Homesun, a British company founded in 2010, created one of the most innovative solar solutions the UK has ever seen. Homesun was set up to specialise in the installation and upkeep of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels on residential homes.
Although there has been a lot of attention in recent years on solar power and solar panels as well as renewables, Homesun was one of the first true pioneers in this space.
They have pioneered the solar energy industry, with their most significant endeavour, undertaken in collaboration with the UK government, extending from 2010 to 2012. Moreover, one of the founders created the phrase and the concept of Carbon Neutral, something now a part of our everyday lives and interactions with companies.
About Homesun
Homesun is now part of the Electron Green Group and was launched by Daniel Green, Sue Welland and Bill Sneyd in 2010.
Homesun stands as the most significant solar energy company in the UK, specialising in residential photovoltaic solar panel solutions. The company envisions a future where every home is powered by green energy and where the entire UK has achieved carbon neutrality.
What Did Homesun Offer?
Homesun’s team of solar photovoltaic specialists presented cost-effective solutions for PV solar for residential properties, starting at as little as just £1 per day.
Clients relished the full advantages of solar energy, relieved from the complexities of ownership expenses. The team assumed responsibility for both the installation and maintenance of high-quality solar systems on individual rooftops, granting access to all electricity for a convenient fixed monthly payment.
Homesun’s Work With Homeowners and The Government
Homesun has an impressive history with photovoltaic solar panels. In 2010, Homesun pioneered the ‘Free Solar’ sector through the introduction of the Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) scheme, aiming to revolutionise the residential energy market and elevate solar power to a prominent position.
Working with the UK Government, this initiative marked the first opportunity for UK homeowners to have a solar PV system installed on their roofs and access electricity without incurring charges.
Although the company was acquired by Aviva in 2012, their website is now active once more and we anticipate exciting developments from Homesun in the near future.
The innovative and entrepreneurial team behind Homesun, Sue Welland, Daniel Green and Bill Sneyd are on a mission to get the UK to a position where it is truly carbon neutral and where solar power is part of the norm with regards to how we all power our homes and more.
Who is At The Top of Homesun?
Homesun is led by a team of experts from diverse backgrounds, including Sue Welland who, during the 1990s, co-founded The Carbon Neutral Company, trademarking ‘Carbon Neutral’ and establishing the world’s pioneering carbon trading (offsetting) organisation for both businesses and consumers, and Daniel Green who is a serial entrepreneur founding companies like retail store Brand Centre and YouMe TV.
