Perlight PowerPlug MAX 1000
The top of the PowerPlug MAX range: two bifacial 500W panels for a full 1000W of capacity, at roughly £12 more than the non-bifacial 930W kit alongside it. The most panel capacity and the only bifacial two-panel kit in the Perlight range.

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.
