Sunsave, a London-based startup and the UK’s first solar subscription service provider authorised by the FCA, has expanded its product to Scotland.
Having raised over £100m in funding over the summer, Sunsave has been scaling its product and reach as it attempts to broaden access to solar energy in the UK.
The company was founded to offer access to renewable solar power to households concerned by the upfront installation costs. Sunsave instead installs the solar infrastructure and charges a monthly rate.
Now through a partnership with Snugg, an Edinburgh-based provider of home energy plans, Sunsave’s services will be offered in Scotland.
“Launching in Scotland is another major milestone on the Sunsave journey. Already, customers in England and Wales are saving hundreds of pounds a year on their energy bills with a Sunsave Plus subscription,” said Sunsave co-founder and chief executive Alick Dru.
“Our partnership with Snugg is a natural fit, making it easier to reach customers earlier in their journey and bring them a clear path to solar power. We’re looking forward to bringing lower energy bills to people all over Scotland.”
Sunsave has claimed that customers have been able to save almost £700 a year on energy costs.
“At Snugg we want to make it easier for people to take action that has an impact right away. We know cost is one of the biggest reasons people put off installing energy improvements,” said Robin Peters chief executive of Snugg.
“With Sunsave we are helping remove that barrier so homeowners can start saving straight away. No big upfront payment needed. It is a simple and practical way to lower bills and support a cleaner, greener future and we are excited to bring that option into the Snugg journey.”
