Pros & cons

Pros

  • Good value based on current market: At £468 for a powerful 1030W system, this kit offers exceptionally good value. Its high generation potential should also help deliver a relatively fast payback period for many households.
  • High-efficiency panels: The supplied DMEGC panels deliver an excellent 23% module efficiency.
  • Flexible mounting options: The supplied mount suits ground, wall, balcony or flat roof installation and adjusts from 15° to 45°, helping you optimise the panel angle to capture more sunlight and improve generation.

Cons

  • Panels are not independently managed: With a single MPPT, the microinverter has to manage both panels together, so one panel receiving less sunlight can hold back the performance of the pair. This makes the kit better suited to setups where both panels can face the same direction.
  • Large and heavy panels: Each panel measures 1.97m × 1.13m and weighs 27.1kg, so check you have enough space and a practical installation plan, particularly for wall-mounted installations.
  • Often out of stock: Their strong pricing means City Plumbing kits can sell out quickly, so availability is often inconsistent.
