In short: no.Your kit produces electricity depending on the intensity of sunshine your solar panels are exposed to. This is not at the same level all day long. Starting from zero at night, during the morning solar production increases and peaks around noon, only to slowly decrease again until the sun goes down.

Your kit’s energy production curve follows the same pattern, and usually resembles a bell curve, with a peak at noon.Also, keep in mind that any solar panel’s power output is measured in Wp (Watt peak), a theoretical measurement unit that indicates the maximum (peak) output of a panel under perfect testing conditions. In real life these conditions are seldom met, so even at noon your panels will only get close to but not reach their indicated Wp levels.

We have recently launched a new generation of plug & play solar kits, that uses bifacial solar panels. These can generate power from both sides of the panel, capturing sunshine that hits the back of the panel as well as overall reflection of sunshine. This can increase a panel’s production of up to 30% in theory, in practice this is rather in the 15% range. These panels can get very close to their declared Wp output for
longer periods during the day, depending on their installation location, angle and orientation.

In short: a Performance kit in Europe produces up to 1.500 kWh/year, while a Light kit can reach 1.100 kWh/year.But it depends on several factors.

The exact answer is personalized, depending on the location of installation, orientation and azimuth as well as the type of kit you choose. Our Savings Calculator helps you find the exact answer for your installation.

We use the European Commission’s PV GIS database, a standard used by all major photovoltaic installers in Europe, to calculate the estimated yearly electricity production of your kit. The result is usually a conservative estimate.When considering the installation of a plug & play solar kit, look for the place in your household with the most unimpeded sunshine hours.

This can be your terrace or balcony, or a pergola, or a wall. Maybe you have a flat roof nearby that you can use. At Robinsun we offer kits for a wide range of installation locations, to help you install your kit where it produces most for you.

In short: yes.

You need a “plug” to “play”. Your kit must be connected to your household’s power network to feed its power into it. This requires a cable to connect the micro inverter to your network.

Robinsun kits come with a Schuko plug, the de facto standard in Europe. Please make sure that you use a safe outdoor plug to connect your kit.

Also we recommend connecting the kit directly, without the use of other extension cables. If you need a connection cable that is longer than 5 m, contact us for a custom made cable.Should you not have a power socket available, any electrician or handyman can install one for you easily and quickly.
