Electrical services for homes and businesses
Renewable systems only work on sound electrics, which is why we do the electrical side of the job as well as the panels. Solarcore Energy Ltd carries out consumer unit upgrades, new installations, inspection and testing and remedial work, on its own or alongside a solar or charging project.
All work is carried out to Building Regulations requirements for electrical safety and tested to the current wiring regulations, with certification issued on completion.
Consumer unit upgrades
Older boards often lack the protection expected today, particularly RCD protection across circuits. An upgrade brings the board up to current standards, and it is frequently the first thing we flag when surveying a property for solar or a chargepoint.

What we are called out for
Small jobs are welcome and quoted on the same basis as larger work.
Consumer units
Rewireable fuses, no RCD protection or frequent tripping all point to an upgrade.
Lighting and circuits
Additional sockets, lighting, outbuilding supplies and rewiring, tested properly.
Inspection and testing
EICRs for homeowners, landlords and commercial premises, coded by urgency.
Remedial work
Faults put right and itemised against the report so you see what each line fixes.
Inspection, testing and remedial work
Testing exists to find the faults you cannot see. Deteriorating insulation, overloaded circuits, poor earthing and previous bad workmanship rarely announce themselves until something goes wrong.
Condition reports
An EICR assesses the installation against current standards. Landlords need one at least every five years.
Explained in plain terms
We tell you what each code means, what must be done now and what is merely an observation.
Business scheduling
Commercial testing arranged around your operating hours, with documentation suitable for insurers.
Book an electrician who turns up
Clear quotes, coded reports and no scare tactics about work you do not need.
Electrical work alongside renewable systems
Most of the electrical problems we find are discovered while quoting something else. Arrays, batteries and chargepoints all put new demands on an installation that may already be at its limit. Using one company for both avoids the familiar situation where two trades blame each other.
Preparing for solar
Sound earthing, suitable protection and board capacity checked before your solar quote is issued.
Ready for storage
Any upgrade needed for battery storage identified before installation, not mid-job.
Capacity for charging
Load management designed in rather than assuming a costly supply upgrade.
Electrical questions we are asked regularly
A quick guide to the queries that come up most, before you call.
How do I know if my consumer unit needs replacing?
Rewireable fuses, no RCD protection, scorch marks or frequent tripping all point to an upgrade. We can tell you quickly.
How long does an EICR take?
Typically two to four hours for a domestic property. Commercial premises vary with size and how much can be isolated on the day.
Will the power be off all day?
No. Testing needs circuits isolated in turn, usually briefly. A board change means a few hours, arranged to suit you.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. Work is certified and notified where required, and you receive the paperwork for insurers or a future sale.
Can you fix just one thing?
Of course. Small jobs are welcome and quoted on the same basis as larger work.
Do you cover commercial premises?
Yes, including periodic inspection for insurance and compliance across Northamptonshire.
