To homeowners, Otovo is the easiest way to get solar panels on the roof. We are a marketplace organizing a network of hundreds of local, high quality energy installers that we have vetted thoroughly. We use our proprietary technology to analyse the potential of any home and advise precisely about the ideal project. Founded in Oslo in 2016, our team consists of engineers, programmers and technical consultants located in Oslo, Stockholm, Paris, Madrid, Warsaw and Milan. In France, we are known as “In Sun We Trust”, the result of the merger with the French solar energy startup. We have sold and completed thousands of solar energy projects across Europe and aim to become the continent’s no.1 residential solar energy company. Otovo is financially solid, being backed by some of Scandinavia’s major investment entities, notably Axel Johnson of Sweden, Norway’s municipal pension fund (KLP), and Nysnø, the Norwegian green sovereign investment fund.
