A structured 7-stage approach to solar panel supply and installation — from initial enquiry through survey, design, installation, commissioning, and handover.
Start a Solar Enquiry
Solar installation context imagery. Not a Dodge Solar project.
Your name, contact details, property postcode, and initial interest.
Reviews the enquiry and prepares initial contact.
Acknowledgement of enquiry and next steps.
Property address, roof type, approximate roof area, existing electrical details, energy use, battery interest, and initial panel or system size thoughts.
Reviews property details, roof information, energy use, and initial product requirements to assess feasibility for survey.
Whether a site survey is appropriate and what information is needed to proceed.
Accurate energy use data, roof direction, shading information, planning restrictions, ownership or landlord permissions, and budget guidance.
Reviews suitability against property type, roof, energy use, electrical setup, access, and budget guidance.
Suitability for survey and any known constraints before proceeding.
Product preferences, battery interest, inverter considerations, monitoring requirements, and any specific product requirements.
Reviews panel options, inverter compatibility, battery suitability, system sizing, and component requirements against property and energy goals.
Indicative product categories and system design direction subject to survey.
Access arrangements, site survey appointment confirmation, and review of quotation.
Conducts site survey, confirms roof condition, shading, electrical setup, access requirements, and scaffolding needs. Prepares final quotation.
Final equipment, installation scope, project terms, product availability, and pricing.
Installation date confirmation, access arrangements, DNO notifications where required, and planning permissions where applicable.
Plans installation sequence, scaffolding, electrical preparation, grid connection notification, and equipment delivery.
Installation date, access plan, electrical work scope, and any grid connection requirements.
Review system documentation, monitoring setup walkthrough, and handover confirmation.
Commissions system, verifies output, completes safety checks, provides documentation, and hands over monitoring information.
System is operational, documentation is complete, and aftercare enquiry process is explained.
Roof tiles, felt, battens, and structural integrity assessed before installation proceeds.
Safe roof access requirements reviewed; scaffolding arranged through third-party providers.
DNO notification and grid connection requirements reviewed against the specific installation.
Equipment availability confirmed at point of quotation; subject to supplier and lead times.
Consumer unit capacity, metering, and earthing arrangement reviewed during survey.
Planning and building control requirements reviewed; customer responsible for obtaining required approvals.
No savings guarantee, generation guarantee, payback guarantee, export income guarantee, battery performance guarantee, product availability guarantee, compatibility guarantee, tariff benefit guarantee, warranty guarantee, installation timeline guarantee, grid connection guarantee, or energy independence guarantee is implied or provided. All estimates depend on assumptions and should be treated as indicative only.
