Backward planning
We date every milestone back from the completion deadline and build in slack where the risk sits: grid approval, weather and equipment.
Fast-track solar delivery,
inside your funding window.
A delivery route for projects with a fixed spend deadline. We plan the programme backwards from the date, run surveys, design and grid applications side by side, and put our own crews on site, so the money is spent, the system is commissioned and the evidence is ready on time.

01. Who this page is for
A deadline is a design constraint,
A deadline is a design constraint,
not an emergency.
This page is for programme managers, estates leads and finance officers with a grant award and a completion date that is closer than it looks. Funding often arrives late in the year, with procurement still to run and winter ahead. The projects that finish on time are the ones planned backwards from the deadline on day one.
Fast Track Delivery is how we do that. We map every milestone from award to commissioning, pick out the long-lead items such as DNO applications, structural surveys and equipment, and start them all straight away. Our engineering, roofing and installation teams are in-house, so we control our own capacity instead of waiting for someone else’s.
Along the way, you get milestone reports you can pass straight to the funder. At the end, you get the certificates, monitoring and evidence your funder return needs.

02. How fast track works
Five levers that
Five levers that
save weeks.
Parallel workstreams
DNO applications, structural surveys, design and procurement paperwork run at the same time, not one after another.
In-house capacity
Our own engineers, electricians and roofers are scheduled by us, so your programme is not left waiting on other firms.
Long-lead items first
We secure panels, inverters, batteries, steelwork and chargers early, so site work is never held up waiting for a delivery.
Milestone reporting
Weekly progress against the programme, in a format you can forward to the funder as it is.
Funding-aware paperwork
Quotations, certificates and evidence prepared the way your funder return expects them.

06. Fast track FAQs
Your deadline
Still have a question?0330 043 1047 Your deadline
questions answered.
How quickly can you start?
We typically book surveys within days of instruction, and long-lead items such as the DNO application start straight away.
What usually causes delay?
Grid approvals, structural surveys and equipment lead times. Fast Track Delivery starts all three together on day one.
Will you tell us if the deadline cannot be met?
Yes. The first-week programme shows what is achievable. If a date is not realistic, we say so and help you agree a revised milestone with the funder early on.
Can you deliver several sites at once?
Yes. We phase programmes across sites, schedule our own crews and report site by site.
What evidence do we receive for the funder?
Milestone reports during delivery, then MCS certificates, electrical certificates, DNO confirmation, monitoring access and as-built information at completion.
Does fast-track mean cutting corners?
No. Every project follows the same RAMS, MCS certification, electrical testing and commissioning. Time is saved by running tasks in parallel and starting long-lead items early, not by skipping steps.
What if grid approval takes longer than planned?
DNO timescales are outside any installer’s control, which is why we submit on day one. If approval looks likely to affect your deadline, we tell you straight away and set out the options, such as phasing the work, so you can speak to the funder early.
