  • Is grid connection frustrating you?
  • Are you concerned about missing opportunities?

The recent remarkable growth of renewable energy projects will continue as the country strives to meet challenging targets set by government for renewable energy generation.

Envirolink has developed a CPD accredited training course that will build your knowledge of grid connection.

Inacurate, delayed and refused applications just add costs to your project and delays the income from Feed-in Tariffs. Lost income can lead to lost investor confidence.

  • Are providing consultancy to solar PV projects
  • Run a solar PV business
