Switchd's proprietary technology model allows users to select the best energy solutions to power their homes. The company argues that more than 60 suppliers are dealing in solar, heat pumps and batteries in the UK which can be confusing for users to choose from. Switchd aspires to simplify this. Users can enter their energy tariff details on the company's portal. Switchd then uses its smart algorithm to find the user the best deal from over 26,000 tariffs. The company will also switch users every 6-9 months based on future energy deals. Switchd claims its model has saved users an average of over £400 per year on their energy bills. Switchd is backed by angel investors, Inspired Energy, and the Nationwide Building Society, who are promoting Switchd to their 15.5 million members. The company was rated 'Excellent' on Trustpilot in July 2021 and intends to become a contender in the £6 billion UK and £300 billion global green homes solutions market. The company states it will use the investment to accelerate platform development, boost ongoing performance monitoring, grow its user base and lead the market.
