Will you be our new Head of Operations?

Welcome to the world of iChoosr

We are a young, international, fast-growing organisation with +100 colleagues in five countries: Belgium, The Netherlands, Poland, United Kingdom, USA and Japan.

At iChoosr we believe in the power of united consumers, which is why we organise group-buying schemes for products like solar panels and green energy. The idea is simple: together you get a better deal than alone. iChoosr wants all parties involved to benefit from the power of the group. More than 2.5 million households globally have now saved money through iChoosr.

iChoosr has been organising group-buying schemes for solar panels in partnership with UK councils since 2015. Our Solar Together initiatives help households across the UK access a high quality installation for a competitive price by coming together as a group. Through group-buying we enable people to invest in a sustainable future and benefit from savings on their electricity bill at the same time.

Buying solar panels doesn’t have to be difficult. iChoosr provides customers with clear and objective information supported by its dedicated help desks for when customers have any additional questions. It provides a safe environment in which people can make an informed decision where they might otherwise not do so.
