Qualification
Scored site assessment against six bankability vectors — roof geometry, energy data, grid path, obstructions, supply type and structural. A credit-grade lead in minutes, not weeks.
Pre-build infrastructure for UK solar and retrofit.
From site qualification through engineering design to compliance, Trident produces works-ready solar orders against a standardised bankability scorecard — the artefact a credit committee can actually underwrite.
The bottleneck between green capital and UK rooftops is qualification.
Banks and ESG funds have capital mandated for distributed renewables. UK rooftops have demand. Yet sub-£1M projects sit unqualified because the qualification chain — surveyor, designer, DNO, bill-of-materials and installer quote — runs across a fragmented two-week process. The economics break before the engineering even begins.
Capital concentrates in utility-scale wind and solar; distributed rooftop lags both its policy targets and the clean economics it offers building owners. The bottleneck is not capital, not installers, not design tools. It is the cost of qualification.
Trident builds the pre-build engineering layer.
Trident Infrastructure runs the full qualification, design and compliance chain end-to-end. From a UK address, the system produces a works-ready solar order against a standardised bankability scorecard — the artefact a credit committee can actually underwrite at sub-£1M ticket sizes.
The system, in three stages.
Design
Verified panel layout, hourly yield, full bill of materials and the underwriting-ready technical record. The data a credit committee needs, produced once and re-usable across every order.
Compliance
DNO-ready data, structural and electrical verification, and a works-ready handoff to installer. The pre-build pack a credit committee signs against.
For retrofit contractors.
Trident OS Retrofit runs a social-housing retrofit programme from contract to claim, with one record for every home. It reads survey returns and compliance documents, checks every gate before install, produces the solar design and runs install bookings from one board. Staff spend their time on the homes that are actually stuck, not on re-keying the same home into several trackers. It is in daily use on a live UK social-housing programme.
Get ready
Contract import, surveys, survey returns read automatically, gating documents checked, solar design released, induction and isolator recorded.
Install
One booking board, a diary of every visit, holds with a reason and a review date, QA reports read, snags decided, variations tracked, scaffold and close-out.
Get paid
Dated handover, MCS and grid paperwork per home, a log of what went to the client, lodgement, connection status and claims matched to the work.
Who Trident serves.
Retrofit contractors
One record per home across every contract and client, with the documents read for you and every gate checked before install.
Funders
A defensible underwriting artefact at sub-£1M ticket sizes that today can't be assessed economically. The same technical record across every order in a portfolio.
Suppliers
Integration-ready demand with verified components and trade-grade specifications. Real-time visibility on the bill-of-materials flowing through the pipeline.
Installers
Inbound work that arrives qualified, designed and compliance-ready. No upfront estimation labour required to bid.
