Yes 3 months time scale to install and notify DNO which is on the G99 Form A1-2 application form

Still waiting since last Thursday 20th October 2022 to hear from the Supplier, I left calls and contact forms twice now... 

Is this the text from the application form that you are referring to?
"If all the eligibility criteria apply the DNO will confirm that the installation can proceed. The planned commissioning date stated on the application shall be within 10 working days and 3 months from the date the application is submitted."

I think it is worth calling SP and explaining that you were sent the wrong storage module so are now waiting for the correct one to be sent (you could add that you are trying to get hold of the supplier). Ask if they would require you to make a new application when your correct storage device arrives.

I would expect them to say no, (re-assessing your application will mean more work for them), unless the network is close to capacity limits in your area.

The important words from the above are "planned" and "shall". I am guessing that your planned commissioning date was originally within 3.5 months of your application date. But has now been postponed due to circumstances beyond your control.

Yes that is the paragraph.  Need to hear from the Supplier.  Have got 3 months then before re-applying or SP Energy say it's ok to go over the time period.   Waiting game now.... thanks for your input much appreciated guys.

I am a bit confused we are with Western Power.

Our 4.4KW solar panels and Solis S6-GR1P4K invertor was fitted mid March 2022, for which Western Power issued a G98,
Later in the year October 2022 the same installer fitted a Solax X1-F1T-G4-50 AC invertor a Solax master Triple 5.8 battery, I informed Western Power, they emailed back and informed There is nothing further for National Grid to do. I can see that 1470001XXXX has been registered with your chosen supplier.

It looks like the Solax X1 range has a G100 declaration. This means that it can provide the export limitation requirement for the G99 fast track and that is why National Grid Distribution (formerly WPD) has approved your installation.

They've also acknowledged that your export meter has already been registered with a supplier. 

So you can just enjoy learning to use your new solar battery system.
