Pricing

Screen up to 10 domestic or commercial sites for free. Pay when you are ready to progress.

Headroom takes you from a postcode to a lodged application: live grid screening, a cited verdict, portfolio ranking, then a submission-ready G98/G99 pack. Your first 10 sites can be domestic, commercial or any mix. You pay at one point only, when you generate the pack.

Five of the six steps are included across up to 10 sites, with no card. You pay at step five only, the point at which you have decided the site is worth it. Recording the outcome is free too, because every result you send back sharpens the next verdict.

Application services sell step five. We sell the journey.

There are businesses that will fill in a G99 for you, typically £90 to £165 for smaller applications, and £175 to £450 or more for commercial work. They produce the paperwork. What they cannot tell you is whether the site was worth applying for in the first place.

Headroom screens the site before you commit, ranks it against everything else in your pipeline, sizes the system the grid will approve, generates the pack, and then learns from the outcome. The pack is the cheapest part of what we do. It is not the point of it.

What is included in a plan

Plans include a number of applications a month, up to a system size. One application is one G98 or G99 document pack. Sizes above your plan ceiling are not included, but can be bought on top at the rates shown, and anything beyond your monthly allowance is charged the same way.

Questions

Which DNOs does the commercial screening cover?

All six, with the depth of data varying by operator. Network Status shows exactly what is live where, and is kept current as networks come online.

Does the document pack constitute a submitted G99 application?

No. The pack generates forms that are ready to review, complete and submit. You, or your installer or agent, submit to the DNO. Headroom does not submit on your behalf in the current version.

Are the forms up to date with G99 Issue 2 (2025)?

Yes. Protection settings defaults reflect ENA EREC G99 Issue 2 (10 March 2025), including the removal of Vector Shift as a standalone LOM method. The SAF template reflects SAF v11.14 (June 2025).

I am a solar installer doing a mix of domestic and commercial. Which tier?

Any of them. Every plan does both domestic (G98 and G99 Type A) and commercial (G99 Type B). There is no domestic or commercial split, and there never was a good reason for one. Choose on volume and system size: Starter includes six applications a month up to 15 kW, Growth twenty up to 50 kW with branded reports, Pro fifty up to 50 kW with team access, API and commercial packs at £249. Anything above your size ceiling is charged at the pack rate. Every free account includes up to 10 domestic or commercial sites before you choose a plan.

What is the Enterprise tier and when is it available?

Enterprise covers application bureaux, high-volume developers and installers managing multiple client accounts. It adds API access, SSO, custom application volumes, a client management dashboard and managed submission. We do not publish a price because the requirements vary too much to be useful. Tell us what you need at contact@headroom.technology and we will price it properly.

What happens if I use all my included applications?

Nothing stops. We show you the exact cost before you generate, VAT included in the figure, and ask you to confirm. You then pay for that application at the standard pack rate, £39 to £299 by system size, and the pack is generated. You will never be blocked from generating an application you need, and you will never be charged without confirming first. If you are regularly going over, upgrading is cheaper and applies immediately.

Do unused applications roll over?

Unused applications roll over for one month, then expire. Screening does not use your allowance, so nothing you do at the screening stage counts against it.

Why is screening free? What is the catch?

There is not one. Screening costs us very little to run and it is how you find out whether Headroom is any good. We would rather you screened up to 10 sites, ranked them, and came to us when the right ones were worth applying for, than paid us a subscription before you had seen a verdict. You pay at the point you have decided a site is worth pursuing, not before.
