We verify that the board can accept generation feeds and determine the exact mounting position for your inverter, generation meter, and isolating switches. ### Cabling and equipment mounting We securely fix the solar inverter and isolators, then run direct current cables from the roof array and alternating current cabling to your distribution board using neat conduit or existing floor voids to maintain a tidy finish. ### Commissioning and output verification Once connections are secured, we conduct continuity and insulation resistance tests, energise the circuit, and run system diagnostics to confirm that generated solar power feeds correctly into your property. ## Frequently asked questions about solar panel installation ### Do solar panels generate power on overcast days in Westbourne? Solar photovoltaic panels operate using daylight rather than direct heat, meaning they produce electricity throughout cloudy and overcast weather in Westbourne. Output levels rise and fall with daylight intensity, yet the system continues to supply power to household circuits during daytime hours. ### Does my consumer unit need replacing to connect solar panels? Your consumer unit must have a spare way and be capable of accommodating bidirectional electrical currents. We inspect the board during our initial testing. If additional protective devices or an upgraded board are required, we explain what is necessary before any work begins. ### How is the local electricity network notified about the system? Standard residential installations up to 3.68kW per phase connect under Engineering Recommendation G98. After testing and commissioning the circuit, we complete the formal paperwork and submit the notification directly to the distribution network operator. ### Can I add battery storage to my solar setup in the future? Yes. You can install an inverter that supports battery connections from the start, or add an AC-coupled battery system alongside your existing solar equipment as an independent addition whenever you choose. ### What certification will I receive after the installation? You receive an Electrical Installation Certificate recording all test readings and circuit details. The installation is also registered through our NAPIT registration to confirm compliance with national building and electrical standards. ## Other services in Westbourne - [Electrician in Westbourne](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/electrician-westbourne): Domestic and suitable commercial electrical repairs, testing and planned work across Westbourne, Alum Chine, West Cliff and BH4. - [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.
