Solar Panel Installation in Poole
A solar PV system is only as good as the roof it sits on. Ikonic Solar designs and installs complete solar panel systems across Poole — surveyed by roofers, wired by MCS-accredited electricians, and finished so the roof stays watertight for the life of the panels.
What a Poole solar installation involves
Every install starts with a survey. We check roof pitch, orientation, tile or slate condition, rafter spacing and any shading from chimneys, trees or neighbouring properties. Coastal roofs around Sandbanks, Canford Cliffs and Hamworthy get particular attention — salt-laden air and exposure to onshore wind change the fixings and flashing details we specify.
Panels, inverters and mounting
We specify equipment to suit the roof rather than fitting whatever is in the van. South-facing roofs usually justify a straightforward string layout; split east–west roofs and roofs with unavoidable shading normally benefit from optimisers or micro-inverters so one shaded panel does not drag down the array. Mounting rails are fixed into rafters, not battens, and every penetration is properly flashed.
Certification and paperwork
The electrical work is carried out and certified by MCS-accredited electricians, which is what your energy supplier will want to see before an export tariff can be set up. You receive your certificates, DNO notification and system documentation as part of handover.

FAQs
Solar Panel Installation — Common Questions
How long does a solar panel installation take in Poole?
Most domestic installations are completed in one to two days on site. Larger arrays, in-roof systems or installs that include battery storage can run to three days. We confirm the schedule at survey stage so you know exactly how long we will be on your roof.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Poole?
For most homes solar panels are permitted development, so no application is needed. Listed buildings and properties in conservation areas — including parts of Poole Old Town and Wimborne Minster — can be different, and we will flag it at survey if we think an application is required.
Will the installation damage my roof?
It should not. Because we come from a roofing background, mounting brackets are fixed to rafters and every penetration is flashed and sealed. If we find broken tiles or worn felt during survey, we will tell you before installation rather than covering the problem with panels.
