For UK Solar installers

The average UK installer loses £9,200/month to paperwork, missed calls, and DNO silence.

You're already doing the job. We make sure you get credit for it. Our product is called the Grid Unblocker. It's install-day peace-of-mind architecture — a bot, a dashboard, and a monthly report — priced against the bleed, not against our cost.

The five moments

This is where installers win or lose the referral.

Not the whole journey. Just the five moments a homeowner actually remembers — and the one your crew drops because they're on a roof.

M1 The 7pm enquiry call 33% miss rate. Voicemail default. Callback 24–72 hrs later. "They answered. They sounded like they knew what they were doing. They're coming Tuesday."
M2 Quote with a real grid timeline Quote takes 5–14 days. "4–8 weeks" vague. No DNO-queue signal. "They quoted me in 48 hours. They told me exactly when the DNO would approve and when we'd be live."
M3 The 45–180 day wait Silence. Homeowner chases at week 4 and week 8. "Nothing from the DNO yet." "Every two weeks I got a one-line email: queue position 87 → 62 → 23. Nothing surprised me."
M4 Go-live day / first kWh Crew leaves. Paperwork handed over. "Let us know if any issues." "They sent a screenshot of my first hour's generation before I'd even opened the app."
M5 Month-3 after go-live Silence. Invoice was the last touch. "Month 3: you've offset £180 of fuel so far, here's what winter looks like, shout if you want a battery quote."

The maths

How £9,200/month adds up.

£4,080

M1 — 17 missed calls × 20% conversion × £15k × 8% margin

£1,820

Backstage drag — 12 hrs/week MCS + G99 + DNO chasing @ £35/hr

£1,500

M5 — referral flywheel never starts (15% delta vs. a good installer)

£1,200

M3 — 5% cancellation during the wait from poor comms

£600

Working capital — 90-day G99 delays on 6 live jobs @ £12k × 10%/yr

£110k

Annual bleed at the modal £1.5M-revenue installer doing 100 jobs/yr

At £2,500 setup + £500/month (£8,500 year one), Grid Unblocker prices in at 7.7% of the bleed it stops. That's the honest line: if it costs you less than £110k/year in lost margin, you're already ahead of this problem.
