Solar Panel Installation Service in Ringwood, Hampshire

Living in Ringwood, we know most homes sit fairly exposed to the weather, especially those out towards Poulner and Crow, so we always start with a careful roof survey rather than jumping straight to a design. We visit in person, look at your roof covering – whether that is older clay tiles near the town centre, slate on Victorian terraces, or concrete tiles on 1970s estates – and check the structure from inside the loft. We assess shade from nearby trees and chimneys, and note any local quirks such as hipped roofs or dormers that affect panel layout.

We then put together a system design that suits how you actually use electricity. We look at your recent bills, discuss when you are usually at home, and consider whether a battery, EV charger or immersion controller would be useful. For homes near the Avon or around Hightown with higher wind exposure, we adjust the mounting specification and fixings to comply with current wind loading standards, so the array stays secure in strong south‑westerlies.

Planning is usually straightforward in Ringwood, as most standard roof‑mounted systems fall under permitted development. If you are in or near the conservation area around the town centre or have a listed building, we talk through New Forest District Council’s planning guidance and, where needed, produce layout drawings and photographs to support an application. We keep this process simple and keep you updated so there are no surprises.

Once the design is agreed, we handle the DNO paperwork with Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, including G98 or G99 notification or approval. Installation itself usually takes one to two days. We fit the roof mounting system, install the panels, then complete the wiring, inverter and any battery. Finally, we commission the system, test everything, show you how to use the monitoring app, and leave you with clear documentation. If you are in the BH24 area or nearby villages, we remain your point of contact for any follow‑up questions or adjustments.
