Pros & cons

Pros

  • Choose your own mounting system: Because this kit is ENA compliant without mounting equipment included, you can select a suitable mount for your installation rather than being tied to one supplied with the kit.
  • 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 JA Solar panels deliver 23.1% module efficiency and can generate from light reaching both their front and rear surfaces.

Cons

  • Large and heavy panels: Each panel measures ~2.1m × 1.1m and weighs 29kg, so check you have enough space and a practical installation plan. Their size and weight are particularly worth considering for roof or wall-mounted installations, where handling and positioning them will be more difficult.
  • Delivered in two separate shipments: Worldwide Solar state that the panels and microinverter are delivered separately, so you may need to be available for more than one delivery.
  • Mounting adds to the cost: The purchase price is relatively high given that mounting equipment is not included, and other two-panel kits are available for a similar price with a mount supplied.

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.
