Say it in the chat. It lands in the job.
Install photos to the address
Panels, inverter and battery photos land on the install, ready for the MCS pack.
DNO and G99 tracked
Applications, approvals and chase dates sit against each address, so nothing stalls unnoticed.
Scaffold, roofer, sparky — in order
Everyone sees who's done and who's next on every install, so one delay doesn't cascade.
Three trades, one roof, one deadline.
Coordinating electricians, scaffolders, and roofers
Solar installs depend on 3-4 trades showing up in the right order. One delay cascades through everything. BRCKS shows you who's done what, and who's next.
MCS certification and DNO paperwork
You need MCS compliance docs, DNO applications, G99 forms — scattered across emails, WhatsApp, and shared drives. BRCKS stores everything against each install, searchable and audit-ready.
Scaling from 5 to 50 installs a month
Spreadsheets break the moment you grow. BRCKS scales with you — same workflow, same WhatsApp chats, just more jobs cleanly tracked.
Everyone uses what suits them. It all lands in the same job.

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.
