We need more great people to join our great people…

15 years ago we had a vision.

We saw the precarious state of the UK’s energy security and believed that, in time, solar energy would have to be an essential part of the country’s home produced energy mix. This has come to pass.

We started Mypower as three individuals with a long term plan to build one of the best solar panel companies in the country. 

In those 15 years we have seen booms and we have seen busts. Subsidies have been and gone. It's been one hell of a ride.

We’ve won awards. Lots of awards. We’ve been on TV and in newspapers all over Europe. Most of our business comes from previous customers. We’re good at this.

We’re a profitable, debt free business owned by shareholders who take the long view. We also have great coffee.

Solar is now the cheapest and quickest way for any business to produce its own electricity. Our business has doubled and doubled again in the past four years and we see many years of sustainable growth ahead. The future is very bright.

But our brilliant team can’t do it all on their own.

We need more people who share our excitement for the future for solar in this country and who can
identify with our culture which is all about Quality, Safety & Honesty.

We have a new position available. We’d prefer previous solar experience but in this fledgling industry, we understand that you probably won’t have it. You will have an uber positive and flexible attitude and a desire to do the very best for our customers.
