Pros & cons

Pros

  • Independent panel control: Two independent MPPTs allow the microinverter to manage each panel separately, helping when the panels receive different amounts of sunlight.
  • High-efficiency panels: The supplied DMEGC panels offer 23.8% module efficiency.
  • Flexible mounting options: The supplied mount supports ground, wall, balcony and flat-roof installations, with an adjustable angle of 15° to 45°.

Cons

  • A simpler kit may offer better value: If both panels face the same direction in an unshaded location, the dual-MPPT inverter may offer limited extra benefit. The single-MPPT 950W kit costs £24 less.
  • Stock availability and lead times: City Plumbing's competitive pricing means kits can sell out quickly, while pre-orders can involve lengthy waits for delivery.

Cable protection

If the AC cable runs through an exposed area, split conduit can provide additional protection. Because the plugs and connectors are moulded onto the cable, split conduit can be fitted around it without needing to remove them.
