    Founder & CEO S☉LY

    🔆 Is it a scary idea or a smart move? 📌 Thanks, De Telegraaf, for sharing the news about the most recent developments in the Dutch solar energy industry. The energy grid is witnessing more and more electricity traffic jams by the 3 million homes with solar. On sunny days, these solar installations are feeding energy back to the grid at times of low energy consumption, creating congestion. Combining energy production with storage in batteries and electric vehicles is fundamental to addressing this next challenge in the energy transition. But how do you know when to charge or discharge? Last week, Soly made a significant announcement. The company is set to open its AI-driven Soly Brain® to all 3 million homes and solar installers in The Netherlands. This move is aimed at effectively balancing energy production and consumption, thereby reducing feed-in penalties for homeowners. #EnergyTransition #ClimateTech #EnergyTech #News #Solar #EnergyManagement #DynamicEnergy

    Country Manager @ Soly UK

    I've agreed with Patrick van der Meulen that we won’t speak until Thursday 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽🇳🇱 …Regardless of tomorrow's result, one thing that’s definitely coming home this summer is Solar Energy! Scotland and Wales are guaranteed winners too thanks to the incredible team at Soly! 🇬🇧☀️⚡️ 📈 I’m incredibly proud of our UK team for delivering +108% growth vs Q1. This exceptional performance is the result of the team's dedication to a unique customer-centric approach and a seamless digital journey. We’re passionate about ensuring customers score the best solution for their individual needs…and it’s working! 🤝 This success wouldn’t be possible without our strong industry partnerships. Together, we are advancing the adoption of clean energy and significantly impacting the UK’s overall energy landscape. 🌍 The recent election results have created excitement and optimism within the UK solar industry. Solar Energy UK notes that Labour's first year will be crucial for the solar and energy storage sectors; the new government has pledged to work closely with the private sector to triple solar power by 2030 and reduce lengthy delays for grid connections. These initiatives are projected to unlock significant investment, create green jobs, and produce cheaper, zero-carbon electricity. 🚀 As we continue to grow and innovate, we at Soly remain determined and excited about the opportunities ahead. Our goals in the UK remain clear: We want to help everyone in the UK access renewable energy and save on their energy bills. We can provide high-quality products at excellent prices with outstanding customer service. We WILL help the UK achieve Net Zero. Let’s go Soly! ☀️⚡
