EV SolutionsOur Verwood Installation Process
We believe in transparency. Here is exactly how we transform your home into a power station, from your first enquiry in Verwood to the final handover.
1. Remote Survey & Desktop Design
We don't start with a hard sell. Using advanced satellite software, we analyze your roof in Verwood remotely. We calculate the pitch, orientation, and shading from nearby trees (common in Three Legged Cross) to design a system that maximizes output.
2. Detailed Technical Survey
Once you're happy with the estimate, our lead electrician visits your property. We check your consumer unit, cable routes, and roof structure. Since many Verwood homes have unique truss structures, this step ensures we bring the right mounting gear on day one.
3. The Installation Day
Our team arrives in Starks Solar vans. We erect scaffolding (if required) and begin the install. Most residential installs in Verwood are completed within 1-2 days. We treat your home with respect, cleaning up all debris.
4. MCS Commissioning & DNO
Safety is paramount. We test every circuit and commission the Inverter and Battery. We also handle all the paperwork with the DNO (Distribution Network Operator) to ensure your system is legally registered on the National Grid.
5. Handover & Monitoring
We set up the app on your phone so you can see exactly how much energy you are generating and storing. We walk you through the system, explaining how to use "Force Charge" modes to buy cheap overnight electricity.
- DNO Application Submitted
- MCS Certificate Issued
- Bird Protection Installed

Battery Storage Installation in Verwood
Why is battery storage essential in Verwood? Solar panels are only half the solution. Most homes in Verwood are empty during the day when solar generation is highest, and busy in the evening when the sun has set.
Without a battery, you send your free green energy back to the grid for pennies, then buy it back at full price in the evening.
We install the latest Sigenergy 5-in-1 systems and AI-driven storage solutions. These smart batteries allow you to:
- Store Solar: Use your day-time sun to power your evening TV and cooking.
- Beat the Grid: Charge from the grid at cheap overnight rates (e.g., 7p/kWh with Octopus Intelligent) and discharge when rates are high.
- Energy Security: Verwood and rural Dorset can be prone to power cuts during storms. Our systems can provide Emergency Power Supply (EPS) to keep your lights and WiFi on.
Common Questions in Verwood
Do I need planning permission in Verwood?
In 95% of cases in Verwood and Three Legged Cross, no. Solar panels are "Permitted Development." However, if your property is Listed or in a Conservation Area, we will help you check with Dorset Council.
Is my roof suitable?
Verwood has a mix of roof types. South-facing is best, but East/West splits work brilliantly with modern panels. We can even install on flat roofs or ground mounts in larger gardens near Edmondsham.
How much can I save?
With a Solar + Battery system, our Verwood customers typically see a reduction in electricity bills of 70-90%. Some even earn money by exporting excess energy.
What about the pigeons?
Bird nesting is a common issue in Dorset. Unlike other installers who charge extra, Starks Solar includes premium mesh bird-proofing with every residential install as standard.
