  • Cut hot water energy bills by up to 60% (when integrated with Octopus Agile smart tariff)

  • Improve SAP outcomes with a lower cost of comliance

  • Support grid flexibility with intelligent energy scheduling

  • Heats only what’s needed for faster delivery and less waste, with direct electric or gas

Homeowners at a Cala Homes (East) development save up to 250kg of CO2

CALA Homes East used Solar X to cut carbon emissions and energy bills, achieving strong SAP performance while maintaining a premium homeowner experience.

Cala Homes (East) install Mixergy.

I love the fact that our homeowners come to life when we explain how Mixergy works. It’s simple and effective. Contractors also like the product as they find it easy to install, just like a traditional cylinder. For Cammo Meadows, we needed a product that would work with both solar PV and gas boilers to help us make that transition to a gas-free domestic environment which is why we chose Mixergy.
