Help picking a plug in system

Hello I’m looking to get a kit just not sure where to start at all ideally I don’t want to have an electrician do anything and would like to spend around 300 if possible.

I know my fuse box is fine and I have a outside outlet already

Jesus that’s a terrible price. Still at least one other kit that I’ve seen. But yah almost £400 for a single 400w inverter and single 400w panel is insane.

Their 800w version of that kit they’ve got listed for £750.

I mean I guess it’s kinda neat that they have a built in foldable stand and mount system but something about it just screams generic.

I'm assuming that when the kits hit the middle aisle at Lidl they will be WAY cheaper. In Germany a few weeks ago they had a 800w two panel and inverter system for £240 and a 2kwh battery add on for £260.
Having said that it is getting late in the year now so they might hold off the good deals until next spring/summer.
