PatioSun Lite
The cheapest kit in our catalogue, and it still ships with a bifacial panel and a pre-installed steel ground mount rather than flat-pack brackets. One panel's capacity is well under the 800W output cap, but for the price it's a low-cost legal way onto a patio or garden.

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.
