Otta's take on Sunsave
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
SunSave are setting out to make solar energy and battery storage accessible to the mass market by removing the upfront cost and providing a subscription service that takes care of everything – from installation to maintenance - so that every UK household can save on their energy bills.
The model is designed to remove the biggest barrier to installing rooftop solar and storage - the c.£10-15k in typical upfront cost - allowing customers to save on their energy bills from day one. This is wrapped into a hassle-free service, with installation, monitoring, and maintenance included, which also enables households to sell excess electricity and participate in the smart grid.
The green company has already attracted the attention of blue-chip VC funds and household name entrepreneurs, raising c.£5m in an oversubscribed seed round in January 2022. Sunsave will bring a tried and tested business model (e.g. Sunrun) to the UK and, in so doing, build the next green unicorn.

Diversity & Inclusion at Sunsave
Juliet Mance (Head of Growth)
- One of our core values as a young start up is that there's strength in diversity.
- We believe that a team with different perspectives, backgrounds and life- experiences will always outperform a homogenous one.
- We believe in creating a team that actively celebrates and benefits from all types difference - including, race, gender, sexuality & neurodiversity.
- We're committed to recruiting a team that doesn't look, feel and think the same way we do. And we have formal processes and measures in place to hold ourselves to account (at every level). This is to try and ensure that our values aren't just things written down on a Notion page somewhere (sadly many of us have experienced workplaces like that!), but are actually values that we live and strive to demonstrate daily.
- Practical ways we show our commitment to building a diverse and inclusive team are:
- Flexibility of working hours, location and benefits to ensure employment suits different circumstances
- Enhanced parental leave
- Utilising software to test all job descriptions for unconscious bias
- Recruitment processes that are inclusive of our wider team and include an objectively measured skills based assessment wherever appropriate
