What's Sunsave Plus and why did we launch it?

We've created Sunsave Plus, the UK’s first solar subscription, because we want to make solar accessible to all UK households.

Here are the three key reasons why Sunsave Plus has come at just the right time for people all over the country:

The Sunsave Guarantee

Why you can always rely on the Sunsave Guarantee

In an industry where solar installers regularly come and go, we’ve built the foundations to ensure that Sunsave is around for many years to come:

• We've got serious financial backing from venture capital funds like Norrsken, and the UK government’s Green Home Finance Accelerator
• We're FCA-regulated and fully accredited (and we're also a Which? Trusted Trader)
• We've assembled an experienced, talented team of people who’ve built world-changing products at other companies
• We've got a proven business model. Solar subscriptions already been a success in other countries, including the US, Germany and Spain

But in the very unlikely event that our operating company encounters financial difficulty in the future, the reserves to pay for your system's maintenance would be protected. To learn more, click here.

Why is Sunsave Plus better than a loan or a roof lease?

Sunsave Plus is fundamentally better than a roof lease or a loan.

You'll own your system from day one, which means you're free to sell your home or make any home improvements you like, and any export income you earn is all yours.

And our solar subscription is spread across 20 years, which keeps your monthly payments affordable and means you could save more than you spend.

For the entire 20 years, you'll be covered by the Sunsave Guarantee, which comes with 24/7 monitoring and maintenance, free replacement parts, and downtime cover. Your system will also be insured by Aviva against damage, fire and theft.

Here’s a bit more detail.

What’s going to happen to UK energy bills?

Even before the energy crisis, electricity prices increased by 5.5% each year on average from 2000 onwards.

No-one can fully predict the future, but they are expected to remain high until at least the late 2030s.

With Sunsave Plus, your monthly payments are fixed, so you’re protected against inflation from rising energy bills, and your savings should increase over time.

And after 20 years, once your payments end, your annual savings will increase dramatically.

Will Sunsave Plus work all year round?

Solar panels work all through the year, even in the UK. All they need is daylight.

Your solar panels generate the most energy in summer, when you’ll sell the most excess electricity to the grid.

Your solar panel output will drop in winter, but won’t stop completely. You’ll just need to top up with grid electricity.

Next steps

Many people around the world have benefited from solar subscriptions – particularly in Germany, the US, and Spain – and now it's here to unlock solar for UK households.

Solar is a powerful way to save money and reduce your carbon footprint, and there’s no reason people should be excluded due to high upfront costs.
