💷 You can make a full or early repayment at any time, with no penalties

🌞 Making a partial repayment is an affordable way to reduce your overall payment

💪 A full early repayment can massively cut your costs

We’ve created Sunsave Plus so that you can switch to solar energy without needing to have cash in the bank. Solar has the power to significantly reduce household electricity bills, and we believe this should be accessible to everyone. 

By spreading the cost with fixed monthly payments over a long period of time, we’ve ensured that Sunsave Plus is affordable for many households who otherwise aren’t able to get solar panels. 

However, we also know that your circumstances can change. And that’s why we’ve built Sunsave Plus with absolute flexibility in mind, so that it never ties you down. 

Sunsave Plus puts you in total control

Even though Sunsave Plus starts as a 20-year subscription, you are free to make a full repayment to end your contract, or a partial early repayment to reduce the term of your contract whenever you choose. This process is simple and there are no early repayment fees or penalties. 

To make a full repayment you only pay the outstanding credit amount, you do not need to repay any future interest or monitoring and maintenance fees. A partial early repayment will shorten the term of your subscription, but your fixed monthly fee would remain the same and you will not pay any future interest on the amount you have repaid.

It’s impossible to predict the future, but we know of several reasons why you may want to make an early repayment on your subscription in future, such as a life event which means you come into money, wanting to reduce or remove future interest charges, or to shorten the contract. Sunsave Plus gives you total flexibility to do this free of charge.

You may also decide to move home during your subscription period. If this happens, you can either make a full early repayment or transfer the subscription to the new owner. To learn about the process of moving home during a Sunsave Plus subscription, check out our guide. 

How early repayment works

Your fixed monthly Sunsave Plus payment covers repayment of the credit amount (which is the cost of the system and installation), interest on the credit amount, and a fixed monitoring and maintenance fee. 

When you make an early repayment, you reduce the credit amount outstanding. This lowers your future interest costs and shortens the term of your contract with Sunsave.

There are no charges whatsoever to make an early repayment and you can make as many as you want.

A partial early repayment is where you pay off some but not all of your outstanding credit balance. By making a partial repayment, your fixed monthly fees would stay the same but the term of your contract with Sunsave will be reduced. 

Any partial repayment you make would be deducted from the outstanding credit amount. This means you’d accrue interest on a smaller remaining balance, and pay less overall. 

If you want to end your Sunsave Plus contract, you can make a full early repayment by paying off the entire remaining credit balance. This means you will not pay any future interest or monitoring & maintenance fees that you would have incurred had your contract continued.

For example, if you were paying £69 per month then the total amount repayable on your subscription at the end of year 10 would be £8,280 (i.e. including interest and monitoring & maintenance). 

However, if you wanted to make a full early repayment, you’d just pay the remaining credit amount, which would be £5,697.

If you already have a quote for Sunsave Plus and you want to work out what a full early repayment would cost you at any point in your subscription term, take a look at the chart below. It shows you what percentage of your initial credit amount would remain after each year of your contract. 

The early repayment process for Sunsave Plus is very simple.

1) contact us either by phone or email to let us know how much of your credit balance you would like to pay off early and when you would like to make the payment.

2) we’ll provide you with an exact early repayment quote within three working days (daily interest accrual calculations can be a little fiddly!). 

3) you’ll then need to confirm your acceptance of the quote at least three working days before the date you want to make the payment. 

4) we’ll process the payment via direct debit on or shortly after the date you have nominated. 

As previously mentioned, there are no penalties or fees for early repayment. 

Early repayment and the Sunsave Guarantee

If you make an early repayment then the term of your Sunsave subscription will be reduced, and correspondingly so will your period of cover under the Sunsave Guarantee. This will decrease the overall amount that you pay for monitoring and maintenance.

If you contact us to make a partial repayment, we will let you know how this will reduce your monitoring and maintenance contract length. After full repayment you will no longer be covered by the Sunsave Guarantee. 

We are working on an option to extend the Sunsave Guarantee beyond the end of the Sunsave subscription, and hope to share more on this in the future. Stay tuned!

Sunsave Plus: a flexible way to go solar

👷 Sunsave has been built to last

🌞 You'll own your system throughout its lifespan

🛠️ Back-up providers would carry out maintenance if Sunsave was unable to

default

A solar & battery system is a significant investment, so it’s vital that it works reliably for years to come. That’s why, to give you total peace of mind, every Sunsave Plus subscription is covered by the Sunsave Guarantee. 

And we’ve put in place a resilient company structure to ensure that your system will have monitoring & maintenance support for the full subscription term, even in the unlikely event that Sunsave encounters issues in the future. Read on to find out more. 

Sunsave has been built to last

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. 

Our innovative product has attracted over £120 million of financial backing from leading venture capital funds like Norrsken, Clearance Capital, and Plug and Play (which backed Paypal, Google, and Airbnb), successful angel investors like former Asda chairman Lord Stuart Rose and ICAP founder Lord Michael Spencer, and global banking group Crédit Agricole.

On top of this, we’ve been awarded £2 million from the UK government’s Green Home Finance Accelerator (GHFA) to support the development and launch of our solar subscription. 

We’re FCA regulated and fully accredited

Sunsave is authorised and regulated as a lender by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which means our customers will always be protected and treated fairly. We’ve demonstrated to the FCA that our business practices are robust and sustainable, and we have an obligation to demonstrate a fair relationship between the cost of our product and the benefit it provides.

Our installation processes are of the highest quality, as evidenced by the fact we’ve secured every major accreditation in the solar industry. You can’t build for the future if you cut corners, and we haven’t.

Our accreditations include Flexi-Orb, the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS), Which? Trusted Trader, the Energy Performance Validation Scheme (EPVS), and the HIES Consumer Code. 

To find out more, check out the guide to our accreditations. 

Sunsave Plus might be new to the UK, but solar subscriptions have become very popular in other countries, such as the US, Germany, and Spain. Households in all of these countries are dealing with the same problems as we’re seeing in the UK; high energy bills and unaffordable solar. 

It’s no surprise, then, that the concept of switching to solar at no upfront cost has such global appeal. For example, Sunrun – the US-based solar subscription provider – announced in 2024 that they had over 950,000 customers.

We’re an experienced team with an outstanding track record

To make solar accessible for all, we need experience on our side. And that’s why we’ve hired a team of people who’ve built world-changing products at other companies. Our experts have decades of experience in the energy industry (SSE, Bulb, OVO) and in financial services (Monzo, Wise, Worldpay).

We’ve already installed more than 6,000 solar panels across England and Wales, using best-in-class kit and adhering to the highest installation standards. 

And you don’t just have to take our word for it: we have over 200 reviews across Trustpilot, Feefo and Which?, and a Trustpilot score of 4.7 out of 5. To learn more about what our customers think, check out our reviews page. 

Sunsave Plus has been built to last

We’ve put a lot of time and effort into building a resilient business that offers products for the long term, and we place our customers’ interests at the centre of everything we do.

That’s why, irrespective of what happens to Sunsave in the future, as a Sunsave Plus customer you’re protected in two key ways. 

1. You own your system. With Sunsave Plus, you own your system from the day it’s installed. This means, unlike some other solar products with roof leases, nobody can remove the system from your property or change the terms of your repayments without your consent. 

2. Your Sunsave Guarantee is protected. A big benefit of Sunsave Plus is the Sunsave Guarantee, because it ensures your system will produce clean, green electricity for years to come - and you'll remain protected by the Sunsave Guarantee for the duration of your subscription.

How is your Sunsave Guarantee protected?

We’ve put in place a resilient company structure which ensures your solar & battery system will have monitoring & maintenance support for the full subscription term.

In the unlikely event that our operating company encounters financial difficulty in the future, the reserves to pay for maintenance would be protected.  

This is because your maintenance contract is deliberately held in a dedicated company, Sunsave Holdings, which is ring-fenced - meaning the maintenance reserves are held in bank accounts that are separate from Sunsave UK, our main operating company. Sunsave Holdings then subcontracts Sunsave UK to carry out maintenance services. 

You can find more information about Sunsave UK and Sunsave Holdings on Companies House. 

Back-up providers would carry out maintenance if Sunsave was unable to

If Sunsave UK was to run into any trouble, Sunsave Holdings is still legally required to uphold its maintenance obligations to you under the Sunsave Guarantee.

We have appointed a back-up maintenance provider who would ensure the maintenance services continue, if needed. All cash collected under the maintenance agreements is stored in a ring-fenced bank account in Sunsave Holdings that can be accessed by the back-up maintenance provider. 

These reserves can only be used to carry out maintenance for Sunsave Plus customers in this scenario.

Summary

We’ve gone to great lengths to make Sunsave as resilient as possible and to give you total peace of mind with the Sunsave Guarantee.

If you’re considering the switch to solar but you’re not keen on the high upfront cost, our solar subscription could be right for you. To sign up for Sunsave Plus, answer a few quick questions below and one of our solar experts will be in touch. 

Learn about the steps we've taken to ensure that Sunsave is built to last, and why you can rely on the Sunsave Guarantee.

Why you can rely on the Sunsave Guarantee

🔒 The Sunsave Guarantee will protect your solar & battery system for 20 years

🔍 We’ll keep an eye on your system 24/7

🔋 You’ll get a free battery upgrade

📃 Standard product and workmanship warranties are insufficient

🛡️ Your system will be insured by Aviva

As well as offering the UK’s very first solar subscription, Sunsave Plus, we also provide the first 20-year aftercare and support package: the Sunsave Guarantee.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Sunsave Guarantee, including what it covers, why it matters, and the headaches it could save you in the long term.

Why did we create the Sunsave Guarantee?

A solar & battery system is a big investment; it’s fair to expect it to work. That’s why we created the Sunsave Guarantee, to give UK households certainty they will get the best out of their system for their full subscription term.

The energy crisis triggered a huge spike in demand for solar, and the number of solar panel installers in the UK has grown to a record high, totalling more than 2,600.

If someone in the UK wants solar, they have a staggering amount of choice when it comes to picking an installer. 

However, despite the high number of businesses willing to put solar panels on people’s roofs, few of them offer any kind of maintenance, support, or aftercare.

This is a mismatch, given the high cost of a solar & battery system, and the importance of it lasting a long time. 

Some technical experts in the industry estimate that a solar & battery system in the UK will need three maintenance call-outs across a 20-year period – one for the panels, one for the battery, and one for the inverter.

Around 94% of new solar panel installations in the UK include a battery, according to data from Flexi-Orb and EPVS, and a battery usually needs replacing after about 10-12 years – well before the end of a solar panel system’s expected lifetime. 

Unfortunately, finding an installer to replace your battery can be a lot of hassle – and it's certainly not cheap.

A 2021 study by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) found that 55% of people in the UK who don’t want (or aren’t sure about) solar panels reported maintenance concerns as a key reason, and 40% said that a guarantee scheme would allay these concerns.

The value of maintenance support isn't just being there when we're needed; it's also our customers knowing that we'll be there. 

What is the Sunsave Guarantee?

The Sunsave Guarantee ensures that your solar & battery system will remain in superb condition throughout the 20-year subscription term of Sunsave Plus.

This means that once installed, you can rest assured that you’ll have a consistent supply of clean, green electricity.

All of our installations are performed to the highest standards using best-in-class kit, but the Sunsave Guarantee is there as a backup for total peace of mind.

If anything stops working or drops below an acceptable level of performance, we’ll be there to fix it. 

Part of your fixed monthly fee for Sunsave Plus pays for the Sunsave Guarantee.

30-year performance warranty on the solar panels

Free battery upgrade – we’ll upgrade your battery as soon as it drops below 70% of its original capacity, which typically happens after 10-12 years

24/7 monitoring of the solar & battery system, including alerting you if something isn’t working

Insurance – your system will be insured by Aviva against damage, fire, and theft

Downtime protection – we’ll compensate you for any extended period of time that your system isn’t working as it should

<center><em>We'll look after your solar & battery system for 20 years</em></center>

There are three key parts to the Sunsave Guarantee: monitoring & maintenance, replacement parts, and insurance & downtime protection.

Here’s a bit more detail on each of them:

It’s important to keep an eye on your system to ensure it’s always working properly.

However, you may not always have the time, and it can be tricky to know the signs of an underperforming system unless you’re an expert.

That’s why we keep track of your panels & battery for you 24/7 using our remote monitoring platform. This means we’ll be able to spot any problems, let you know, and take the necessary actions to fix them.

If we do spot a problem, we may need a bit of extra information, such as photos and documents. A large number of solar system issues can be solved remotely, and we'll always attempt to do this first.

If we’re not able to fix it remotely, a Sunsave engineer will visit your property within two weeks, and often much sooner.

We would generally only need to send someone to site to carry out major electrical and roofing works, such as replacing a damaged panel or broken inverter.

This work would be very expensive if you were paying for it yourself – not to mention the replacement kit, which can cost thousands, and scaffolding (if necessary), which can add thousands more.

We do charge a call-out fee of £100, up to a maximum of £200 each year, plus VAT. That means even if you need multiple call-outs in one year, your costs will be capped.

This can be thought of a bit like an 'excess' on an insurance policy, as it's only a small fraction of the cost of this work – and we won't charge you anything for call-outs in the first two years that are found to be as a result of our workmanship.

The Sunsave Guarantee is a promise that your system will keep working properly throughout the 20-year subscription period, which means that if something goes wrong, we’ll sort it – whether that means fixing the system, or completely replacing a part of it. 

The process is a bit different depending on whether the underperforming part of your system is still within warranty. 

If your panels, battery or inverter stop working before the end of their warranty, we’ll take care of submitting any claims to the manufacturer, and we’ll install any replacement hardware needed.

Once your battery is out of warranty and performing at less than 70% of its original capacity (usually after 10-12 years), we’ll upgrade it for free.

Your Sunsave Plus system will be insured by Aviva against damage from theft, vandalism, natural catastrophe, and fire.

For instance, if there was a storm and some debris damaged your panels, you’d be fully covered.

Alongside the insurance, we also provide downtime cover – so if your system isn’t working for any extended period of time, we’ll credit your monthly payments while we work to get it back to full health.

Every Sunsave Plus subscription is covered by the Sunsave Guarantee, which lasts for the full 20-year term.

You can make a full early repayment without any penalties or fees, but doing so will mean you’re no longer protected by the Sunsave Guarantee. To learn more about flexible payments with Sunsave Plus, click here.

The Sunsave Guarantee vs standard warranties

The workmanship and product warranties you’ll receive with a standard solar installation are insufficient when it comes to protecting your system over the long term.

As you can see below, the Sunsave Guarantee covers your entire system for 20 years, and includes remote monitoring, insurance, and downtime cover – which standard warranties don’t.

You will also get free replacement parts with the Sunsave Guarantee, even if your battery or inverter aren’t under warranty.

How often does a solar & battery system need maintenance?

As mentioned previously, some technical experts in the industry estimate that a solar & battery system in the UK will require three maintenance call-outs across a 20-year period – one for the panels, one for the battery, and one for the inverter.

Here’s a bit more detail about each component.

Solar panels are sturdy objects with no moving parts, which means in an ideal world you can have them installed and never think about them again (known as ‘fit and forget’). 

However, as with any complex equipment, problems can still happen. 

In a survey of solar panel owners conducted by Which? in October 2022, people reported several issues with their systems.

These included electrical difficulties, generation meters breaking, panels producing less or no electricity, weak electrical connections, cracked/broken glass on panels, and isolator issues.

Some of the things that can cause a solar panel system to malfunction include:

Improper installation – dodgy connections will lead to problems further down the line 

Low quality hardware – if the kit isn’t up to scratch, it can deteriorate pretty quickly

Birds – they can nest under solar panels and damage wiring

Falling branches and other debris – this can cause small cracks in the glass that eventually lead to mechanical failures 

Sea air – the salt blown onto solar panels by the sea can slowly degrade the hardware

Shading – when parts of solar panels are shaded for a long period of time, it can create ‘hot spots’ which reduce output

With Sunsave’s top-quality kit and professional installation, solar panel issues are unlikely, but sometimes things do go wrong – and the Sunsave Guarantee is there for total peace of mind.

Solar batteries are significantly less sturdy than solar panels, and consequently have a much shorter lifespan. 

Whenever you charge and then discharge a solar battery, this is referred to as a ‘cycle’, and a battery can only take so many cycles. That’s why most solar battery warranties are expressed in two different ways: cycles, and years. 

Batteries help you save money and are there to be used, so there’s no point avoiding the cycles. You just need to take other sensible measures to ensure your battery performs well for as long as possible, such as keeping the area around it ventilated and cool. 

Your solar battery’s capacity will have substantially declined after 10 to 12 years, to the extent that it’ll need replacing if you’re going to continue getting the best out of your system.

Once your battery is operating at less than 70% of its original capacity, this will be automatically flagged by our monitoring platform and we’ll provide a free upgrade.

To learn more, check out our guide to solar battery lifespan.

In the same Which? survey, the most common issue reported by solar panel owners was a malfunctioning inverter, with more than 10% reporting this as an issue.

Similarly, a study in 2019 by risk management experts Det Norske Veritas (DNV) found that one half of inverters fail by year 14, as shown in the chart below.

Any solar system depends completely on the health of the inverter, as this is the machine that ensures all the electricity is actually usable (and can be exported to the grid). 

However, if your inverter is not working and is preventing your solar panels from achieving at least 80% of their original output capacity, we’ll install a new one for free.

What’s not included?

The Sunsave Guarantee does not include replacement bird protection or solar panel cleaning services.

If you opt to have bird protection added to your Sunsave Plus system at the point of install, this should last the system’s lifetime – and any damage that birds cause to your solar panels is covered by the insurance policy.

And in the case of solar panel cleaning, this is rarely required because panels are ‘self-cleaning’ – particularly in the UK.

That’s because they’re treated with a special hydrophobic coating, which means water droplets just roll straight off them. Once solar panels are installed at an angle, any rainfall just runs down the solar panels and cleans them in the process. 

They still benefit from a clean every two to three years in the UK, which you can do from ground level with an extendable brush.

Alternatively, it shouldn’t cost more than around £100 to have someone come over and clean your solar panel system, and many window cleaners offer this service. 

If your solar panels are on your roof you should be careful about doing the cleaning yourself. Unless you have an extendable, soft brush that you can use whilst standing on the ground, it is recommended that you get a professional to clean your solar panels.

Next steps

Having a solar & battery system should be a stress-free experience, and that’s exactly what the Sunsave Guarantee has been designed to provide.

With Sunsave Plus, you can switch to solar and enjoy a reliable source of clean, green electricity for the next 20 years.

💷 You could also sell the system with your home

📈 Solar could increase the value of your home

“What happens if I move home during my Sunsave Plus subscription?” is a question we get asked a lot, but luckily there’s a simple answer. 

We know that you might not be in your current home for 20 years. And even if you’re planning to be, life might throw something at you that means you need to move. This is why we built Sunsave Plus to be as flexible as possible, especially when it comes to moving home.

In this article, we’ll explain why you shouldn’t worry about moving home during your Sunsave subscription and what your options are if you need to move.

Solar makes your home more attractive

Solar panels have become extremely hot property - energy bills remain a huge expense for UK households, people are much more conscious of their impact on climate change, solar technology is widely accepted, and the panels look fantastic. 

A 2023 survey of more than 2,000 UK homeowners conducted by The Eco Experts found that 69% of people are either ‘likely’ or ‘very likely’ to buy or rent a property with solar panels. In contrast, only 4% of people said they would be ‘very unlikely’ to do this.

What’s more, your Sunsave Plus subscription has additional appeal because of the Sunsave Guarantee, which means free replacement parts, 24/7 monitoring of system performance, and downtime cover. Your system will also be insured by Aviva against damage, fire, and theft.

Given that electricity prices are forecast to continue rising and the UK’s electricity consumption is expected to increase as heat pumps and EVs become mainstream, it’s extremely likely that the popularity of solar panels will continue to grow. 

By increasing the appeal of your property, solar could also boost its value.  

For the average home, solar panels increase the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating by at least one grade, and homes with a higher EPC rating tend to sell for more. For instance, in research from 2023, Rightmove found that increasing a property’s EPC from a D to C lifts its value by 3% (or £11,157), on average.

We’re here to help, but you’re in control

Moving home is already stressful enough, so we’ve made the process of moving home during your Sunsave Plus subscription as simple as possible. You’ll be guided by a dedicated customer service manager who'll make sure you have everything you need and that the process goes smoothly.
