About

Building Gryd. VC-backed energy startup on a mission to scale solar subscriptions. We fund solar and battery on new-build homes so developers & buyers never have to pay for the hardware. Zero hardware cost. Zero maintenance. 25-year managed service. The Future Homes Standard means solar is becoming mandatory. Most developers aren't ready for the cost. Gryd handles everything - funding, deployment, operation & maintenance - for the lifetime of the system. Ex-civil engineer. Designed and managed infrastructure on large-scale UK and international developments before starting Gryd. Deploying across UK developments now. If you’re a developer looking to navigate Part L & Future Homes Standard without the cost, let’s talk.
