Sun King, a primary off-grid solar provider, has launched its most powerful home energy system yet, the HomePlus Max. This new flagship product is designed to deliver a “grid-like” electricity experience for households. It is particularly targeting the approximately 600 million people in Africa who lack reliable access to power. The launch marks a significant milestone for the company, which has now sold over 30 million solar products worldwide.
The HomePlus Max represents the latest advancement in Sun King’s third-generation technology, succeeding the popular Home 500X model.
The system is engineered to power a suite of modern appliances and illuminate up to four rooms simultaneously. It can support high-demand devices such as smart TVs, electric fans, energy saving air conditioners, and a range of entertainment and cooling appliances. This new product sets a new benchmark for what solar home systems can achieve.

In a first for the company’s home systems, the HomePlus Max features dual-charging functionality. This hybrid design means the battery can be recharged either by the included solar panel or by plugging into a standard electrical grid. This approach is specifically intended to provide backup power and additional resilience for customers living in “weak-grid” areas plagued by frequent, intermittent power outages.
Despite its increased power, Sun King emphasises that the system remains accessible to its core market of low-income households and small businesses. This is achieved through its “pay-as-you-go” EasyBuy financing technology, which enables customers to avoid high upfront costs by paying for the equipment in small, manageable instalments.
The HomePlus Max is designed for user convenience and efficiency. It features a plug-and-play setup for immediate use and includes a motion-sensing security light. To ensure optimal battery life and performance, an intelligent battery management system is incorporated that automatically dims lights to conserve power when the battery charge is low. The product is now available through Sun King’s global network of agents, retail shops, and online platforms.
