What do solar panels, support pillows, international rugby and nuclear power plants have in common? The answer: Ross Miller, born and raised in the West Coast of Scotland.
Now you may be thinking; the West Coast of Scotland, a place not exactly known for its bountiful sunlight, so how did he become the face of the next generation of solar? And better yet, what does that have to do with pillows, rugby and nuclear energy?
We won’t give you his full life story (we know you’re here for renewable energy, not a biography), but knowing the face behind the brand gives you a glimpse into the service you can expect.
The story starts with a Gold Scholarship to Edinburgh University, where Ross studied Electronics and Electrical Engineering. Fast forward five years, and he was awarded a Masters in Engineering.
Not content with mastering the art of engineering, Ross set his sights on international rugby. From 2010 to 2013, he travelled the world playing for the Rugby 7’s Scotland team, traveling the world before eventually swapping stadiums for substations.
When the whirlwind of pro rugby settled, Ross sharpened his engineering skills with projects across Australia before heading back to Scotland, where he took on a senior role overseeing the decommissioning of Hunterston A nuclear power station. It’s all starting to come together now.
And the pillows? In between all this, Ross built an e-commerce brand selling support pillows – an Amazon bestseller, no less. After a successful buyout, he set his sights on a bigger challenge: renewable energy.
In 2021, Smartly Energy was founded by two experienced chartered engineers with over 30 years of industry expertise. A UK family business with a simple goal: to make premium renewable energy solutions accessible and affordable for homes and businesses alike.
Launching a solar company from Scotland’s notoriously grey West Coast wasn’t exactly the obvious choice. So Ross started where the demand was already growing – EV chargers. With around 1,000,000 electric cars in the UK, the market for home and commercial charging solutions was booming. Smartly initially focused on producing UK-made charging cables and installing EV ports.
But it wasn’t long before the dots connected. If EV chargers could run on solar, why not go straight to the source? And just like that, Smartly Charging evolved into Smartly Energy. A company on a mission to help people harness the power of the sun, no matter the weather.
Any good rugby player knows teamwork makes the dream work. The backs can’t score tries if the forwards don’t set them up with the ball. The same is true in the solar industry, although we are talking about highly engineered photovoltaic cells instead of a ball.
Ross had made it his mission to work with only the best suppliers to provide the best products. And he succeeded. Partnering with leading brands like Roofit Solar and Ergosun, Smartly Energy installs only the best of the best.
Solar tiles and solar slates are the perfect way to invest in a solar solution for your home. Teaming up with Ergosun, we’re proud to install a solar roof solution, built tough and installed to last. Going green in your home no longer has to mean big, chunky panels. Ergosun is solar with style, working efficiently underwraps whilst your roof looks the part.
Roofit.Solar is revolutionising the solar industry with its innovative 2-in-1 solar tiles. Instead of installing traditional solar panels on top of existing roofs, Roofit.Solar combines sleek, durable roofing with high-efficiency solar technology. This means homeowners can enjoy a stunning, modern roof that generates clean energy while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of their property.
To reduce our carbon footprint, we only partner with brands in UK and Europe. We also plant trees, offset CO₂ and are officially certified as Carbon Neutral by Carbon Neutral Britain.
We are a driven and dynamic business, and passionate about ensuring our products are the highest quality and at the forefront of smart eco-friendly technology.
In addition to our Carbon Neutral certification, we plant one tree for every order received, and one tree for every solar panel we install, through our partnership with One Tree Planted.
Our customers have spoken. We are proud of our business and the customer service we offer. We work hard to provide the best customer experience possible.
It’s easy for businesses to make a lot of noise about their green credentials while doing little to back them up. You won’t find that here. Smartly is a certified Carbon Neutral Business. The commitment is more than just an aspiration. Smartly only works with brands based in the UK and Europe to keep their carbon footprint low. What is left over is offset by the planting of new trees.
It’s not just the planet that Ross cares deeply for; he wants the very best for his customers too. Smartly is an accredited Home Insulation & Energy Systems Quality Assured Contractors scheme member. It means that any purchase from Smartly has an insurance-backed guarantee and customers also receive a deposit and stage-payment protection insurance.
