From the chalk downs of the Dorset National Landscape to the working harbours of Poole and Weymouth, our engineers at ProStar Energy install and maintain solar panel systems for homes and businesses across one of the most varied counties in Southern England.
Dorset's mix of Georgian market towns, working farms, seaside leisure venues and busy high streets calls for genuine local knowledge, not a standard install applied everywhere the same way. We have fitted systems on a working Dorset farm, at golf course buildings outside Bournemouth, and at a busy surgery in Ferndown. Whether you run a home in Wimborne or a department store on the Dorchester high street, our approach to solar panel services in Dorset starts with a proper survey of your property, not a generic estimate.


Every residential and commercial installation begins with a full site survey, whether that is a pitched roof on a Victorian villa in Bournemouth or a trapezoidal metal roof on a retail unit in Weymouth. Dorset's coastal exposure means we specify fixings and components rated for salt-laden air, particularly on sites near Poole Harbour and the Jurassic Coast.
For larger commercial roofs, we have delivered systems exceeding 100 kWp, including a 126 kWp array at a Bournemouth school and a 102 kWp system at a leisure centre in Weymouth. Where a roof cannot take panels, such as a listed building in Sherborne, we have designed a freestanding solar canopy instead, keeping the building's character intact while still generating clean power on site.
Solar systems across Dorset face genuine wear from salt-laden coastal air, gull damage, and inland weather extremes. We provide a rapid response repair service across Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth, Dorchester and Sherborne, covering cracked panels, failed inverters, loose mounting and wiring faults.
Free inspections let us diagnose the issue before any work begins, so you know exactly what needs fixing. We work on residential and commercial systems, including installations originally fitted by other companies, and our engineers carry the parts and expertise to resolve most faults in a single visit. A faulty system left unattended only costs more in lost generation.


Regular maintenance keeps domestic and commercial solar systems performing at the level they were designed for, and Dorset's coastal salt air makes this more important than in many parts of the country. Our maintenance packages include performance checks, cleaning and component inspections tailored to your property, whether a clifftop site near Weymouth or a sheltered location inland near Blandford.
For commercial clients, we monitor inverter data over time to flag any drop in output early, an approach used at a GP practice in Corfe Mullen to inform decisions on battery storage. Ongoing servicing protects your manufacturer's guarantees and the workmanship warranty included with every installation.

Solar panels deliver clear, measurable benefits for Dorset properties, whatever the scale. The most immediate is cost: generating your own electricity reduces reliance on the grid and protects against rising energy prices, a benefit reflected in installations such as Goulds Garden Centre in Weymouth, where a 74 kWp system cut the centre's daytime running costs significantly.
For sites with complex roofs, like Poole Yacht Club, where panels were split across three separate roof structures, careful design still delivered strong financial returns. Beyond the numbers, solar reduces a property's carbon footprint, supporting Dorset's wider sustainability goals, and even small operations such as an eco-conscious homeware business in Bournemouth have cut their electricity costs by a third. With government incentives still available and systems built to perform for decades, the case for solar in Dorset has rarely been stronger.
We install, repair and maintain solar panel systems throughout Dorset, from the coastal towns to the market towns inland. Our work has taken us to Christchurch Sailing Club on the harbour, Titan Enterprises in Sherborne, and a GP practice in Poole, alongside countless residential properties in between. If your town is not listed here, get in touch, as we regularly travel further afield for the right project.
