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.
Full Octopus Plug-in Solar Bundle reviewThunder Bolt 920W
The sensible middle of the register-listed range: enough panel capacity to make real use of the 800W cap, and two independent MPPTs so one shaded panel doesn't drag the other down. Bracket sets included for a garden or flat roof, shed, outbuilding or rear extension roof.
