It may seem like magic: the sun shines on solar panel roof systems and is then transformed into electricity to power the building. It is actually a fairly simple process that utilizes decades-old scientific knowledge about light and electric currents. In a few steps, sunlight is literally converted at the atomic level into an electrical current and technology does the rest.
Did you know you can get grants to help with the cost of installing Solar Panel Roof Systems?
The UK Government & Energy Suppliers provide partial or full funding for solar panel roof system installations. Until 2027 there is also no VAT on Solar Panels installation costs. Check out the funding options.
AKT Roofing Ltd provide a quick and efficient response from your first enquiry to a site visit. We will visit at a time convenient to you and offer a free, detailed quote via email or post. Our friendly staff are highly qualified and trained to complete any task to the highest standards.
We offer a wide range of high-efficiency mono-crystalline and poly-crystalline solar panels from leading manufacturers. Both fixed-angle and adjustable systems are available, plus hybrid panels that combine solar PV and thermal technologies for increased energy production.
A typical 4 kW domestic solar PV system installed in this region can generate around 3,400–3,800 kWh annually—enough to cover 60–80% of an average UK household’s electricity usage, depending on roof orientation and shading.
Absolutely. By generating clean electricity onsite, you’ll draw less from the grid, reducing your energy bills. Any surplus power can be exported to the National Grid via Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments, giving you potential income for unused energy.
Most domestic solar installations are considered “permitted development” and don’t require planning permission. Exceptions apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or has a flat roof—our team will review your circumstances and advise if permission is needed.
Typical installations for a 3–5 kW system take just one full working day on-site, with extra time for design, surveys, and grid connection setup. You can expect project completion within a few weeks from initial enquiry.
Our solar panels come with 25-year linear performance warranties, and inverters include a standard 10-year guarantee, extendable to 15–20 years. We also offer workmanship guarantees on all installations in Bournemouth, Poole and greater Dorset.
Yes. Modern solar panels generate electricity even in diffuse light. While peak output occurs on sunnier days, Dorset’s average climate still supports strong yields throughout spring, summer, and autumn.
Definitely. We install systems with smart inverters or monitoring platforms that allow you to track real-time generation, daily energy output, and savings via a smartphone app or web portal.
Yes, we offer battery systems paired with your solar panels to store excess solar energy. This allows greater use of solar power during evenings and dark months, further reducing reliance on grid electricity.
We provide solar panel installations across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Wimborne, Wareham, Dorchester, and the wider Dorset region, including rural and coastal communities. Free survey and quotations are available throughout the area.
Simply contact our team for a free site survey. We’ll assess your roof’s orientation, pitch, shading, energy usage, and grid connection. You’ll then receive a detailed, no-obligation quote tailored to your energy needs in Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset.
