Bigger, Better, Brighter Solar Home Systems from Africa’s Most Trusted Home Solar Provider.

Sun King, the world’s leading solar home system company, is excited to announce the launch of HomePlus and HomePlus Pro, its third-generation solar home systems. Designed for off-grid and budget-conscious households and businesses, these systems offer multi-room lighting and phone charging. The new range delivers more power, brighter lighting, and faster phone charging than Sun King’s popular legacy models, the Home 40 Plus and Home 200X, while maintaining the same affordable price point.

With over 15 years of expertise at the forefront of the solar industry, Sun King has channelled its extensive experience into the development of the new HomePlus range. This next-generation solar home system reflects the company’s deep knowledge of designing, installing, and servicing over 24 million solar products. By combining practical insights with advanced technology, the HomePlus range sets new benchmarks for quality, reliability, and value for money.

“With HomePlus and HomePlus Pro, we’re delivering all the ‘pluses’ our customers deserve — more power, brighter lighting, and faster phone charging — all at the same great price. It’s everything our customers loved about our previous systems, with improved quality, reliability, and value for money.” said T. Patrick Walsh, Co-Founder and CEO, Sun King.

The HomePlus and HomePlus Range

Both products offer reliable lighting and phone charging solutions for off-grid, budget-conscious customers. The HomePlus, replacing the legacy Sun King Home 40 Plus, targets entry-level users charging basic or “feature” phones.  The HomePlus Pro is designed for smartphone charging and powers brighter lights, replacing the Sun King Home 200X. 

Both systems feature:

  • Larger solar panels.
  • Brighter lights.
  • Larger, longer-lasting LFP batteries.
  • Improved control electronics, including Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) charge controllers for optimal solar efficiency.

As with all Sun King solar home systems, the HomePlus and HomePlus Pro include:

  • Plug-and-play equipment for easy installation, including overhead lamps and a roof-mountable solar panel.
  • Bright, individually dimmable lights that can be linked in series to illuminate multiple rooms throughout a home.
  • An intelligent battery management system that automatically dims the lights and pauses phone charging when the battery is low, extending lighting until sunrise.
  • A USB-A port for phone charging and a convenient phone dock.
  • Sun King’s EasyBuy “Pay-As-You-Go” technology, allowing customers to pay in small instalments.

The Differences Between the Two Systems

HomePlus is an ultra-affordable solar home system designed for off-grid households and businesses on tight budgets, providing light and power for charging basic or “feature” phones. It includes a 240-lumen tube light and two 120-lumen hanging lamps. While the HomePlus is designed to charge basic phones and feature phones, it is not designed to charge smartphones. For smartphone users, Sun King recommends choosing the more powerful HomePlus Pro.

With a larger battery and more powerful solar panel, the HomePlus Pro provides a comprehensive lighting and smartphone phone charging solution.  It includes four 240-lumen tube lights, offering more, brighter lights than the legacy Home 200X.

How can I Purchase a HomePlus or HomePlus Pro?

HomePlus is available online, through our network of agents, and at Sun King shops. Both systems are available via one-off purchase or through Sun King’s pay-as-you-go EasyBuy financing, enabling customers to pay in small instalments. Visit our HomePlus and HomePlus Pro product pages to learn more.
