Company mission

To make solar energy accessible for everyone.

Our take

Global warming and carbon footprints are at a record high across the globe, meaning the move to clean energy sources such as solar panels is quickly becoming a matter of urgency. The biggest blocker to this growth for the average household is cost of installation. Soly is looking to fix this issue with clever, cost effective ways of working combined with efficient software. This results in reducing the financial burden on customers, speeding up the journey to a sustainable future.

Boasting more than 10 years of experience in the space and armed with their ambitious goal to make solar energy "accessible to everyone", they have installed over 800,000 solar panels for over 31,000 customers already. Showing no signs of slowing down, Soly has secured new funding with the aim of launching in new markets throughout Europe. It will be exciting to see how much Soly makes a difference in the solar market, and just what effect that will have on global emissions.
