Pros & cons

Pros

  • High-efficiency bifacial panel: The supplied UKSOL bifacial panel can generate from light reaching both its front and rear surfaces, helping it achieve an excellent 23% module efficiency.
  • Simple single-panel setup: One panel needs less installation space, has lower visual impact and is simpler to position than a two-panel kit.

Cons

  • Limited mounting options: The supplied mounting system is designed for ground installation only, giving you less flexibility if you need to move or reposition the kit later.
  • Fixed panel angle: The supplied mount does not allow tilt adjustment, giving you less flexibility to optimise the panel angle.

Before you buy

A few practical things to check before choosing where and how to install this kit.

Electrical safety

Before using this kit, check that the circuit supplying your socket has suitable RCD protection. Electrical Safety First recommends at least Type A bidirectional protection and advises upgrading Type AC protection before use

Read our safety guidance

Installation & planning

The panel measures 176 × 113 cm and weighs 25.5 kg. The supplied AC cable is 5 m long. Check that your chosen location can support the panels, allows a suitable cable route and meets any applicable planning restrictions.

Read our planning guide

Ballast

If you’re installing the kit freestanding, you’ll need ballast to weigh down the mounting frame and help prevent movement or uplift. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the required ballast weight and positioning.

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.
