What happens on the day
Our visit focuses on safely integrating generation equipment, carrying out careful electrical wiring, and leaving your property tidy.
- Arrival and cable routing discussionWe arrive on schedule, examine the consumer unit, and review the planned route for the cables between the roof entry point, inverter, and electrical board. We protect your floor surfaces before getting tools out.
- Mounting equipment and safe isolationWe isolate electrical circuits safely while wiring into the main board. Inverters, rotary isolators, and generation meters are mounted securely to solid walls or purpose-built mounting boards with tidy conduit runs.
- System testing and live energisationBefore switching the generation equipment on, we run dead and live electrical tests to confirm insulation resistance, polarity, and earth loop values. We then energise the inverter and verify generation into the consumer unit.

WhatsAppDo solar panels generate power on overcast days?
Photovoltaic panels generate electricity from daylight rather than hot sunlight alone. Even on cloudy days in Dorset, the panels continue to generate electricity, although peak generation occurs when daylight intensity is strongest.
Will my consumer unit need changing to connect solar panels?
Your consumer unit requires an open spare way and protective devices suitable for bidirectional generation. During our initial visit, we inspect the board. If new components or a consumer unit upgrade are required, we explain this clearly before proceeding.
Who notifies the electricity network operator about the solar array?
Standard domestic installations up to 3.68kW per phase operate under Engineering Recommendation G98. MX2 Electrical completes the testing and files the formal connection documentation directly with the distribution network operator on your behalf.
Can battery storage be added to the solar installation later?
Yes. You can install an AC-coupled battery system at any time in the future, or we can install a hybrid inverter during the initial solar installation that is already prepared to accept direct battery connections whenever you decide to expand.
Do solar installations require planning permission?
Most residential solar panel installations are classed as permitted development, provided the panels do not sit excessively high above the roof surface. However, properties in conservation areas or listed buildings may face local council restrictions that must be checked beforehand.
