Pros & cons

Pros

  • High-efficiency bifacial panel: The supplied UKSOL bifacial panel can generate from light reaching both its front and rear surfaces and delivers 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

  • Very high price for a single-panel kit: At £670.80, this is the most expensive single-panel kit currently on the market.
  • Long payback period: Its high purchase price and relatively modest 460W panel capacity mean it is likely to take significantly longer to pay for itself than many larger or cheaper kits.
  • 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.

Other items you may need

This plug-in solar kit includes all of the main equipment needed to get set up, but depending on where and how you install it, there may be a couple of additional items worth considering.

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.
