The Worldwide Solar 1220W Plug & Play Solar Kit (no mount included) was approved for plug-in solar use in Great Britain on and is listed as compliant in the Plug-in Solar category of the ENA Type Test Register under reference number WORLD/21661/V1/A1.
If you buy this kit you must notify your Distribution Network Operator (DNO) by registering it at myplugin.solar within 28 days of installation. Use ENA reference number WORLD/21661/V1/A1 when registering to find and select the correct approved kit.
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 panel capacity: At 1220W, this is one of the highest-capacity plug-in solar configurations currently on the market. In good sunlight, its high-efficiency bifacial panels should be capable of reaching the 800W output limit comfortably, while the extra panel capacity should also help it maintain stronger output in cloudy conditions and through the winter.

Cons
Large and heavy panels: Each panel measures 233cm × 113cm and weighs 32.5kg, 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.

Other items you may need
Depending on where and how you install this kit, there may be additional items worth considering.
Mounting equipment
This kit does not include mounting equipment, so you’ll need to source a suitable mounting system separately. Make sure your chosen mounting option can safely support panels weighing 32.5kg each and measuring 233cm × 113cm.
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.
Estimated solar generation, annual savings and payback period for the Worldwide Solar 1220W Plug & Play Solar Kit (no mount included) depend on where you live, how the kit is positioned, and crucially, how much of the solar electricity your household uses.
