What happens on the day
Every solar connection visit follows a clear sequence, from initial power isolation to complete system commissioning and output checks.
- Supply isolation and cable pathway reviewWe inspect the existing consumer unit or distribution board, confirm the exact positioning for the inverter and isolation switches, and safely disconnect the power before introducing new generation cabling into the property.
- Inverter mounting and circuit wiringThe inverter, generation meter, and both AC and DC isolator switches are mounted securely in position. We run dedicated cabling through conduit or sub-floor spaces, linking the array to the protective switchgear with neat terminations.
- Live testing and commissioningOnce the connections are mechanically secure, we conduct electrical safety testing on the new circuit, restore mains power, energise the solar system, and verify generation output readings directly through the inverter display.

WhatsAppDo solar panels generate power on cloudy days?
Photovoltaic panels operate on daylight rather than direct heat or intense sunlight. Even during overcast weather in Dorset, the panels generate electricity that feeds into your consumer unit, helping reduce the amount of electricity drawn from the national grid.
Will our existing consumer unit work with solar panels?
Your consumer unit needs an available spare way and protection devices that support bidirectional power flow. During our initial checks, we assess your distribution board to confirm compatibility. If new protective components or an upgraded board are required, we explain this before proceeding.
Is planning permission required for rooftop solar panels?
Most domestic solar installations are covered by permitted development rights, provided panels do not extend beyond standard limits above the roofline. Properties located in conservation areas or listed buildings within Christchurch may have local planning restrictions that require council consultation.
How is the local electricity network notified about the system?
Domestic systems up to 3.68kW per phase connect under Engineering Recommendation G98 guidelines. After testing and commissioning your installation, we complete the required documentation and submit the notification directly to the distribution network operator.
Can battery storage be integrated with the system in the future?
Yes. You can choose a hybrid inverter during the initial installation to accommodate future storage, or an AC-coupled battery system can be added as a standalone circuit beside the existing solar setup at any later point.
