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
