Overview

Power that grows with you.

Formerly MIK-PLUS, the newly branded VECTOR PLUS is designed for homeowners whose primary goal is energy offset. The VECTOR line includes micro-inverters which optimize the performance of individual panels which helps with complex rooflines or potential shading issues. While the VECTOR line is primarily designed to interconnect and start lowering your electric bill immediately, it remains a flexible foundation that allows you to add battery storage in the future should your energy needs evolve.

VECTOR Power Kits come with all the parts and pieces you need to get up and running. Engineered for a DIY-friendly experience, they are designed so that a homeowner can comfortably handle the majority of the installation, while remaining simple enough for a local professional to step in and finalize the connection quickly.

Typical Uses: What Can It Run?

  • Energy Offset: Engineered to "spin the meter backward" and drastically reduce or eliminate your monthly utility costs through net metering.

  • Complex Roof Performance: Ideal for homes with multiple gables or partial shading; because each panel has its own inverter, if one is blocked, the rest of the array keeps producing at 100%.

  • Daily Household Loads: Offset the cost of running high-use items like electric water heaters, dishwashers, and laundry machines during daylight hours.

  • Home Climate Control: Significantly lower the expense of running central air conditioning and heating systems during peak sunlight hours.

  • EV Charging: Generate your own "fuel" and lower the cost of charging your electric vehicle directly from your roof.

What’s Included in Your Kit:

  • 7,920W Solar Array: 18 x Phono Draco 440W N-type TOPCon Tier-1 Mono Bifacial Solar Panels featuring a 30-year performance warranty.

Installation Overview

The majority of ShopSolar customers install the bulk of this system themselves using our provided diagrams and support resources. Because this system interacts directly with the grid, final electrical connections and utility commissioning should be completed by a local licensed electrician. Our technical support team is available throughout the entire process to help ensure a smooth installation.
