Sunsave, founded in 2022, is on a mission to make solar energy and battery storage accessible to the mass market by removing the upfront costs and providing a subscription service that takes care of everything - from installation to maintenance - so that more UK households can save on their energy bills.
The model is designed to remove the biggest barrier to installing rooftop solar and storage - the ~£10k typical upfront cost and long payback period - 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 such as Norrsken, the UK Department of Energy, and household name entrepreneurs including Michael Spencer and Stuart Rose, raising ~£11M in funding and growing to ~30 FTEs. Sunsave is the first company to bring the tied and tested solar subscription business model to the UK and in doing so, will build the next green unicorn.

We are literally starting from scratch, which means there is a lot of manual work that needs to be automated by building processes, systems and tools. However, at Sunsave, no idea is dismissed or shut down, as we are constantly encouraged to fail and learn from those mistakes so we can continue learning and developing our problem-solving skills.

Simply put, SunSave are building the country's future sustainable energy system. Climate change is the most critical issue facing our generation, and traditional energy networks are not designed to handle the shift to clean energy that is going to have to take place. Solar panels and battery storage are a huge part of the clean energy transition, but the costs make it difficult for many to justify. This is where companies like SunSave will play a vital role. Using storage, solar panels, and smart energy management, combined with an affordable subscription model, we're making solar energy systems accessible to all.

Inspiring mission
Jul 2022
We've got lots to build and a clean slate on which to do it. The solar industry traditionally relies on manual processes, which gives us huge scope for building tools and processes for automation. In addition, the smart energy management aspect of what we're building will require building complex data-driven systems. Last but not least, we want to provide a stellar customer experience, from initial quote generation through to everyday management.
