Streamline solar and battery DNO applications and save 10+ hours per week

Are DNO applications creating bottlenecks in your solar and battery installation business? Manual paperwork, missing technical details, and lengthy approval processes can cost UK installers significant time and money. Payaca's new DNO application integration eliminates these administrative burdens, helping solar and battery storage businesses increase operational efficiency by 60% whilst boosting profit margins.

The solar installer's DNO application challenge

Before Payaca's automation, solar and battery storage installers typically spent 12-15 hours per week managing DNO paperwork for G98 and G99 applications. This administrative overhead directly impacts profitability and project delivery timescales.

Common pain points include:

How Payaca transforms DNO applications through ENA Connect Direct integration

Our Distribution Network Operator application integration connects directly with ENA Connect Direct, streamlining the entire compliance process for solar and battery storage installations. Here's how UK installers are saving time and increasing profits across generation technologies.

Comprehensive generation technology support

Payaca handles DNO applications for solar and battery generation systems:

Note: Support for heat pump and EV charging DNO applications (G81/G100) is planned for future releases.

Automated technical data population for generation applications

All project specifications from your solar and battery quotes automatically populate the correct DNO application forms. Equipment manufacturer details, electrical ratings, protection settings, and MCS certification numbers flow seamlessly from project data into G98 or G99 applications as required.

Technical details automatically included:

Mobile-first documentation collection

Field engineers capture required technical documentation during site surveys using our mobile application. Installation photos, electrical diagrams, equipment labels, and meter readings are instantly available for DNO submissions, ensuring comprehensive G98 and G99 application packages that meet regional DNO requirements.

Real-time application tracking and management

Monitor DNO application status in real-time within Payaca across all six UK Distribution Network Operators. Receive instant notifications when approvals, modifications, or additional information requests come through, enabling faster installation scheduling and improved project coordination.

Proven results from UK solar installers

"Since implementing Payaca's DNO integration, we've reduced G99 application processing time from 3 days to 30 minutes. This efficiency gain allows us to complete 40% more solar installations per month, directly improving our profit margins. The automatic technical data population eliminates errors that previously caused application rejections." – Leading UK Solar Installer

Key benefits our customers report:

Technical specifications and compliance standards

Payaca's DNO integration ensures full compliance with current ENA Engineering Recommendations for generation technologies:

The system automatically determines whether a G98 notification or G99 application is required based on installation specifications and regional DNO requirements, ensuring appropriate technical documentation and compliance evidence for each submission.
