Know the grid before you quote.

The grid check is where renewable projects stall

For any job that touches G99, battery, commercial, or a constrained network, the DNO approval happens after the sale: weeks of limbo, sometimes a "no." That's the #1 blocker installers name, whatever the technology.

From 27 August, plug-in solar adds a large volume of small, notifiable generation. Small does not mean exempt: an 800 VA plug-in unit is grid-connected generation and the G98 notification still applies. Your customers will ask you about it. What the rules actually say

Three steps, one platform

From a postcode to a lodged application, at the kitchen table.

Design tools stop at the proposal. We own the approval.

Design platforms draw a beautiful system, then leave the installer to find out, weeks later, whether the grid will even allow it. Headroom is the layer that closes the loop.

Keep your design tool. Headroom sits alongside it and owns the grid-connection step that actually blocks deployment, at a fraction of the cost of the thing design tools don't do at all.

Queue positions are increasingly something you evidence rather than reserve. Ofgem's connections reform is steadily removing projects that cannot show they are ready, and the capacity picture moves with it. Screening live is how you find out where you actually stand. What is changing

Free to screen. Pay only when you submit.

Built on live data, cited on every verdict

Full substation-level verdicts are live across all six GB network operators: London, the South East and East, the North East and Yorkshire, the North West, southern Scotland, Merseyside and North Wales. In National Grid Electricity Distribution and SSEN areas a screen returns connection-queue and export-restriction data, and says plainly that a substation verdict is not yet available, rather than returning a blank.
