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.
  • Bifacial panels: The supplied panels can generate electricity from light reaching both their front and rear surfaces, which may provide additional generation where reflected light reaches the back of the panels.

Cons

  • High price based on current market: At £951.60, this is one of the more expensive two-panel kits currently available.
  • Long payback period: At its current price, the kit will likely take 6 years or more to pay for itself for most households, even with a well-positioned installation.
  • Hybrid version offers better value: If you’re set on a UKSOL kit, the Pro Duo 890W hybrid-mount version offers the same panel capacity and microinverter performance, but with a more flexible mounting system, and is currently around £100 cheaper.

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.
