Notes from our research: ENA register (CITYP/21389) lists '1x DME-515W' (a kit code), so the module model is not confirmed. The listing gives 1762x1134x600 mm, which conflicts with the 1030W kit (3954 mm for two panels, i.e. 1977 mm each) and with City Plumbing's standalone DMEGC 515W panel DM515G12RT-G54HBB (1977 mm); the listing length is probably copied from the 465W kit. City Plumbing's tech sheet is a generic HiFlow manual that says the Flex-S3 AC lead is 'Plug and Play-CEE7/7' (Schuko) while the listing says the kit fits a UK 3-pin socket; plug type taken from the listing. Listings name 'Fastensol' mounting while the attached tech sheet describes a 'Plug in Solar Mounting Kit 2.0' with hooks, expansion bolts and wire safety ropes (12-year bracket warranty); tilt is adjustable but no range is given. 'Years Guaranteed: 10' on the listing does not say what it covers (recorded as kitYears). The HF-800-WB has one MPPT with one input, so two-panel kits are wired in series (tech sheet says 'Connect two PV modules in series'). maxInputWPerChannel left null: Hoymiles only gives 'commonly used module power 320 to 520+ W'.
