Our intelligence standard Turn movement into meaning.
Policy layer01
Municipal solar rules should not require fifty browser tabs.
Agrid structures registration routes, tariff context, forms, and source documents by place.
Equipment layer02
A specification only matters when you can connect it.
Start from the hardware instead of the supplier. Every brand page lists the companies that name it, and the provinces they work in.
Career layer03
The industry advertises work. Rarely where anyone looks.
Vacancies sit on individual company websites, one page at a time. Agrid reads those pages and gathers what they advertise into one list.
The geography layerSolar decisions are national.
Solar decisions are national.
The rules are often local.
Place is not a filter added at the end. It changes policy, tariffs, participants, climate context, opportunity, and the answer itself.

Living knowledge
The answer is only the beginning.
Every Agrid explainer should reveal the evidence, trade-offs, related entities, and next decision—not trap the reader on a content island.

Plain-language answer
Start with the decision, not the jargon.
Primary-source evidence
Show where the answer came from and when it changed.
Connected next step
Move from understanding to products, people, or action.
The trust protocolAuthority is a system,
Authority is a system,
not a tone of voice.
Agrid earns trust by making evidence visible, freshness explicit, commercial influence legible, and corrections part of the record.
Source-led by designEvery claim should be inspectable.
- 01Primary sources first
- 02Commercial claims labelled
- 03Every record dated
- 04Corrections stay visible

The industry is fragmented.
The future does not have to be.
We are building the shared knowledge infrastructure for South African solar—one verified connection at a time.
