I'm a little wary of plug-in solar in the US. Some of the bills propose allowing 1200 watt panels which can overload wiring depending on what else is on the circuit and how in the wall wiring is run. Limiting plug-in panel wattage to, say, 400 watts might be necessary

See my other comment in reply to OP as to why this might be a bad idea.

That's a lot of down votes for someone who is right.
