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. ## Other services in Ferndown - [Electrician in Ferndown](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/electrician-ferndown): Domestic, commercial and selected industrial electrical repairs, testing and installation work across Ferndown, West Parley and BH22. - [Solar panel installation (all areas)](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/solar-panel-installation): Solar panel installation in Poole and Dorset by MX2 Electrical.
