What kind of home do you live in?
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered with Hive, a leader in advanced eco-tech solutions designed to reduce energy bills and emissions. Together, we aim to create smarter, greener, and more cost-effective homes for everyone.
As part of this collaboration, Hive, a subsidiary of Centrica, will promote our offerings – including Sunsave Plus, the UK’s first subscription service – to its customer base.
Households that sign up will get a free Hive Hub and Smart Bridge alongside their Sunsave Plus solar & battery system, as well as a free two-year Hive Plus subscription. This will all help our customers make the most of their solar installation.
You’ll also be able to sign up for the British Gas EV Power tariff with Hive Solar Saver, an exclusive add-on.
This provides you with an off-peak rate of 7.9p per kWh from 12am to 5am, allowing you to fill your battery with cheap electricity, then use it for the rest of the day – and with Hive Solar Saver, you’ll get up to 25% off the cost of any electricity you use outside of off-peak times.*
You’ll be able to help cut your electricity bills and shrink your carbon footprint all at the same time, thanks to this generous tariff and Hive’s pioneering technology.

More about the partnership
Dan Rosenfield, Managing Director of Hive, commented: “We are committed to making the transition to net zero simple and affordable. Through our partnership with Sunsave and the launch of our new solar subscription, we’re able to break down the financial barriers that many face with solar and battery ownership.
“Paired with our market leading Hive app, our customers will have more control of their energy usage and be able to see easily what they are generating and storing while saving money and cutting carbon in the process. This is all part of our ambition to energise a greener, fairer future.”
Ben Graves, Co-Founder of Sunsave, added: “Our mission has always been to make solar power accessible to all, and by reducing the financial barriers our solar subscription Sunsave Plus has already helped many to go green.
