More than simply connecting solar panels.
A Solar PV or battery installation ultimately becomes part of your property’s electrical installation. That means the quality of the electrical work is every bit as important as the panels, inverter or battery that you choose.
Mr Solar provides professional electrical installation, inspection, testing and remedial services for homes and businesses, both as part of renewable energy projects and as standalone electrical work.
Safe. Tidy. Tested. Certified.
We believe electrical work should look professional as well as perform correctly.
Correct cable selection, protection devices, isolation, earthing, labelling, testing and documentation are all part of the installation — not optional extras.
The job is not finished just because the power switches back on.
We don’t do cheap electrics. We do quality electrical work.
There will almost always be somebody prepared to complete an electrical job for less. Our priority is providing an installation we are happy to put the Mr Solar name on.
Electrical installation, testing & certification.
From upgrading a consumer unit to inspecting an existing installation, we provide professional electrical services alongside our renewable energy work.
Electrical Installation Certificates
Electrical Installation Certificates are issued where appropriate following new electrical installations, new circuits or significant alterations. The certificate records the design, inspection and electrical test results.
Electrical Installation Condition Reports
Professional inspection and testing of an existing electrical installation to assess its condition and identify safety issues, deterioration or defects requiring attention.
Minor Electrical Works
Appropriate Minor Electrical Installation Works certification for qualifying additions and alterations to existing electrical circuits.
Consumer Unit Upgrades
Replacement and upgrading of older consumer units using modern circuit protection, including appropriate RCBO, RCD and surge protection arrangements.
New Electrical Circuits
Properly designed new circuits for solar PV, battery storage, EV chargers, outbuildings and other electrical loads.
Inspection & Testing
Electrical inspection and instrument testing to confirm continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, earthing, protective device operation and other required parameters.
Electrical Fault Finding
Systematic investigation of nuisance tripping, loss of supply, insulation faults, damaged circuits and other electrical problems.
Electrical Remedial Work
Corrective electrical work following an EICR, solar survey, fault investigation or other inspection, with appropriate retesting after completion.
Circuit Protection Upgrades
Assessment and upgrading of RCD, RCBO, MCB and surge protection arrangements where required by the design and condition of the installation.
Earthing & Bonding
Inspection and improvement of earthing and protective bonding arrangements where required for a safe electrical installation.
EV Charger Installation
Professionally installed electric vehicle charging, including assessment of existing supply capacity, circuit protection and integration with solar and battery systems where appropriate.
Solar & Battery Electrical Works
AC and DC electrical installation associated with Solar PV, hybrid inverters, battery storage, backup supplies, isolators, metering and monitoring equipment.
Rewires & Circuit Alterations
Full or partial electrical rewiring and alterations where required as part of a property upgrade or to safely accommodate additional electrical equipment.
Single & Three-Phase Systems
Electrical work associated with suitable single-phase and three-phase domestic and commercial installations, including larger Solar PV and battery projects.
Isolation & Distribution
Installation and upgrading of suitable isolators, distribution equipment and protective devices required for renewable energy and electrical installations.
EIC, EICR or Minor Works — what’s the difference?
Electrical certificates are not interchangeable. The correct document depends on whether we are installing something new, altering an existing circuit or inspecting an existing electrical installation.
Electrical Installation Certificate
Generally used for new installations, new circuits and other electrical work requiring full initial verification. It includes inspection and electrical test results.
Electrical Installation Condition Report
Used to assess an existing installation. An EICR records its condition at the time of inspection and identifies observations or defects that may require remedial work.
Minor Electrical Works Certificate
Used for qualifying additions or alterations to an existing circuit where a full Electrical Installation Certificate is not required.
Your consumer unit is the heart of the installation.
Is your existing electrical system ready for solar, batteries and EVs?
Modern homes are placing greater demands on electrical installations than ever before. Solar generation, batteries, electric vehicles, heat pumps and electric heating can significantly change the way power flows around a property.
Before installing new equipment we assess the existing electrical installation and will explain if any upgrades are genuinely required.
- Replacement consumer units
- Additional ways or dedicated distribution boards
- RCBO and RCD protection
- Surge Protection Devices
- New dedicated circuits
- Main earthing and protective bonding checks
- Testing and certification after installation
Electrical work designed around Solar PV, batteries & EV charging.
The advantage of using an electrical contractor that specialises in renewable energy is that we understand how the different parts of the property interact.
Solar generation, battery charging and discharging, EV chargers, import limits, export limits and backup supplies all place different demands on the electrical installation.
We can assess the complete system rather than looking at each piece of equipment in isolation.
Solar isn’t separate from your electrics.
The inverter, battery and EV charger ultimately connect into your electrical installation. Correct design, protection, testing and certification are essential to the performance and safety of the complete system.

Why choose a NAPIT registered electrical contractor?
NAPIT registered electrical contractors are assessed against recognised requirements for competence, processes and compliant electrical installation work.
Depending on the work being undertaken, electrical installations may require an Electrical Installation Certificate, Minor Electrical Works Certificate or Electrical Installation Condition Report.
Where electrical work is notifiable under the Building Regulations in England and Wales, eligible work can also be notified through the Competent Person Scheme and the appropriate Building Regulations Compliance Certificate provided.
Our electrical work is carried out in accordance with applicable requirements of the current edition of BS 7671 and relevant Building Regulations.
Check the NAPIT RegisterElectrical work shouldn’t involve guesswork.
Assess
We inspect the existing installation and understand what equipment or electrical work is required.
Design
We consider loading, cable sizes, protection, isolation and how the new work integrates with the property.
Install
Equipment is fitted professionally using suitable components and a tidy, maintainable installation approach.
Test & Certify
The completed work is inspected, tested, commissioned and the appropriate documentation provided.
Questions customers often ask us.
What is the difference between an EIC and an EICR?
An EIC relates to electrical installation work and records its initial verification and test results. An EICR is an inspection report assessing the condition of an existing electrical installation.
Do I need an EICR before having solar panels installed?
Not every property automatically requires a full EICR before solar is installed. However, the existing electrical installation must be suitable for the proposed work. Where its condition is uncertain or defects are identified, further inspection or an EICR may be recommended.
Do I need a new consumer unit for solar or battery storage?
Not necessarily. We assess the existing consumer unit, circuit protection, earthing and available ways before recommending an upgrade. We will not recommend replacing equipment simply because it is older if a compliant and suitable solution can be achieved.
Will I receive electrical certification?
Yes, where certification is required for the work carried out, the appropriate electrical certificate is provided. Notifiable work is also dealt with through the relevant Building Regulations process where applicable.
Can Mr Solar repair problems found on an EICR?
Yes. We can quote for appropriate remedial electrical work after inspection, rectify agreed defects and carry out the relevant testing and certification following completion.
Do you carry out electrical work without installing solar?
Yes. Although renewable energy is our specialist area, we also undertake suitable standalone electrical inspection, testing, consumer unit upgrades, fault finding, remedial work, new circuits and associated electrical installation work.
Why might Mr Solar cost more than the cheapest quotation?
Our quotations are based on completing the installation properly using suitable equipment, professional installation methods, inspection, testing and the required documentation. We would rather provide long-term value than compete to be the lowest electrical quote.
