PatioSun Max+
PatioSun's flagship: the same dual-MPPT HiFlow PRO microinverter as the Max, but with larger 465W panels for 930W of capacity, the most panel capacity in the range. Whether the roughly £30 premium over the Max is worth it comes down to those extra 40W of panels.
Full PatioSun Max+ reviewThunder Bolt 460W
The smaller of the two Thunder Bolt kits: one rigid panel on a bracket set for a garden or flat roof, shed, outbuilding or rear extension roof, run by the same Hoymiles HMS-800-2WB microinverter as the 920W kit. Its second MPPT input sits unused here. Its panel capacity is well under the 800W output cap.
