Octopus Plug-in Solar Bundle
Octopus's own single-panel bundle: a 460W panel, a microinverter and a 5m cable with a 3-pin plug, sold with a choice of wall or ground mount depending on where it goes. Octopus's plug-in-solar pages don't state a warranty period for the bundle anywhere: the explore page, FAQ, blog post and order page all have zero mentions of one.

The two-panel PatioSun kit: 890W of bifacial panels against the same 800W microinverter and the Lite's single 445W panel. Same pre-installed steel mount and sold direct, at roughly £250 more than the single-panel Lite.
