It depends on the size of the system and how long the DNO takes to approve the grid connection. Larger systems needing a G99 application usually take longer to approve. We’ll give you a realistic timeline in your proposal and keep you updated at every stage.
We plan the work around your operations to keep disruption to a minimum. Most of the work happens on the roof or the ground-mount site. Any short shutdown needed to connect the system is agreed with you in advance.
We do. Smaller systems are usually notified under G98, while larger systems need approval under G99 before they connect. We prepare and submit the application and deal with the DNO on your behalf.

Yes. We assess the roof’s type, condition and structure during the survey. Where needed, a structural check confirms it can carry the panels before we finalise the design.
We hand over your system with the paperwork you need, including MCS certification for systems up to 50kW. Energy monitoring tracks performance, and our operations and maintenance service keeps the system running well. If anything needs attention, we’re on hand to help.
