Solar PV Software for UK MCS Installers
BRCKS is project management software for UK solar and renewables installers — MCS-certified companies delivering domestic and small commercial PV installs at scale. Every install pulls together roofers, scaffolders, electricians, DNO applications, G99 paperwork and MCS compliance documents. BRCKS lives in the WhatsApp chats your team already uses to coordinate all of it, and turns those messages into a structured, audit-ready record for every job.
The result: you scale from 5 installs a month to 50 without breaking. Same workflow, same WhatsApp, more jobs — cleanly tracked and cleanly documented.
Why UK Solar Installers Choose BRCKS
Solar installs are unusually paperwork-heavy for a job that takes a day on site. Every job generates MCS compliance documentation, a DNO application, a G99 form (for larger systems), commissioning certificates and handover documents for the customer. Most of it currently lives in email, in a shared drive nobody can find, and in a folder on the installer's laptop. BRCKS pulls it into one place, filed by install address.
The tools built for tier-one construction don't fit a solar installer. And the tools built for domestic renovation don't understand the DNO process. BRCKS is built for the shape of a modern renewables installer: many small, fast, paperwork-heavy jobs, coordinated across a small internal team and a rotating cast of trades.
What BRCKS Does for a Solar Installer
Install scheduling across trades. Solar depends on trades showing up in sequence — scaffolders, roofers, PV installers, electricians. One delay cascades through the week. BRCKS gives you a live view of every job and who's next.
MCS, DNO and G99 document log. Every compliance document filed against the install address, dated, retrievable in seconds. When the customer asks for their MCS certificate two years later, you find it in one search.
Commissioning and handover. A photo of the final system, the commissioning cert and the customer handover pack — all in one place. Automatic site diary entry per install.
Subcontractors free. Every scaffolder, roofer and electrician you use is free on BRCKS. No per-seat penalty for building a proper coordinated crew.
Scaling from 5 to 50 Installs a Month
The moment a solar installer crosses about 10 installs a month, the spreadsheet stops working. Trades collide. Certs go missing. DNO applications sit unfollowed-up. BRCKS is designed to absorb that scale — because the record-keeping happens automatically from the WhatsApp your team is already sending. There is no linear increase in admin overhead as you add jobs.
Pricing
BRCKS is £40 per seat per month for your office team. Every subcontractor, trade and customer is free. See the pricing page or start your free trial.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is BRCKS built specifically for solar installers?
Yes. BRCKS is built for UK MCS-certified solar and renewables installers running multiple installs a month, and understands the DNO, G99 and MCS compliance paperwork every job generates.
Can I store MCS and DNO documents in BRCKS?
Yes. Every compliance document is filed against the install address, dated and searchable. Export a complete install pack per address for the customer or an audit at any time.
Do my scaffolders and electricians need to install anything?
No. All subcontractors and trades work from WhatsApp. Nothing to download, nothing to log into, and no per-seat cost for inviting them.
How does BRCKS compare to construction management software like Procore?
Procore is built for tier-one contractors on large projects — powerful, expensive and heavy to run. BRCKS is built for renewables installers running many small paperwork-heavy jobs. See our BRCKS vs Procore comparison.
