The community portal explains how distributed energy projects work commercially, technically, and operationally in plain English." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Who is the portal for?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "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. This is an education space first." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What does “community-first” mean here?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "We do not 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." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Are you offering investments on this public website?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No. This page is for education only. It is not an offer, invitation, or inducement to engage in investment activity, and it does not provide investment advice. Any capital-related information (if applicable) would be handled separately, through appropriately restricted channels with the relevant approvals and eligibility checks where required." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How are projects typically structured when third-party capital is involved?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "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, without presenting an offer." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How do you decide which projects are “good enough” to proceed?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "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 economics and operations with conservative assumptions. If it only works in a perfect world, it does not ship." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What are the main risks people should understand (technical and commercial)?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Key risks include customer payment reliability, equipment performance, maintenance quality, site security, permitting/regulatory change, and (for cross-border projects) currency and settlement friction. We focus on making risk explicit, owned, and managed." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What does a business owner actually get if they switch with Tribes Capital?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "A managed energy solution: assessment, system design, installation via vetted partners, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance. The aim is fewer outages, less diesel exposure, and clearer energy budgeting, without you becoming an energy company." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do businesses need to pay upfront?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on the site, the system, and the commercial model. The portal explains common approaches (purchase, lease, and energy-as-a-service style structures) and what each implies for cost, ownership, and responsibility." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What happens after installation?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "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”." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How do you prevent misleading claims (savings, uptime, impact)?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "We avoid blanket promises. Where we share numbers, we tie them to assumptions, boundaries, and measurement methods (what was counted and what was not)." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Where can I go deeper without crossing compliance lines?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Inside the portal you will find explainers, risk notes, governance walk-throughs, and (for businesses) site qualification steps. If there is ever a restricted area for capital-related information, it would be separated, controlled, and compliance-reviewed." } } ] }

Linking Policy

This policy applies to tribes.capital and our community portal and any subdomains (together, the Site).

Purpose

We include links to support member education and ecosystem collaboration. Links are provided for convenience and information and do not mean we endorse the linked organisation, its products, services, or opinions.

 
A. Links from our Site to other websites (external links)
1) No endorsement; you leave our Site

When you click an external link, you may be leaving our Site and becoming subject to the external site’s own terms and privacy/security practices. We are not responsible for the content, availability, or practices of external sites.

2) How we choose external links

We may link to external sites where we believe the link is useful and relevant to our mission (clean energy, project delivery, governance, and investor education). Typical considerations include whether the site is:

  • relevant, useful, and complementary to what we publish;

  • reasonably accurate and current;

  • clear about who sponsors/owns it and any conflicts or commercial intent;

  • accessible and usable (where feasible).

3) What we won’t link to (or may remove)

We may refuse, remove, or decline to link to sites that, in our view:

  • contain unlawful, deceptive, defamatory, hateful, discriminatory, or abusive content;

  • promote violence, scams, or unsafe/illegal activity;

  • are primarily designed to mislead, manipulate, or spread unsubstantiated claims;

  • are clearly outdated, broken, or unmaintained;

  • request a link mainly for SEO manipulation or link schemes (rather than genuine user value).

4) Reviews and link checking

We may use automated and/or manual checks to review external links and can remove or replace links at any time without notice. If you find a broken or inappropriate link, email compliance@tribes.capital with the page URL and the link in question.

 

B. Links to our Site from other websites (linking to us)
1) You can usually link to our public pages

You may link to our public pages without prior written permission, provided your link:

  • is not deceptive or misleading;

  • does not imply we sponsor, endorse, or approve you or your activities; and

  • is presented fairly and in context.

2) What you must not do without written permission

You must not, without our written permission:

  • use our name, logo, trademarks, or brand assets (except where we provide an official “press/brand kit”);

  • frame, mirror, or embed our pages in a way that makes them appear part of your website or service;

  • link to, expose, or attempt to bypass member-only, login-protected, paywalled, or restricted areas (including investor pages, dashboards, or documents);

  • use links to our Site in paid ads, affiliate offers, or promotions that suggest guaranteed outcomes or create pressure to invest.

3) When we may ask you to remove a link

We may request removal of a link to our Site at any time where we reasonably believe:

  • the linking context is misleading or harms our reputation;

  • it implies endorsement or partnership where none exists;

  • it is used in connection with unlawful, harmful, or deceptive activity.

If we ask you to remove a link, you agree to do so promptly.

 

C. Requests to add your link to our Site

We don’t accept money, services, or “link swaps” in exchange for links. If you want to suggest a link, email compliance@tribes.capital with:

  • the exact URL,

  • a 1-2 sentence justification (why it helps our community),

  • who owns/operates the site,

  • any commercial relationships or sponsorship disclosures.

We may decline without explanation.

 

D. Legal notes
  • This policy sits alongside our Terms of Use, Disclaimer/Risk, and Privacy Policy.

  • External links are provided “as is” and do not create any partnership, agency, or endorsement relationship.

Governing law: England & Wales (unless mandatory local laws apply).
