An Exciting Time for Growth

Demand for high-quality solar, battery storage, EV charging, and smart energy solutions is surging — both in homes and businesses across the island. We’re growing fast to meet it.

We’re currently investing in our operations with a new warehouse refit funded through the Government of Jersey’s Better Business Grant. This upgrade has created a new job with our Warehouse & Logistics Coordinator boosting efficiency and capacity.

To keep pace with this momentum and maintain our high standards, we’re now recruiting two key hires to support our design & delivery teams. If you’re passionate about renewables and want to join a thriving, forward-thinking company at just the right moment — 2026 could be your year.


Electrician (Technician)

Are you an electrician who is used to working independently but now wants more support and a new direction? Or perhaps a technician or engineer from a related specialist trade looking for a fresh challenge in energy solutions?

Key Responsibilities

  • Independently use our digital systems to survey, quote, and book small electrical works (collaborating with the lead electrician for design sign-off)
  • Carry out electrical installations and support solar PV projects (company van provided)
  • Assist with reactive works, fault detection, and troubleshooting
  • Perform proactive maintenance and servicing of solar PV systems (residential & commercial)

☀️Oxygen Therapy Jersey is officially running on sunshine! Thanks to SunWorks’ 2025 Solar Giveaway, the charity has received a brand-new solar panel system worth £10,000—installed in just two days by the SunWorks team in a full-force, “all hands on deck” effort.

This transformative project will help the charity dramatically reduce its energy bills and environmental footprint, freeing up more resources to support islanders with a wide range of health needs❤️

“By installing this system, we’re helping Oxygen Therapy Jersey future-proof its running costs while also cutting carbon emissions,” said Mark Brandon, Co-Owner and Managing Director at SunWorks. “It’s fantastic to see renewable energy directly benefiting a charity that makes such a difference to people’s lives.”

The installation is expected to save the charity up to 15% on its electricity bills, creating vital breathing space in its budget.

“We are absolutely delighted with this installation,” said Collette Bagas, Centre Manager at Oxygen Therapy Jersey. “Winning the SunWorks 2025 Solar Giveaway will provide an important boost to reducing our carbon footprint. More of our resources can now go directly into delivering care to our clients.”

🙏Collette also expressed gratitude to the community for their support:

“We’re incredibly thankful to everyone who voted for us and to SunWorks for placing their confidence in our work. This installation strengthens our commitment to sustainability and allows us to expand our services, reaching even more individuals who could benefit from oxygen therapy. Our vision is growth, sustainability, and continued service to the island community.”

We’re proud to announce that Oxygen Therapy Jersey has been selected as the winner of our 2025 Solar Giveaway, receiving a free solar installation worth up to £10,000.

Oxygen Therapy Jersey is a local charity providing innovative oxygen treatments to support islanders with a wide range of health conditions. Their dedication to improving lives across our community deeply inspired us—and clearly resonated with the public, who voted overwhelmingly in their favour.

💬 Supporting Community Wellbeing Through Clean Energy

“We’re thrilled to be supporting Oxygen Therapy Jersey with this installation,” said Mark Brandon, Co-Owner and Managing Director at SunWorks. “Their work provides essential health services to our community, and by reducing their energy bills, we hope to give them more freedom to focus resources on their patients rather than overheads. At the same time, this installation will help lower their environmental impact, showing how clean energy can power community wellbeing.”

The bespoke solar panel system will be installed in early autumn 2025, helping the charity reduce its running costs and carbon footprint for years to come.

🙌 A Community Effort

Oxygen Therapy Jersey shared their heartfelt thanks:

“On behalf of the Oxygen Therapy Centre, I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for us, to SunWorks for shortlisting us, and everyone involved in making this happen.
This will have a huge impact on the Charity and also on the environment. We can’t thank you enough for your amazing support.”

This year’s giveaway saw strong applications from across Jersey, with EYECAN shortlisted as a finalist. The public voting throughout July and August highlighted the incredible support islanders have for local charities making a difference.

🌍 Powering a Brighter Future

The Solar Giveaway is part of our ongoing commitment to making clean energy accessible and impactful across Jersey. This marks the second successful year of the initiative, and we’re already looking forward to what next year will bring.

Stay tuned for updates on the installation and more opportunities to get involved in future community projects.

In 2024, SunWorks launched the first Solar Giveaway worth £10,000! The Sustainable Co-operative (SCOOP) won the competition, which ran for several months and involved various challenges. The public voted for their favorite non-profit organisation to win this amazing prize!

As part of winning the competition, SunWorks installed a 5kW solar system worth £10,000. The SunWorks team also volunteered their free time on a Friday afternoon to help with the installation, alongside SMART Scaffolding, who kindly donated the scaffolding used for the project! This demonstrates that not only is SunWorks passionate about sustainability and supporting Jersey locals and businesses, but other businesses and individuals are too!

Since September 2024, the installed system has generated over 2,470 kWh of clean energy, with SCOOP using 98% of their solar energy, resulting in total savings of £550 to date. We are now edging into summer, so this is set to significantly increase over the next few months.

Kaspar Wimberley, the Director of SCOOP, said, “SCOOP was the lucky recipient of the SunWorks giveaway in 2024, which was the perfect fit. Switching to renewable forms of energy aligns with our focus on environmental sustainability and in times of increasing energy prices and economic uncertainty, harnessing solar power to be more energy independent can add resilience and reduce the running costs of the business. With a constant energy supply required to power our cold storage of fresh organic produce, solar power made sense and has helped lower our electricity bills. We are extremely thankful for the generosity of SunWorks and wish all those applying for support in 2025 the best of luck!”

The success of the 2024 Solar Giveaway underscores our commitment to sustainability and community empowerment. We look forward to continuing our efforts to make renewable energy accessible to all, especially by installing the 2025 Solar Giveaway for the lucky winner!
