The Canopy platform
Behind every install is a single platform we built ourselves
When you work with us, your design, your conversations with our team, your install, and the years that follow all run on one piece of technology. We call it Canopy.
It's how we deliver tailored designs in minutes and installs that go smoothly from sign-off to switch-on. The platform does the heavy lifting. Our team is there at every step to make sure things go right.
Here's what's inside it.
What Canopy does
Canopy pulls together your property data, your energy use, live equipment pricing and what we know about your roof. It uses all of that to design the system that fits your home, make sure it's installed smoothly and help you get the most out of it for years to come.
Four parts work together across your journey with us:
Solar Simulator, which designs your system to give confidence
SalesLink, to make your sales journey easy and enjoyable
OpsLink, to ensure a smooth, efficient installation
EnergyCare, which looks after your system once it's in
Solar Simulator
A bespoke design, in minutes
Most solar quotes start with a salesperson and a rough estimate. Ours starts with data driven design.
Put your postcode in and Solar Simulator pulls in your home's data, your energy usage, and live equipment pricing across the major brands. It designs a system that fits your roof, your usage and your goals: maximum savings, fastest payback, or a battery sized for an EV.
The result is a bespoke design with an honest price. No ballpark figures or over-egged savings.
SalesLink
A real conversation, with someone who knows your home
When you book a call, our advisors are working from your live design, not a script.
SalesLink puts everything in one place: your simulation, your data, live pricing. Want to swap a panel? Add an EV charger? Size the battery up? Your advisor can model it on the call and send you a fully-costed proposal before you've hung up.
We call them our Green Gurus, not salespeople. They give you a straight answer, including telling you not to buy if solar doesn't make sense for your home.
OpsLink
Your install, run end to end
Once you've signed off your design, OpsLink handles the admin: DNO applications, install scheduling, kit ordering, and tracking every milestone through to MCS certification.
Our installation team works alongside the platform, coordinating with our vetted installers and staying in touch with you throughout. Because we own the whole process, if anything needs sorting, we can sort it quickly and efficiently.
EnergyCare
A system that keeps getting smarter
Switching on your system isn't the end. EnergyCare is the part of Canopy that carries on working after your install. It:
Manages your battery so it charges when electricity is cheap and discharges when it's expensive (this is genuine AI, run with a specialist optimisation partner).
Helps spot opportunities to add to your system later, like a bigger battery or an EV charger when you're ready, based on granular system data.
Runs Switchd's solar tariff analysis to make sure you're always on the best deal for solar households.
Our solar experts are also on hand whenever you have a question, whether that's a year after install or ten.
Why we built it this way
We wanted to grow the business without compromising on smooth installs or bespoke design.
That combination is hard. Most installers face a trade-off: stay small and offer something tailored, or grow and start handing customers cookie-cutter systems they didn't really need.
Canopy lets us avoid that trade-off. Solar Simulator does the tailored design. OpsLink runs the operational side that delivers it. And our team works alongside both, making sure every install is the right one for the customer.
