from ~£129

The most affordable way into the EcoFlow STREAM ecosystem. The standalone microinverter starts from around £129 on Amazon UK and is compatible with most third-party solar panels. You buy the panels separately — budget around £50–£100 per 400W panel. Good option if you already have panels or want to choose your own.
