Why a proper install matters
Plug-in solar panels became legal in Great Britain on 27 August 2026. EcoFlow's UK STREAM page says the battery is connected by a qualified electrician, not through a household socket. We wire it in, notify it under G98 and certify it. That's the bit we do, and we do it properly. Plug-in or hardwired? Read the guide.
What we install
From compact balcony-solar batteries to the 5kWh STREAM 5000 series, we wire them in, notify them and certify them. We install the full range — and if you've bought a different make of compliant home battery, ask us.

1.92kWh battery units built for plug-in balcony solar, storing daytime generation for evening use. Hardwired connection, G98 notification and certificate included.
The 3.84kWh big brother with 2,000W of solar input — double the storage for households with higher evening usage, on the same hardwired, notified installation.
AC-coupled storage battery with no solar inputs. Works alongside other STREAM units or a micro-inverter.
EcoFlow's 5.24kWh STREAM home battery. Wired to your consumer unit on its own circuit, not plugged into a socket, with the G98 notification and certificate included.
The storage-focused 5kWh sibling — charge on cheap overnight electricity with a smart tariff and use it at peak times.
Bought a different brand of home battery? If it's a compliant unit designed for hardwired installation, we can usually install, notify and certify it. Send us the model and we'll confirm.
How it works
Guides: Plug-in or hardwired? · STREAM and G98 · What sets the installation cost
Done properly
A home battery is connected to your consumer unit for the next decade. The circuit, the protection and the paperwork all have to be right — that's the job.

G98 is the process for telling your District Network Operator that generation or storage equipment up to 16A per phase (about 3.68kW) is connected at your property. Home batteries that export or interact with the grid need it. We handle the notification for you as part of the installation. G98 explained in full.
Not automatically. EcoFlow's own guidance says the earlier G98 or G99 should not be assumed to cover a new battery. We check what was notified for your existing system and the inverter first, and tell you whether the battery is a G98 notification or a G99 application before you commit. More in our G98 guide.
EcoFlow's UK STREAM page says the battery should be connected by a qualified electrician and not fed through a household socket. Some of EcoFlow's marketing calls STREAM plug and play, which is why people ask: plug-in or hardwired explained. What we provide is the dedicated way at the consumer unit, the G98 notification and an electrical certificate.
The EcoFlow STREAM range — STREAM Pro, STREAM Ultra, STREAM Ultra X and STREAM AC Pro — plus the new STREAM 5000 and STREAM AC 5000 5kWh units. If you've bought a different make of home battery, ask us — if it's a compliant unit we can usually install and notify it.
We install. You buy the battery, we wire it in, notify it and certify it. Tell us the model you've bought or are planning to buy and we'll give you one clear price.
A standard installation — battery near the consumer unit, dedicated circuit, G98 notification and certificate — is typically completed in a single visit. If your consumer unit needs work to take the new circuit, we'll price that clearly before anything starts.
No — we don't install roof solar. The STREAM range is designed around plug-in balcony solar and battery storage; our job is the battery side: the hardwired connection, the G98 notification and the certificate.
