Totum Renewables · Chris

A breath of fresh air.

CLRD is a breath of fresh air in an industry known for being paperwork heavy. I'm really happy with how much it's streamlined my processes, especially the boundary line and SLD features. Great product, and I'm looking forward to the features coming next. 10/10!

Dorset Green Energy · Max

Very smooth.

Fantastic system that streamlines the whole process and makes it effortless. I really like how everything's in one place, rather than juggling multiple portals for different DNOs. Took three minutes for the first job, and I've just run another.

An essential tool of my business.

This is one of those bits of software that is now considered an essential tool of my business. It genuinely saves a ton of time and stress in the DNO application process, and I now won't do without it.

Depth of Light · Matt

Forty-five minutes of re-typing, now seconds.

CLRD's Auto-DNO API pulls straight from our job data, so a G98/G99 submission that used to be 45 minutes of re-typing now takes literally seconds to generate the pack and submit. It's totally changed the way I work from my CRM.

SLC Solutions · Stuart & Shaun

Easy to get it out the door.

It's very good. I like how easy it is to get the forms out the door. And the amendment was brilliant: it comes back quick without losing its place in the queue. Amendments in the past have put us to the bottom of the pile. Very cool.

Stuart

Took me ten minutes to get two submitted.

I think it's great. Took me about 10 mins to get two submitted earlier today. We're very busy which is good, and CLRD is helping, so thank you.

Core Electrics & Renewables · Andrew

Wish I'd found you a few months ago.

The most time-consuming part of doing it manually is the line diagrams, and then getting the customer to get the Letter of Authority signed. The fact that it's all in one place with you guys is just absolutely spot on. Saves a lot of time and tons of hassle. But it's not just about the time that it saves, it's more about the stress that it saves for me.

The system is quality.

Literally saving us hours in admin.

We at SolarVolt Energy Ltd have found this app literally saving us hours in admin completing and applying for DNO approval, in what can be a very torturous and slow process. The app is easy to navigate, intuitive, and keeps us automatically updated on progress.

We are big fans!

The Big Heat Pump Company · Gary

It's saved us hours of work already.

We're really pleased we found CLRD for our business. It's already saved us hours of work on our DNO applications. It's really easy to use, and the support has been fantastic.

What those minutes produced

Every application above went out complete.

Not a form, and not a draft. You enter the job once, and CLRD works out which documents the DNO needs, then fills every one of them from that same data. A straightforward application runs to five documents. Add an export limit, an EV charger or a heat pump and the job needs more, which adds seconds to the build, not minutes.

See every document CLRD builds

A generated pre-install application in CLRD, showing the time it was generated and submitted above the eight documents produced: cover letter, device schedule, EVCP and HP form, G100 Form A, G99 A1-1, letter of authority, site map and single line diagram

Enlarge

Cover letter

A one page transmittal, so the context stays with the documents when the DNO files them away from the email.

The routed ENA form

A1-1 on the General Type A applications, A1-2 on the SGI-3. CLRD picks which, from the job data.

Single line diagram

Drawn from the same figures as the form, so the two cannot disagree.

Site boundary map

The property outlined with the meter pinned, as the location plan the DNO expects.

Letter of Authority

Signed by the customer, authorising the installer to deal with their network operator.

G100 declaration

Form A with the application where the job limits export or import, and Form C with the commissioning tests afterwards.

EVCP & HP form

The ENA demand-side form, on any job with an EV charge point, V2G charger or heat pump.

Device schedule

Added when the device list outgrows a form's printed table, so the list is never cut short.
