What happens on the day
We arrive at your Wareham address at the arranged time, review the installation plan with you, and prepare the work area before starting any electrical tasks.
- Initial check and electrical isolationWe inspect the main intake, verify earthing connections and review the proposed cable paths. We then isolate the relevant electrical circuits safely to allow new wiring and switchgear to be integrated without hazard.
- Mounting inverters and protective gearWe fix the inverter, generation meter and dual isolators securely to the designated wall space. All containment, conduits and trunking are installed level and secured before cables are drawn into place.
- Consumer unit terminationCables are terminated into dedicated protective breakers within your distribution board. Where spare ways are unavailable, we fit a dedicated enclosure alongside the main consumer unit to house the generation controls.
- Testing and customer walk throughAfter completing the circuit tests, we energise the installation and monitor live generation. We explain how the isolator switches work, show you the inverter display readings and leave the work area tidy.

WhatsAppDo solar panels generate electricity on overcast days in Dorset?
Yes. Solar photovoltaic panels react to daylight rather than direct heat or unbroken sunshine. Output will naturally be higher during bright sunny spells, but your array will still produce usable electricity on cloudy or overcast days across Wareham.
Does my consumer unit need an upgrade before fitting solar?
Your consumer unit must have a spare way and be capable of handling bidirectional power from the inverter. If your board is full, outdated or lacks suitable protective devices, we can either install an upgraded metal consumer unit or mount a separate generation enclosure alongside.
How does the electricity network find out about the installation?
For standard domestic arrays producing up to 3.68kW per phase, the system connects under Engineering Recommendation G98. Once our testing and commissioning is complete, we notify the distribution network operator directly with the technical figures and commissioning forms.
Can I add battery storage to my solar setup later?
Yes. You can install an AC coupled battery system at any point in the future without disturbing the main solar array. Alternatively, if you fit a hybrid inverter initially, compatible battery units can be connected directly when you are ready to expand your system.
Do rooftop solar panels need planning permission in Wareham?
Most residential solar installations fall within permitted development regulations, provided panels stay within specific roof profile limits. If your property is listed or situated within a designated conservation area, you may need to confirm rules with the local planning authority.
