Soly

The utility of the future is here

Soly is an international Clean Energy Tech company on a mission to make solar energy available to everyone.

The company was founded in the summer of 2013 by brothers Milan and Patrick van der Meulen. The brothers were inspired at a young age by Al Gore’s documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” and have since decided to use their entrepreneurship ‘As a force for good’.

The company is today one of the European market leaders in the field of decentralized energy generation and storage through solar panels, batteries and charging stations. Soly focuses on the residential and business markets and is active in 6 countries.

Soly is an impact driven company and since 2018 B Corp certified. B Corp is an international label for companies that strive for the highest standards of sustainability, financial transparency, and social justice.

We only have one mission: to make solar energy accessible to all. By letting you produce, store and drive solar energy we cut you loose from the fossil world. With our energy management solution we connect all the dots to make you as independent as possible. We already have more than 35.000 satisfied customers across 6 countries. And we have only just begun.

It all starts with solar. Solar panels are the most vital part of your new energy household. That is why we never compromise on design and quality. Resulting in a solar system you can be proud and confident of.

Harnessing the power of the sun, our batteries store clean and renewable energy, allowing households to become more self-reliant and environmentally conscious, whilst actively balancing the grid.

Our EV chargers are the backbone of electric mobility, providing the essential infrastructure to power electric cars. We offer convenience, ensuring that the vehicles are always charged with the cheapest energy prices.

Our dynamic energy contracts encourages our users to consume energy when it’s the greenest and cheapest. This not only reduces individual utility costs but also helps alleviate strain on the energy grid during peak hours.

Acting as a smart and intuitive controller for household energy consumption, the Soly Brains monitors, analyses, and optimizes energy usage, making our users more self-sufficient whilst increasing their savings.

By bundling all our assets into our Virtual Power Plant we are able to help grid operators actively balancing the grid and let our users be compensated for that. That is the role of the utility of the future.

Being a market leader with 35.000 customers in 6 countries internationally, we have a trackrecord of scalability and rapid growth.

Everything evolves around the award-winning Soly Platform. Enabling fully self-serviced based processes. Both for the customers and the installer.

Using business as a force for good. That’s what drives us. We are proud on our B Corp certification going all the way back to 2018.

With that goal in mind we have built the Soly Platform from scratch. It ignited a self-service-based customer journey wherein the end-user produces his/her own personalized quote in just 60 seconds. From that point on the Soly mobile app takes over and the customer can self-schedule the installation after the matchmaking with our installers. All leading to ultimate efficiency and customer experience.

As a B-Corp we are doing everything within our powers to deliver a positive contribution to the world, climate and environment. We call it: Business as a force for good. B-Corp is more then just a certificate. It’s our everyday practices that make a difference. We take extra steps for the environment, social equity, our employees and are transparent in our policies. This is what made us a B-Corp for several years now. Besides our actions, we use our voice. Leading to the launch of a ground-breaking climate petition at the famous Sziget festival in 2019.
