Free desk feasibility
Day 1-7Send half-hourly meter data + roof plan. We pull historic PVSyst irradiance for your site, model 3 sizing scenarios (conservative/optimised/ambitious), confirm planning route, and return a fully-modelled proposal within 7 working days.
What you receive
- PVSyst yield model
- Three sizing scenarios
- Capex range per scenario
- Planning route assessment
- Grant mapping (AIA, PSDS, WCS, SEG)
- 02
On-site survey
Week 2-4Our structural and electrical engineers visit. Roof condition assessed to BS EN 1991 (dead + wind loads), main switchroom checked, cable routes designed, shading verified on-site, DNO incoming capacity confirmed.
What you receive
- Structural calculation
- Electrical single-line diagram
- Cable route plan
- Final inverter spec
- Fixed-price proposal
- 03
Permits & DNO application
Month 2-6We handle planning (Permitted Development notification, Prior Approval, or full planning where required), G99 grid connection application with the local DNO, and any grant paperwork (PSDS, IETF, etc).
What you receive
- Planning submission
- G99 application + DNO consultation
- Grant application drafting
- Building Regs Part A/L/P
- CDM 2015 designer pack

How We Work
The 6-step office solar install process
From half-hourly feasibility to 25-year O&M. Predictable. Documented. MCS-certified at every stage. Typical end-to-end timeline 6-9 months from acceptance to commissioning.
