Why a flat roof, terrace or garden kit?
On a flat surface, panels lying flat lose a lot of production. These kits use an angled mount that tilts the panels towards the sun, and the mount stands on the surface, so in most cases you don't need to drill into a roof, wall or railing.
Choosing the spot
Face the panels south if you can, or east and west to spread production over the day. Keep them clear of shade from walls, trees and railings: even partial shade cuts output. Secure the mount against wind as the instructions describe.
Which kit?
800 W kits with two panels fit most terraces and small flat roofs, and most countries allow you to install them yourself. 2000 W kits with four panels suit larger roofs and gardens, but above 800 W most countries treat the system as a regular solar installation. Check the rules for your country.
Add a battery
A battery stores the midday surplus for the evening. See our kits with battery.
