The New York Times has two articles published: „What You Need to Know About Installing Plug-In Solar Panels” (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/business/energy-environment/plug-in-solar-panel-guide.html) and „Plug-In Solar Panels Are Starting to Sprout in U.S. Backyards” (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/business/energy-environment/plug-in-balcony-solar.html).
Some of the way they talk about pluginsolar is a little bit misleading: „buyers can now pick them up at IKEA in that country”. The Ikea website in Germany sells them through their Svea Solar online Store and Brand (https://shop.sveasolar.de/ikea?page=2). But I haven’t seen the products actually in the local Freiburg IKEA Store, it may be other cities have them. The products are from Ecoflow. I suspect they try to use to generate interest in their other renewables offerings, like Wallboxes, roof top solar and heat pumps but the pluginsolar systems seem to be sold only online and then sent out to by a truckage company, DHL or UPS don’t transport solar panels, as the exceed size and space limits here.
But you can pick them up at the usual hardware stores like OBI, toom and Bauhaus and even at grocery chains like LIDL. Especially the Brits seem to be obsessed with buying pluginsolar at LIDL. We usually advise consumer to check before they buy at LILD (their store brand Parkside had some quality issues with inverters) and hardware stores as they were expensive compared to more specialised online stores.
