We run heavy-duty cabling back to your consumer unit, fitting dedicated protective devices and a rotary isolator switch. ### Commissioning and safety testing Mains power is briefly turned off while we terminate the connections at the distribution board. We test earth loop impedance, verify device operation, and power up the system to configure settings. ### System walkthrough and handover We walk you through system operation, explain isolation points, demonstrate monitoring features, clear away all packaging and prepare the compliance certificates. ## Frequently asked questions about battery storage ### Can I install battery storage without solar panels? Yes. Standalone battery storage systems can be charged directly from the grid overnight using cheaper off peak electricity tariffs. The stored power is then used during peak daytime hours to run domestic appliances, reducing your overall energy costs. ### Where can a battery storage system be located? Batteries and inverters are typically positioned in an attached garage, a ground floor utility room or a loft space, provided structural support and ventilation are suitable. Weatherproof units can also be mounted to an external brick wall. ### How long does a typical installation take? A domestic battery storage installation usually takes between one and two days, depending on cable runs and the position of your consumer unit. The main electrical supply is switched off only for a brief period during final board terminations. ### Do you handle distribution network operator permissions? Yes. Systems operating up to 3.68kW per phase fall under G98 rules, meaning we notify Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks within 28 days of commissioning. For larger systems requiring advance G99 approval, we submit the technical applications on your behalf. ### Will my battery system provide backup power during a power cut? Standard grid-tied battery systems shut down during a power cut to prevent electrical backfeed into the network. If backup power is required, an emergency power supply circuit and automatic islanding switchgear must be specifically designed into the installation. ## Other services in Wimborne Minster - [Electrician in Wimborne Minster](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/electrician-wimborne-minster): Electrical testing, fault finding, repairs and planned installation work across Wimborne Minster, Leigh Road, Allenview and BH21. - [Battery storage installation (all areas)](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/battery-storage-installation): Home and commercial battery storage installation in Poole, Bournemouth and Dorset by MX2 Electrical.
