Fuse Energy unveils UK's first plug-in solar and battery combo

Fuse Energy has announced Jules, a UK-first plug-in solar kit that pairs up to four 500W panels with a 2.5kWh battery and an app that decides when to store or use power. It will cost £577 and save around £180 a year, but deliveries are expected only after plug-in batteries are legalised, likely in 2027.

• Jules supports up to four 500W panels plugged into a standard socket plus a 2.5kWh battery
• Priced at £577 with around £180 in annual savings, paying back in just over three years
• Deliveries expected after plug-in battery legislation passes, likely in 2027
• Rooftop solar for comparison costs £7,000–8,000 before scaffolding and installation
