FAQs
Why Gryd?
Gryd makes it easy for developers to avoid the rising build cost associated with tightening sustainability regulations. We do this by funding, operating and maintaining smart solar and battery systems on new homes. We remove the upfront cost and complexity, so you can build more desirable and affordable homes.
Gryd makes it easy for developers to meet increasing sustainability regulations by funding, operating and maintaining rooftop solar + battery systems for new homes. Homeowners access the benefits via a simple subscription, without paying a premium when buying the home, and developers avoid upfront capital expenditure.
Who pays for what?
- Gryd funds all hardware (solar panels, batteries, inverters).
- You cover installation cost, using your preferred contractor or one of Gryd’s partners.
- Homeowners pay a fixed monthly subscription—no upfront cost, no ownership hassle.
What’s it like working with Gryd?
It starts with a site assessment. We evaluate your site and propose an optimal system for each home. From there, we work with you to confirm the design and the timeline for installation. Once approved, we fund all the hardware and ensure it is delivered to your site when it’s needed for you to install. While you market and sell the homes, Gryd provides hands-on support and marketing materials to help explain the benefits to buyers and accelerate sales.
What benefits do homeowners get?
Buyers enjoy the benefits of solar energy without the upfront investment or burden of ownership. They receive access to every kilowatt-hour of energy generated for fixed-price subscription that delivers substantial savings from day one while shielding them from rising energy prices over the long term.
They also get 24/7 monitoring, regular servicing and ongoing maintenance which includes a battery and inverter replacement under Gryd’s 25-year guarantee.
How does it affect home sales?
A Gryd system isn’t designed to meet the regulatory requirements, it exceeds them, improving EPC and carbon efficiency ratings beyond what would have otherwise been achieved. This gives a real point of differentiation over similar homes for sale in the area and has proven to accelerate sales velocity. With the hardware provided at zero cost, you have more flexibility to add other desirable features or set more affordable sales prices.
What’s are the savings for developers?
Because we fund all the solar hardware, you save up to £10,000 per home. This removes a major capital hurdle, especially when building at scale, and allows you to offer future-proofed homes without squeezing your margins. It also strengthens your planning position and helps meet regulatory requirements without compromising on financial performance.
When should we engage with Gryd?
The best time to involve Gryd is early in the development process but we can get involved all the way up to shell completion. This ensures that solar and battery systems can be seamlessly integrated into the design and build programme without causing delays or retrofitting issues.
Who maintains the system?
Gryd provides full lifecycle support, including 24/7 monitoring, performance optimisation, insurance, and all necessary replacements over a 25-year term. If a battery or inverter needs to be replaced, Gryd handles it, ensuring peace of mind for both you and the homeowner.
Who owns the system?
Gryd owns, operates and maintains the system over its 25-year life under our simple Rooftop Solar Lease arrangement. This clearly sets out our responsibilities to keep the system operating at peak performance and delivering the maximum benefit to homeowners.
What is Gryd and how does it work in my new home?
Gryd provides and maintains the smart rooftop solar panels and battery storage for your home, without the need for you to buy or own the system outright. Instead, you get access to clean, low-cost solar energy through a simple monthly subscription. The system is already installed when you move in, so you start saving on your energy bills from day one, without any upfront costs.
How much does the subscription cost?
The subscription will depend on the size of your home, the number of panels and amount of battery storage. A typical 3 bedroom home can expect a subscription of around £70 per month, fixed for 25 years. That means no price rises due to inflation or energy market spikes, just predictable, stable energy costs year after year.
What do I get as part of the subscription?
You get access to every kilowatt-hour of energy generated by the system on your home, along with 24/7 remote monitoring, ongoing maintenance, insurance, and intelligent optimisation. Gryd also covers any necessary repairs or equipment replacements for 25 years. Everything is included in your monthly fee, with no hidden costs.
How much will I save on my energy bills?
Most homeowners see immediate net savings of around 20% compared to buying electricity from a traditional energy provider. Over the lifetime of the system, the savings can add up to over £40,000, depending on your usage. In the first year alone, a typical 3 bed home could expect to save around £360.
Do I still need a regular energy supplier?
Yes — but you’ll need much less energy from the grid. The Gryd system typically covers over 70% of your home’s electricity needs over the year, so your standard energy bill is significantly reduced. Gryd works alongside your chosen supplier to maximise your savings. The amount of energy provided by the Gryd system will vary with the seasons. You can expect to have little to no bill from your traditional retailer in the summer months and slightly higher in the winter when there’s less consistent sunshine.
Who will my regular energy supplier be?
That’s completely up to you, you are free to choose which energy supplier you would like to provide any remaining electricity that can’t be supplied by the system. Gryd may let you know about tariffs we think could help you boost your savings even more and help you switch if you wanted to.
What happens if energy prices rise?
Your Gryd subscription is completely fixed, so rising energy prices won’t affect your monthly subscription. This gives you protection and peace of mind, especially in today’s unpredictable energy market. The energy you get from the grid is subject to the changes in energy price, that’s why we help make sure you’re getting as much of your energy from the solar system as possible.
What if I want to own and manage the system myself?
Absolutely! You can choose to own the system if it makes sense for you. If you plan to stay in your home for more than 10 years, buying the solar and battery system might be a smart investment. With Gryd, ownership is always optional and you’re never locked in. You can take ownership at any time, even on day one, for less than the cost of a traditional retrofit on day one. Plus, the price to buy the system decreases over time. So if you’re unsure about your long-term plans when you move in, you can wait and decide later—while still enjoying lower bills and cleaner energy from day one.
What if I sell my home?
If you move, the Gryd subscription transfers easily to the next owner. There’s no disruption to their energy supply, and they’ll continue enjoying the same low-cost benefits. You just need to let us know when you decide to sell your home. The new owner will also have the same option to take ownership of the system if they want to.
Is the system reliable and safe?
Absolutely. Gryd uses best-in-class solar and battery technology, installed by MCS certified professionals and backed by a 25-year performance guarantee. Your system is constantly monitored and fully insured. If anything goes wrong, it’s Gryd’s responsibility to fix it.
How do I manage or track the system?
Gryd will monitor the system 24/7 to make sure everything is at peak performance. You’ll get access to our online portal where you can see how much energy your home is generating, using, and storing, as well as the savings you’ve made. It’s all designed to be simple, transparent, and hands-off unless you want to dive into the details.
Why is a solar lease better than owning solar myself?
With Gryd, there’s no upfront cost, no loan, no need to arrange your own installation, and no worries about long-term maintenance. You get all the benefits of solar—lower bills, clean energy, and a more sustainable home, without the hassle of ownership.
It gives you the ultimate flexibility to benefit from solar and storage without the complexity of figuring out if it’s a worthwhile return on investment, or if the payback period lines up with your living situation. And if your circumstances change such that it makes sense, you always have the option to own.
