About myenergi

myenergi is a British designer and manufacturer of eco-smart home energy technologies. Founded in October 2016 by Lee Sutton and Jordan Brompton, the company originated from a conversation about the lack of products to charge electric vehicles (EVs) using home solar panels. Sutton, an electrical engineer with experience in renewable energy tech companies, provided the technical expertise, while Brompton brought a background in sustainability networking and marketing to build the brand.

The company's core business is developing and producing a range of products that create an integrated system for homeowners to monitor and maximize their use of self-generated renewable energy, primarily from solar or wind. This serves residential customers who have, or are considering, renewable energy installations and EV ownership. Their business model centers on the sale of these physical products, which are designed and manufactured in the UK. Since its founding, myenergi has expanded internationally, opening subsidiaries in Germany, Ireland, Australia, and the Netherlands.

myenergi’s flagship product is the zappi, the world’s first solar and wind compatible EV charger. Other key products in their ecosystem include: eddi, a smart power diverter that redirects surplus self-generated energy to heating systems; harvi, an energy-harvesting wireless sensor that simplifies installation by eliminating the need for wired connections; and libbi, a modular home battery storage system to store excess solar electricity. The products are designed to work together, managed via the myenergi app, to reduce reliance on the grid and lower energy bills.

Starting with their life savings, the founders secured an early £1.2 million investment from notable figures including Sir Terry Leahy. As of October 2023, the company had raised a total of £30 million in a Series C round from Energy Impact Partners (EIP), which followed a £30 million debt financing deal from HSBC UK earlier the same year. The founders remained majority shareholders as of October 2023. The company has grown from a team of two to over 400 employees and has shipped over 500,000 products worldwide.
