Pros & cons

Pros

  • High capacity for a single-panel kit: At 515W, this is one of the most powerful one-panel kits for sale today, and the best-value single-panel kit in the UKSOL range.
  • High-efficiency bifacial panel: The supplied UKSOL bifacial panel can generate from light reaching both its front and rear surfaces and delivers an excellent 23.2% module efficiency.
  • Flexible mounting options: The supplied mount suits ground or solid-wall installation and adjusts from 15° to 45°, helping you optimise the panel angle to capture more sunlight and improve generation.

Cons

  • Premium price for a single-panel kit: At £599, it sits towards the expensive end of the single-panel market. The City Plumbing DMEGC 515W kit has the same panel capacity but costs £251 less.
  • Power comes with size: The 515W output comes from a large 1.96m × 1.13m panel weighing 27.5kg, so space and handling are important considerations, especially for wall-mounted installations.

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.
