a 500 W pure sine inverter, with an MPPT window of 22–50 V for one module from 355 W to 670 W and above. Three of those reviews are from the United Kingdom and call the setup easy, the case waterproof and the app clear. Two further reviews in the file are from Germany, and one of them says no EC declaration was found. The highlight says plug-and-play with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and the Smart Life app, and it does not name a BS 1363 plug or a G98 line. One field prints 1.8 kg and a bullet prints 1.2 kg, and the warranty field is one year. It is the top pick in this set because the stored score is the highest, at the star line times 20, and seven reviews is still a small sample. It is a single-module listing, not a two-panel kit.

Pros

  • 500 W listing with a 230 V AC field
  • Single-module MPPT range of 22–50 V stated
  • IP65 and fanless cooling stated
  • Three United Kingdom reviews describe an easy setup

Cons

  • Only seven reviews, so the 4.8 is a small sample
  • No UK 13 A plug and no G98 line
  • Weight printed as both 1.8 kg and 1.2 kg
  • Warranty field is one year

Best for: One module in the stated 355–670 W band, if you accept a short review file and no named UK plug

Less suitable: Two modules, or a socket install that needs a printed G98 model and a BS 1363 plug in the title

Solarsys 800 W kit

Rank 2

Solarsys 800 W kit

∼£140

Our view

Across 12 amazon.co.uk reviews, all of them from the United Kingdom, the Solarsys 800 W kit is listed at £139.99 with dual MPPT for two panels of 300–550 W, IP67, 230 V at 50 Hz, and a 3 m lead to a UK 13 A plug. Reviewers often praise that included lead. More than one could not find an approval listing, one names the hardware as Elecway VN2T, and one unit was reported dead after 23 days. The standards field says CE. A bullet mentions off-grid auxiliary use, while the same reviews say the inverter looks for grid voltage and stops in a power cut or on an isolated shed. Those reviews also say a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network is rejected and that the app can show zero while the unit is generating. The warranty field is one year against manufacturer defects.

Pros

  • Only title in this set that names a UK 13 A plug
  • Twelve United Kingdom reviews at 4.1
  • Dual MPPT for two panels of 300–550 W
  • Reviews say it stops when the mains stop

Cons

  • Reviewers could not find an approval listing
  • One unit was reported dead after 23 days
  • Warranty field is one year
  • The off-grid bullet disagrees with the reviews

Best for: Two modules on a lead that the title calls a UK 13 A plug, if you treat the register as still unchecked

Less suitable: An off-grid shed, a power cut, or a buyer who needs a confirmed ENA line in the listing

The bullet mentions off-grid auxiliary projects. United Kingdom reviews say the inverter looks for grid voltage and stops in a power cut or on an isolated shed.

What do the 12 reviews agree on?

All 12 are from the United Kingdom. Setup with the included lead is often praised. More than one reviewer could not find an approval listing, and one unit was reported dead after 23 days.

VKY NEP 800 W

Rank 3

VKY NEP 800 W

∼£92

Our view

The VKY listing is an NEP 800 W inverter at £92, with IP67 in a bullet and one power cable in the box line. Across 26 amazon.co.uk reviews the star line is 3.7, and the saved review text is from Poland, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, so it is not British experience. Reviewers describe Wi-Fi setup trouble, and several say the mains cable was missing. The output-voltage field prints 60 V DC, while the title is an inverter and the waveform field says pure sine. A bullet claims a 12-year warranty, expandable to 25, plus CE, and no UK 13 A plug is named. It is the best value here only as the lowest shelf price with a star line. The 60 V field still has to be settled before you treat the listing as a UK socket inverter.

Pros

  • Lowest shelf price in this file, at £92
  • Title and wattage field both say 800 W
  • IP67 stated in a bullet
  • Wi-Fi or PLC monitoring claimed

Cons

  • Output-voltage field says 60 V DC
  • The 26 reviews are not from the United Kingdom
  • Several reviews say the mains cable was missing
  • No UK 13 A plug is named

Best for: Comparing an 800 W title at the bottom of this price file, while you still check the voltage field

Less suitable: A UK socket install that needs a named 13 A plug and a 230 V field

No. The reviews saved in the saved listing are from Poland, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. Several describe Wi-Fi setup trouble or a missing mains cable.

BATENORY 800 W

Rank 4

BATENORY 800 W

∼£130

Our view

The BATENORY listing is an 800 W dual-MPPT inverter at £129.99, with a 230 V field, a 5 m AC cable, IP67 and the Solarman app. The technical bullet gives an MPPT window of 25–55 V, a 60 V maximum input, 2 × 13.5 A and a maximum AC current of 3.47 A. A bullet claims UKCA and G98, and the warranty field says 10 years, with no certificate number printed. The file has no customer-review line, so there is no star score and no comment on whether the cable ends in a 13 A plug. The colour field says Schwarz. A G98 word in a bullet is not an ENA register line, and this file does not show one. The manufacturer field says Astro Energy.

Pros

  • Two MPPT channels on an 800 W, 230 V listing
  • 5 m AC cable in the title and the box line
  • IP67 and a 10-year warranty field
  • UKCA and G98 named in a bullet

Cons

  • No customer reviews in the file
  • The plug face is not described as UK 13 A
  • The G98 claim has no certificate number
  • Colour field says Schwarz, which is not a UK specification

Best for: A dual-input 800 W title at £129.99, if you will confirm the model on the ENA register before you buy

Less suitable: Anyone who needs review evidence, or a title that already names a UK 13 A plug

MPPT 25–55 V, maximum input 60 V, 2 × 13.5 A, short-circuit 2 × 16.5 A, maximum AC current 3.47 A, 800 W and 230 V.

COAKUE 800 W title

Rank 5

COAKUE 800 W title

∼£147

Our view

The COAKUE title selects 800 W from a list running from 300 W to 1600 W, at £147.25, and the bullets claim IP65 plus a mobile app. The specification fields say 120 V AC and 60 Hz, and the peak-output field says 1200 W, so the title and the table disagree. Another bullet says 120 V and 230 V adapt automatically, and that the output turns off when the grid fails. The number-of-items field is 20. There is no customer-review line, no named UK plug, no standards claim and no warranty field. A 120 V, 60 Hz table is outside UK 230 V, 50 Hz mains, whatever the title wattage says.

Pros

  • Title selects 800 W from a longer wattage list
  • A bullet states shutdown when the grid fails
  • IP65 is claimed
  • A mobile app is claimed

Cons

  • Specification fields say 120 V AC and 60 Hz
  • Peak field says 1200 W against an 800 W title
  • No reviews, no UK plug and no standards line
  • The number-of-items field is 20

Best for: Only a check against a listing whose own fields say 120 V and 60 Hz

Less suitable: A balcony or roof on UK 230 V, 50 Hz mains

The title selects 800 W from a list that also includes 300 W up to 1600 W. The peak-output field says 1200 W.

Does the listing say it stops if the grid fails?

Yes. One bullet says the output turns off when the power grid fails, and that input and output are isolated.

PioMue 1400 W title

Rank 6

PioMue 1400 W title

∼£160

Our view

The PioMue title selects 1400 W at £160 from a four-wattage list, and it carries model number 1v5un-924923, the same number as the 1800 W PioMue row. The shared bullets claim automatic 120/230 V detection, IP65, self-cooling and an app, for 30 V or 36 V panels and 36 V batteries. The package line is 10 × 10 × 10 cm and the weight is 1 kg, which does not read as a 1400 W outdoor inverter. There is no review text, no 50 Hz figure, no UK plug and no standards field. On the title, 1400 W AC is already above the 800 W plug-in cap. You cannot treat this ASIN and the 1800 W ASIN as two separately tested models.

Pros

  • Title selects 1400 W from a four-wattage list
  • Bullet claims automatic 120/230 V detection
  • IP65 and self-cooling are claimed
  • An app or Wi-Fi is claimed

Cons

  • Same model number as the 1800 W listing
  • Package printed as 10 cm and 1 kg
  • No reviews and no 50 Hz figure
  • 1400 W is above the 800 W plug-in cap

Best for: Seeing how one model number is titled at two wattages, not as a UK socket purchase

Less suitable: A balcony socket, or anyone who needs a distinct tested 1400 W unit

This title selects 1400 W at £160. ASIN B0FVT3L5DS selects 1800 W at £164.22. Both use model number 1v5un-924923 and the same bullets.

What voltage does the bullet state?

Automatic 120/230 V AC detection, for 30 V or 36 V panels and 36 V batteries. No 50 Hz figure is printed.

Is there a review line?

No. The saved listing has no customer-review line and no review text.

PioMue 1800 W title

Rank 7

PioMue 1800 W title

∼£164

Our view

The PioMue title at £164.22 selects 1800 W from a line that also prints 1200 W, 1400 W and 1600 W. Model number 1v5un-924923, the bullets and the image match the 1400 W listing in this file. IP65 and an app are claimed, and the package line is again 10 × 10 × 10 cm at 1 kg. The saved listing has no reviews, no BS 1363 plug and no standards field. An 1800 W title is outside the 800 W AC plug-in route. The shared model number means the wattage at the end of the title is a menu choice, not evidence of a second product.

Pros

  • Title selects 1800 W from a four-wattage list
  • IP65 is claimed
  • An app or Wi-Fi is claimed
  • Automatic 120/230 V appears in the shared bullet

Cons

  • Identical model number to the 1400 W row
  • Package printed as 1 kg and 10 cm
  • No reviews, no UK plug and no 50 Hz figure
  • Above the 800 W plug-in cap on the title

Best for: Comparing a duplicate title, not buying a unit for a UK socket

Micro inverter buying guide

Use this order before you compare prices. Confirm you want a grid-tie micro inverter, not a battery inverter for a van or a power cut. Read the AC watts with the voltage and frequency, then count independent MPPT inputs. Check the plug, the fuse and whether that exact model is marked compliant. Warranty, the app and whether the reviews were written in the United Kingdom come after those checks. A low shelf price does not repair a 120 V or 60 Hz field.

What is a micro inverter?

A micro inverter turns direct current from one photovoltaic module, or a pair of modules, into alternating current that runs in parallel with the UK mains. It is a grid-tie device. When the mains stop, it stops. It will not run a house during a power cut, a van, or a shed that is off the grid. A 12 V or 24 V battery inverter is a different category.

Best for

  • A balcony or shed roof, one socket device at or under 800 W AC, including renters who have permission
  • Two modules facing different ways, where you need two independent MPPT inputs and an electrician for hard-wired work

Not ideal for

  • A power cut, a van, or a shed that is not connected to the mains
  • A second plug-in unit on the same customer installation, or panel DC power you cannot assess

Mistakes to avoid

  1. 1

    Reading panel watts as the 800 W cap

    The plug-in limit is rated AC output, not the watts printed on the modules. A pair of large panels can sit well above the inverter's AC figure. The memorandum caps panels at 2,000 W DC, and Electrical Safety First asks for an assessment above 960 W DC.

  2. 2

    Trusting a G98 word, or skipping 120 V

    A CE mark, a UKCA bullet or the word G98 is a claim until the ENA register shows that model as compliant. Submitted is not compliant. In the same pass, read the voltage and frequency fields. A 120 V or 60 Hz row is not UK mains, whatever the title wattage says.

  3. 3

    A second plug-in unit, or an off-grid bullet

    The plug-in case is one device per customer installation. Adding another socket inverter is outside that rule. A grid-tie unit stops when the mains stop. An off-grid line in a bullet does not make it run a power cut, a van or a shed that is not on the mains.

What to weigh up

AC output, voltage and frequency

High

Read alternating-current watts and the voltage fields together. The plug-in route is a maximum rated AC output not exceeding 800 W, into a fixed BS 1363 socket. A title of 1,400 W or 1,800 W is already above that cap. Panel watts are not the cap. The cap is the rated AC output. UK mains are 230 V at 50 Hz. A specification field that says 120 V or 60 Hz is outside that route, even if a bullet says 120 V and 230 V adapt automatically.

Plug, fuse and the register

High

Check the plug, the fuse and the register before the price. The plug-in route needs a non-rewirable BS 1363-1 plug with a BS 1362 fuse of 5 A or less. A box line that says only a power cable, or a 5 m AC cable, does not name that plug. Outdoor parts need at least IP55. A CE mark, a UKCA bullet or the word G98 is a claim until the ENA register marks that exact model compliant. Submitted is not compliant. No certificate number in a bullet is not a register line.

Which option suits you?

Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.

One module on a balcony

You have one module in the stated 355–670 W band and you can accept a short review file. The elejoy EGMI-500 is about £99.99, with 4.8 from seven reviews and a 230 V AC field. It does not name a BS 1363 plug.

Our recommendation

View offer

Two modules and a named UK plug

You are connecting two modules of 300–550 W and you want a title that names a UK 13 A plug. The Solarsys 800 W kit is about £139.99, with 4.1 from 12 United Kingdom reviews. Reviewers could not find an approval listing, so the register is still your check.

Lowest price with a star line

You are comparing the bottom of this price file and you will read the voltage field before you buy. The VKY NEP 800 W is about £92, with 3.7 from 26 reviews that are not from the United Kingdom. The output-voltage field says 60 V DC.

Common questions about micro inverters

What is a micro inverter?
A micro inverter turns direct current from one photovoltaic module, or a pair of modules, into alternating current that runs in parallel with the UK mains. A grid-tie unit stops when the mains stop. It will not run a power cut, a van or an off-grid shed. A 12 V or 24 V battery inverter is a different category. Plug-in units are the socket route, with a maximum rated AC output of 800 W.
Which micro inverter is the top pick in this set?
The top pick is the elejoy EGMI-500. The stored score is 96, from 4.8 across seven amazon.co.uk reviews, three of them from the United Kingdom. It is a 500 W single-module listing with a 230 V AC field. It does not name a BS 1363 plug or a G98 line. Skip it for two modules, or if the title must name a UK plug. Seven reviews are a small sample. This is not a lab test.
Which listing is best value?
Best value is the VKY NEP 800 W at about £92, the lowest shelf price here that still has a star line. That line is 3.7 from 26 reviews, score 74. The reviews are from Poland, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, not the United Kingdom. The output-voltage field says 60 V DC, no UK 13 A plug is named, and several reviews say the mains cable was missing. Settle the voltage field before you treat it as a socket inverter.
What is the UK plug-in limit?
The plug-in limit is a maximum rated AC output of 800 W into one fixed BS 1363 socket, one device per customer installation, still notified to the distribution network operator. It is sunlight only. Panel watts are not the cap. A title of 1,400 W or 1,800 W is outside the route. The plug should be a non-rewirable BS 1363-1 plug with a BS 1362 fuse of 5 A or less.
Does a G98 or UKCA line on the listing make it compliant?
No. A CE mark, a UKCA bullet or the word G98 is only a claim until the ENA register shows that exact model as compliant. Submitted is not compliant. G98 is connect-and-notify for fully type-tested micro-generators up to and including 16 A per phase, and you notify the distribution network operator within 28 days. BS EN 62109 is product safety, not grid permission. These files do not show a register line for any listing.
Will a micro inverter run in a power cut?
A grid-tie micro inverter stops when the mains stop. It will not run a house in a power cut, a van, or a shed that is not on the mains. A bullet about off-grid use does not change that. Power from a 12 V or 24 V battery, with no grid, is a different category. See the 1000W power inverter comparison.
What leads are banned on a plug-in micro inverter?
Do not use an extension lead, a cable reel, a multi-way adaptor, a travel adaptor or a plug-in RCD adaptor. That list is from Electrical Safety First. Use a fixed BS 1363 socket. If you cannot identify the circuit or the residual-current device, if panel DC power is above 960 W, or if the work is hard-wired, call an electrician. The socket steps are in how to install a micro inverter.
What do micro inverters cost on amazon.co.uk?
In this file the shelf prices run from about £92 to about £164.22. Under £110 the paperwork in this set is thin. The dual-MPPT 800 W listings cluster from about £130 to about £150. An amazon.co.uk search on 21 October 2026, separate from these seven listings, showed named 800 W units around £120 to £149. Energy Saving Trust puts a full system from about £450. Do not turn a bill estimate into a promise for one listing.

In this set of seven amazon.co.uk listings, the top pick is the elejoy EGMI-500 at about £99.99. The stored score is 96, from 4.8 across seven reviews, three of them from the United Kingdom. It is a 500 W single-module listing with a 230 V AC field, a one-year warranty field, and no named BS 1363 plug. Best value is the VKY NEP 800 W at about £92, score 74, because it is the lowest shelf price that still has a star line. The output-voltage field says 60 V DC, and the 26 reviews are not from the United Kingdom. Neither score is a lab test. A grid-tie unit stops when the mains stop.
