UrbanVolt is a leading provider of affordable, clean solar energy in the UK. We remove the barriers to sustainability by offering Solar as a Service solutions, allowing businesses to benefit from renewable energy without upfront investment. Our innovative model has helped UK companies cut energy costs and reduce carbon emissions.
Founded in 2015, with the idea of making sustainability simple, UrbanVolt has grown rapidly, becoming the UK’s trusted partner in clean energy solutions. We’re proud to support businesses in reducing their carbon footprint and cutting their energy bills.
UrbanVolt developed their Light as a Service (LaaS®) offering and has successfully completed installations for clients across 9 countries including the UK, USA & Germany. Following the success of LaaS and in response to growing demand from the market, UrbanVolt entered the commercial and industrial rooftop solar business through the introduction of its Solar as a Service (SOLaaS®) offering in early 2021. UrbanVolt is the largest solar as a service provider to SMEs with over 400 Irish & UK customers.
To date, UrbanVolt has raised over €200m in financing to help decarbonise businesses by removing the need for businesses to invest their own capital in non-core energy assets. Initially supported by the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF), UrbanVolt achieved a significant milestone in 2023 by welcoming Verdane as a strategic partner, marking a pivotal moment in our journey towards growth and Innovation. Verdane is one of Europe’s leading growth equity firms and their commitment to sustainable investing aligns closely with UrbanVolt’s values, making them an ideal partner to support our mission of reshaping the commercial energy landscape.
By turning sustainability into a service, UrbanVolt makes it easy for the world’s biggest brands to rapidly reduce their carbon footprint.
