Revenue model

1. Homeowner Solar Subscriptions: Gryd generates recurring subscription revenue from homeowners who pay a fixed monthly fee for access to solar-generated electricity. The subscription is fixed for 25 years, inflation-proof, and includes maintenance, insurance, and monitoring. Homeowners can choose to buy out the system at any time.
2. Developer Installation Fees: Developers cover the installation cost using their preferred contractor or one of Gryd's partners. This is a one-time revenue stream separate from the hardware funding that Gryd provides.

Core offering

GRYD Energy funds, installs, and maintains rooftop solar panel and battery storage systems on new-build residential homes at zero upfront cost to property developers. Homeowners pay a fixed monthly subscription (approximately £70-£74/month for a typical 3-bed home) fixed for 25 years and inflation-proof, with a 25-year guarantee covering maintenance, insurance, monitoring, and replacements, and an option to buy out the system at any time. Developers achieve Future Homes Standard compliance, EPC A ratings, and up to £10,000 per home in build cost savings without hardware CAPEX.

Product overview

GRYD Energy offers Gryd — a UK-first zero-CAPEX solar subscription service for new-build developers and homeowners. The core offering combines solar panels, battery storage, and a hybrid inverter (the Gryd system) funded and maintained by Gryd under a 25-year rooftop lease arrangement. Developers receive zero-cost solar and battery systems; homeowners pay a fixed monthly subscription with immediate energy savings and have the option to buy out at any time. The offering also includes integration with Air Source Heat Pumps and EV chargers as recommended enhancers.

Partnerships

Five partnerships are on record, tiered supporting and core.

• ShoosmithssupportingStrategic or Co-development Partner · 24 October 2025Shoosmiths, a UK law firm, co-hosted a private industry briefing with Gryd in October focused on the Future Homes Standard and implications for low-carbon, all-electric new-build homes in the UK.
• Good EnergycoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerGryd signed a deal with Good Energy to support its solar subscription model. Good Energy is a UK renewable energy supplier that provides grid electricity to homes where solar generation is insufficient. This partnership enables the subscription model to work seamlessly alongside traditional energy supply.
• Array ElectricssupportingImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerMCS-certified electrical contractor that installed solar and battery systems at the Lower Farm Mews development in Norfolk. Worked with Gryd to redesign system specification and plan delivery around existing construction schedule.
• BK DevelopmentscoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerProperty developer that partnered with Gryd on the first UK pilot project - a barn conversion in St. Ives, Cornwall. BK Developments runs Build-to-Rent properties and subscribed to Gryd's solar service at £50/month per unit, recovered from tenants. This was Gryd's first project, validating the model with real-world data.
• Zero In DevelopmentscoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerEast Anglia property developer (Zero In Developments, ZID) that partnered with Gryd on the Lower Farm Mews 9-home Norfolk development. Gryd delivered ~£100,000 of fully-funded solar and battery hardware at zero cost. ZID co-founders Sam Fryer and Jed Jordan provided testimonials on the partnership.

Direct peers

• Octopus Energy: UK-based energy retailer that has launched 'Zero Bill Homes' bundling solar, battery, and heat pumps for new-build developers with no upfront cost. Most direct UK peer given overlapping zero-CAPEX developer proposition, subscription-like tariffs, and AI-led optimization.
• Sunrun: US residential solar subscription/lease pioneer — directly analogous business model of funded rooftop solar sold to homeowners on a fixed monthly subscription with maintenance and insurance included. Closest international archetype for Gryd's SPV-funded lease structure.
• SunPower: US residential solar company offering owned, financed, and leased solar systems including new-construction offerings for builders. Comparable in product (rooftop solar + battery + monitoring) and developer-channel go-to-market.
• Good Energy: UK renewable energy supplier already partnered with Gryd for grid top-up supply; also offers residential solar directly. Highly relevant comparable given the existing commercial relationship and shared customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Tesla Energy: Sells Powerwall subscriptions and Solar Roof to homeowners with bundled hardware, software, and monitoring. Competes for the same homeowner value proposition (clean energy without ownership burden) at much larger scale and brand recognition.
• EDF Energy: Major UK energy supplier with residential solar and storage offerings, including new-build developer propositions. Larger and more diversified, but operates in the same UK zero-CAPEX solar-for-developers category.
• E.ON UK: Large UK energy retailer offering solar PV, battery storage, and EV chargers for residential customers including new-build developers. Overlapping product category with broader portfolio and balance-sheet backing.
• British Gas (Centrica): UK's largest energy supplier with residential solar and battery offerings and active new-build developer partnerships. Broad incumbent with comparable end-product, though not specializing in zero-CAPEX subscriptions.

Emerging players

• PassivSystems: UK energy management and optimization platform focused on low-carbon homes, providing monitoring and AI-driven optimization. Comparable in the AI-energy-management layer but focused on retrofits rather than new-build subscription financing.

Regional players

• Lightsource Homes: UK arm of Lightsource bp, developing residential solar and storage propositions for new-build housing. Comparable developer-facing solar offering at utility-scale balance sheet; operates primarily in the UK, focused on direct developer relationships.
