Solar panels & installationSolar panel installation for homes and businesses
BlankSolar installs solar arrays that are built for UK weather and wired to UK standards. Whether you need a first-time install or a replacement system, we handle design, mounting, inverter work, testing, and handover documentation.
Solar panels & installationFull solar panel installation
Solar panel installation is the complete process of fitting a photovoltaic array to your property — mounting system, modules, DC cabling, inverter, AC connection, testing, and handover. BlankSolar manages the project from approved design through to MCS certification.
We install on pitched and flat roofs for homes and businesses, using equipment from manufacturers in our partner range such as Jinko Solar, SolarEdge, GivEnergy, and Fox ESS. Scaffolding, weather delays, and DNO paperwork are planned upfront so you know the programme before work starts.
Every install is carried out by our MCS-certified, fully insured team. When commissioning is complete, we help you understand monitoring, export registration, and how to get the best value from the generation you produce.
- Design, supply, install, and commission in one team
- MCS-certified for SEG and warranty compliance
- Residential and commercial rooftops
- Based in Braintree — covering Essex and the UK

Installation
What to expect on install day
A typical home installation is planned around scaffolding, roof work, and electrical commissioning. Here is how the day usually runs.
System size
Choosing a solar system size
BlankSolar installs packages from 2kW to 6kW, and larger systems where the roof and supply allow it. Size should follow the property, not a default package.
MCS
What MCS certification means
MCS is the UK quality scheme most often required for export tariffs and many incentive applications. Here is what it covers, and what you should receive at handover.
