Company mission

Sunhero's mission is to provide easy and affordable access to high quality residential rooftop solar.

44% employee growth in 12 months

Our take

The Earth is facing a global climate crisis, primarily brought on by the burning of fossil fuels - a destructive and unsustainable practice that relies on finite resources. One promising alternative to fossil-fuel generated energy is solar energy, which is why Sunhero provides custom-built solar panel solutions to accelerate its adoption.

With considerable experience in international scaling efforts, the founders of Sunhero intend to pioneer the future of green energy by educating the public about solar options, and broadening access to solar systems. The company is currently focussed on Spain, where electricity prices are high and sunlight is abundant - making it a valuable target market for the solar revolution. Recent funding will go towards scaling operations in this region.

Company values

  • Focus on what matters: We are brought together by commitment to make a difference - to help reverse climate change. It is no small task. So we separate real priorities from noise. We make crucial decisions. Then we roll up our sleeves and act.
  • Grow when others shine: We believe people shine when they own their work and see their ideas come to life. So we put trust in our team members to do their job. We set each other up for success and grow together.
  • Challenge to learn: We learn by doing, creating space for growth, new ideas and possibilities. We know when to dive deep and when to fly high. We are not afraid of failures because they are our best teachers. And we appreciate feedback as an act of true care.
  • Care for our customers and planet: We start by imagining the world run on solar and work backwards. We know that our success comes from knowing our customers - homeowners and partners. We care about what they value. And we put this knowledge to test with each system installed.
  • Keep on rowing: A big idea comes to life through small steps. To make a difference we need to act. Everyday. To keep the wheels turning and to-do-lists crossed off. With a smile and a big heart.
  • Talking is silver, listening is gold: We nurture a culture of respect and belonging. We harness strength in diversity and individuality. Everyone has a story to tell. It starts with listening.
