A solar installation has a direct-current (DC) side from the panels and an alternating-current (AC) side that connects to your building. The electrical work around it is what keeps it safe: correctly sized cables, protection on both the DC and AC sides, earthing of the panel frames and the inverter, and a clean connection to your distribution board.
We handle the electrical side of solar systems: planning the cable runs, fitting protection devices and isolators, earthing, and connecting the inverter output to the building’s wiring. Before a system goes in, we also check that your existing wiring, board and earthing are in good enough condition to take it.
The connections are tested, and we explain how to switch the system off safely.
Problems we solve
- Existing wiring or board that is not ready for solar
- No earthing for panel frames or the inverter
- DC cables that are undersized or not protected
- An inverter connected without suitable protection
- No clear way to isolate the system
- Not knowing how the solar side ties into the house wiring
Our process
- 1
Check the building
We inspect the board, wiring and earthing before solar is connected.
- 2
Plan the electrical side
Cable routes, protection and isolation points are planned.
- 3
Install and connect
DC and AC cabling, earthing and protection are fitted, and the inverter output connected.
- 4
Test and explain
Connections are tested, and we show you how to isolate the system.
Benefits
- Protection on both the DC and AC sides
- Panel frames and inverter earthed
- A clean, labelled connection to your board
- A clear way to switch the system off
