Powering a Sustainable Future Together

Tribes Capital builds and manages onsite solar + battery systems for essential businesses (like hospitals and other commercial facilities) so they can reduce diesel reliance and improve power reliability. This community portal exists to explain how distributed energy projects work: commercially, technically, and operationally, using plain English.

Two groups:
Business owners/operators who want predictable power and lower total energy costs, and community members who want to understand how real-asset energy projects are structured and governed.

It means we don’t lead with hype. We lead with how decisions get made, what risks exist, and how accountability works across customers, suppliers, operators, and (where relevant) capital providers. The portal is designed to help people ask better questions and we do it together.

No. This page is not an offer or invitation. It’s an explainer of how onsite energy projects can be structured and run. Anything that could be considered an investment communication would be handled separately, with appropriate restrictions, approvals and checks, as applicable.

A common model is a project-specific vehicle (SPV) that owns the energy asset, contracts with suppliers/operators, and receives customer payments for power or service. The portal explains this structure so governance, cashflows, responsibilities, and failure points are visible.

We screen sites on fundamentals: load profile, reliability pain, site constraints, security, customer operating strength, and technical fit (solar resource, sizing, integration). Then we pressure-test the economics and operations with conservative assumptions. If it only works in a perfect world, it doesn’t ship.

The big ones are: customer payment reliability, equipment performance, maintenance quality, site security, permitting/regulatory change, and (for cross-border projects) currency and settlement friction. We don’t pretend risk disappears – we focus on making it explicit, owned, and managed.

A managed energy solution: assessment, system design, installation via vetted partners, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance. The aim is simple: fewer outages, less diesel exposure, and clearer energy budgeting – without you becoming an energy company.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no – depends on the site, the system, and the commercial model. The portal explains the most common approaches (purchase, lease, energy-as-a-service style structures) and what each implies for cost, ownership, and responsibility.

Operations is the real product. Systems need monitoring, scheduled maintenance, and clear escalation paths when something fails. We focus on operational discipline – because “installed” is not the same as “reliable”.

We avoid blanket promises. Where we share numbers, we tie them to assumptions, boundaries, and measurement methods (what was counted, what wasn’t). This matches the FCA expectation that communications give a balanced impression and support customer understanding.

Inside the portal: explainers, risk notes, governance walk-throughs, and (for businesses) site qualification steps. If, in future, there is any restricted area for capital-related information, it would be separated, controlled, and compliance-reviewed.
