What happens on the day
Visits are planned systematically to carry out the required electrical work safely, with minimal disruption to the existing power supply inside your property.
- System checks and power isolationWe inspect the existing distribution board, verify main earthing and bonding connections, and safely isolate circuits before starting work on the electrical supply.
- Mounting equipment and running cablesWe secure the solar inverter, alternating current isolators, direct current isolators and generation meters, routing cables tidily using conduit or existing building pathways.
- Board integration and testingWe wire the dedicated solar circuit into the consumer unit with appropriate protection devices, carrying out full continuity, insulation resistance and polarity tests.
- Energisation and commissioningOnce testing proves the circuit is safe, we power the system, verify generation through the inverter, and ensure isolation switches operate correctly.

WhatsAppDo solar panels generate power on cloudy days in Ferndown?
Solar photovoltaic panels operate using daylight rather than direct heat or intense sunlight alone. Output is higher in clear weather, but systems continue producing electricity on overcast days to help power your property.
Does my consumer unit need replacing to connect solar panels?
The existing consumer unit must have a spare way and suitable protective devices to accept bidirectional generation. We inspect your board before installation and explain whether spare ways exist or if an upgrade or secondary unit is required.
Can battery storage be added to the system later?
Yes. If a compatible hybrid inverter is installed during the initial work, batteries can be connected at a future stage. Alternatively, an alternating current coupled battery system can be added independently later.
Who notifies the electricity network about the installation?
Standard domestic installations generating up to 3.68kW per phase operate under Engineering Recommendation G98. We handle the paperwork and submit the notification directly to the distribution network operator on your behalf.
Will solar electrical work interrupt power to the rest of the house?
The main electrical supply requires temporary isolation while we integrate the new generation circuit into the consumer unit. We plan this in advance so you know when power will be off and restore it as soon as connection testing is complete.
