Grid connection services
Grid connection is not optional for larger arrays. BlankSolar prepares technical data, submits notifications to your distribution network operator, and keeps you informed until energisation is confirmed.

Grid connection & DNO services
Connecting solar to the UK grid requires correct notification or application to your distribution network operator (DNO). BlankSolar identifies whether your system needs G98 notification or G99 approval and submits technical data on your behalf.
We track responses, advise on export limits, and plan install dates around approvals where energisation must wait. Commercial and three-phase sites receive the same structured approach with longer lead times flagged early.
Proper grid paperwork protects you legally and ensures SEG and warranty requirements stay aligned with an authorised connection.
- G98 and G99 handled in-house
- Export limiting configured on inverters
- Timelines explained per network operator
- Documentation for SEG and handover
Compliant connection
Required for larger arrays and many battery installs.

Applications
Correct G98 (notify) or G99 (apply) routes for your kW and supply type. Forms include inverter details and installation address.

Export limits
Where DNO requires export curtailment, we configure inverter limits and explain impact on annual yield.

Commercial
Three-phase and larger sites receive dedicated project management — longer lead times are flagged early.
Connection process
We keep you informed at each stage.
Notification
We identify whether your system is notify-only or needs formal approval before install proceeds.
