Pros & cons

Pros

  • Panels can work independently: Two independent MPPTs allow the microinverter to manage each panel separately, so shading or a different orientation on one panel does not affect the performance of the other.
  • High-efficiency bifacial panels: The supplied UKSOL bifacial panels can generate from light reaching both their front and rear surfaces and deliver an excellent 23% module efficiency.

Cons

  • Cheaper alternatives are available: Similar-capacity two-panel kits with comparable specifications are available for less, including the 920W kits from Octopus Energy and PowerXpress.
  • Limited mounting flexibility: The supplied mounting system is for ground installation only and uses a fixed panel angle, giving you less flexibility than kits with adjustable or multi-location mounting options.
