Description

In Episode 4 of Only Panels, hosts Michael (East Renewables) and Dan Holliday (DMH Electrical & Renewables) take a no-filter look at the chaos caused by G99 application rejections and long-winded DNO processes.

They share real-world frustrations of dealing with 45-week+ lead times, broken communication, outdated systems, and how this is crippling consumer trust, violating consumer codes, and outright stopping solar projects from going ahead.

From the ridiculous admin burden installers face, to the lack of accountability from network operators โ€” this is a raw, honest chat on how the people actually doing the work are the ones being left out of the conversation.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Key Topics:

  • Why G99 approvals take months (or get ignored altogether)

  • The broken DNO communication loop โ€“ no numbers, no updates, no help

  • How installer reputations are destroyed by grid delays

  • The tech gap between DNOs and modern solar systems

  • Why public pressure and industry reform is long overdue

This oneโ€™s for every installer whoโ€™s been ghosted by a DNO, held hostage by red tape, or blamed for delays outside their control.
