Solar PV installation support
Solar Installation in London, Kent & the South East
Chitty Brothers provides safe, compliant electrical installation support for solar PV and battery systems—survey, connection, testing and certification as required.
Service overview
A solar installation that is designed properly—and signed off correctly
We focus on the electrical side of solar PV: safe design input, compliant connection, tidy installation, and clear handover. Suitable for homeowners, landlords, and commercial property managers across London, Kent and the South East.
Suitability survey
We assess your property, existing electrical system, and expected usage to confirm what is practical and compliant. We will advise on roof orientation/shading considerations and where equipment can be installed safely.
System options
Choose from solar-only PV, PV with battery storage, or PV with battery and export-ready monitoring. We help you select inverter and protection options that match your usage and future plans (such as EV charging).
Installation process
From isolations and consumer unit considerations through to inverter/battery wiring, protection devices, and commissioning, we work methodically and keep disruption low. Testing and documentation are provided at completion.
Maintenance & aftercare
We provide guidance on monitoring, safe shutdown procedures, and what to check if performance drops. If you need inspection, fault-finding, or upgrades later, we can support ongoing maintenance.
Solar installation FAQs
Common questions about solar PV, battery storage, and electrical compliance.
Do I need a survey before installing solar panels?
Yes. A survey confirms your roof suitability, expected generation, and the condition/capacity of your existing electrical installation so the system can be connected safely and compliantly.
Can I add a battery later?
Often, yes. We can advise on an inverter and protection setup that keeps battery expansion straightforward, subject to equipment compatibility and your installation’s capacity.
Will solar work during a power cut?
Standard grid-tied systems shut down during an outage for safety. Some systems can be configured with backup capability, subject to equipment choice and site design.
Do you provide certification?
Where required, we provide electrical testing and certification for the work completed, aligned with Part P and relevant Building Regulations requirements.
How long does installation take?
Timescales vary by system size and site complexity. After the survey, we provide a clear plan and schedule so you know what to expect.
What maintenance is required?
Solar PV is generally low maintenance. We recommend monitoring performance, keeping access areas clear, and arranging inspection if you notice faults, alerts, or reduced output.
