00 / Why Archai
Supported in the UK
We exist to make every UK solar panel safer, smarter and fully productive — with real engineering and real UK support behind every install.

Why we're here

UK roofs are rarely simple. Shade, mixed pitches and complex layouts cost generation, and high DC voltage on the roof is a real risk. Installers want panel-level control and visibility without changing the inverters they trust — and they want someone in the UK to pick up the phone.

What we do about it

Archai pairs panel-level optimisers, a wired data gateway and the SolarSync platform into one system. It's certified with the UK's leading inverter brands, and sold and supported by our team here in the UK.

03 / What makes us different

Six reasons installers choose Archai.

Built for UK roofs

Chimneys, dormers, split pitches and shade. Panel-level MPPT keeps every module working at its own best.

02

Keep your inverter

Certified with Solis and Fox ESS — the UK's leading inverter brands. No need to switch kit to add optimisation.

03

Wired, not wireless

PLC sends data down the DC cable. No router placement, no Wi-Fi dropouts, fewer callbacks.

04

Safety at every panel

Rapid shutdown takes each optimiser to a 1 V safe output. Genuine Stäubli MC4 removes cross-mating risk.
