Watt NextSURVEY & REPORT BUILDER
Watt Next survey and DNO service

For new appointments, Adrian Bruce, trading as Watt Next, provides the survey/report and manages the DNO application with signed customer authority. The chosen installer approves the technical design and final price, then contracts with and invoices the customer separately. Proposed installer-funded remuneration is 10% of the agreed installation value excluding VAT, including the conditional service fee already received. The installer gives the customer the matching £495-per-application installation credit. Written installer agreement required; existing saved agreements retain their original terms.

FROM FIRST VISIT TO CUSTOMER REPORT

Survey once. Report clearly.

Free assessment → authorise the DNO-first package → full survey report → final installation decision. £495 per agreed application, payable only on an acceptable DNO outcome; no separate survey charge.

Start with a blank survey or transfer a fictional example from the Watt Next calculator. Choose a saved customer record or New customer for real work.

New unsaved record

74 example inputs still need review. Red text and the Example value label show what remains. Editing or choosing Reviewed clears the mark; this records your review, not technical verification. Saving retains progress. Record type stays SIMULATION until you deliberately change it for a real customer.

Customer

Please ask the client for existing building records.

Request the current asbestos register, management plan and relevant survey reports; also request roof structural reports / calculations, original or as-built drawings, roof specifications, alteration records and roof warranties, if available. Ask the landlord, managing agent or original building designer where needed.

Receiving a report is not approval: check its date, scope, exclusions and coverage of the roof, fixings and cable routes. A competent asbestos adviser should determine whether the planned work needs a targeted refurbishment survey. A structural engineer must assess the proposed PV, mounting / ballast, permanent rail, wind / snow and temporary loading. A drone roof-condition survey or mounting-supplier layout alone does not establish building load capacity.

Start with an engineer’s review of existing information, then agree any site visit, investigation or calculations required. Approve extra professional fees before commissioning and record the allowance here; these notes do not add a cost to the calculator automatically. Upload available reports in Evidence.

Separate written acceptance is required. It is not accepted by signing the DNO-first authority. Confirm the service schedule, response times, price, VAT, term, cancellation and price reviews. Replacement equipment, remedial repairs, emergency visits and specialist access are extra unless expressly included. Maintenance already deducted in the forecast must not be deducted again.
