The Solar Installation Process in Waterlooville
From Cowplain to Denmead, here is how we handle your project.
1. The Technical Survey
Unlike national companies that use Google Maps to quote, we visit your home in Waterlooville. We inspect your roof structure, check your fuse board (consumer unit), and assess cable runs. This ensures the price we quote is the price you pay—no hidden "unforeseen" extras on installation day.
2. Bespoke System Design
Every home in PO7 and PO8 is different. We model your roof using advanced software to calculate wind loading and generation potential. We select the right inverter (e.g., GivEnergy, Sigenergy, or SolarEdge) to match your specific energy usage patterns.
3. The Installation Day
Our team arrives early. Scaffolding is erected safely. Our MCS-certified roofers install the mounting rails and panels, ensuring the weather-tightness of your roof is never compromised. Simultaneously, our electricians install the inverter and batteries, usually in your garage, utility room, or loft.
4. Bird Proofing (Included)
Seagulls and pigeons are common in the Hampshire area. Unlike many competitors who charge £300+ for this, Starks Solar includes premium bird mesh protection for free with every residential install in Waterlooville. This stops pests nesting under your panels and damaging cables.
5. Handover & Monitoring
We don't leave until you are comfortable using the app. We will show you how to monitor your generation, set your battery to charge at cheap rates, and issue your MCS certificate and Building Control notification immediately.
Battery Storage Installation in Waterlooville
Solar panels without a battery? You might be giving energy away.
Many Waterlooville residents are out at work during the sunniest parts of the day. Without a battery, that clean energy goes back to the grid for pennies.
By installing a modern battery system, you can store that energy to boil the kettle, cook dinner, and watch TV in the evening for free.
Why Waterlooville Homes Need Batteries:
- Beat the Grid: Charge your battery overnight on cheap tariffs (e.g., Octopus Intelligent) at 7p/kWh, then use it when rates hit 24p/kWh+.
- Backup Power: We install systems that keep your lights, WiFi, and fridge running during local power cuts.
- Future Proofing: Our systems are ready for Virtual Power Plant (VPP) integration, allowing you to sell power back to the grid at a premium.
