Perlight PowerPlug MAX 465

The entry point into Plug In Solar's Perlight PowerPlug MAX range: one 465W panel on a mount rated for wall, floor or balcony fixing. Not bifacial, unlike the 500W and 1000W PowerPlug MAX kits alongside it. With a single panel, its capacity is well under the 800W output cap.

Thunder 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.
