Ex-tado CEO Toon Bouten becomes Chairman of the Advisory Board of SunRoof, pioneering solar innovations


SunRoof, a Swedish company known for its pioneering solar roof technology, is pleased to announce that Toon Bouten has joined as Chairman of the Advisory Board. Thanks to Bouten's extensive experience in leading businesses to excellence and scale in climate technology, SunRoof will receive invaluable support as it strengthens its position as the leader in the building-integrated solar roof market.

Before joining SunRoof, Bouten's visionary leadership as CEO of Tado propelled the company to unprecedented heights, spearheading its global expansion and cementing its reputation as an industry frontrunner. His distinguished career boasts senior executive roles at industry titans such as Philips Electronics, Compaq Computers, GN Store Nord/Jabra, Jobline, and Tomorrow Focus. Moreover, his current role as Chairman of the Advisory Board at Vilisto, a pioneering digital heat management provider, underscores his unwavering commitment to driving innovation in the energy transition sector.

I am excited to become the chairman of the Advisory Board. SunRoof has great potential based on its leading-edge technology and its great team. The residential solar adoption rate is still low and the market for integrated solar roof systems is enormous. Only if most roofs are equipped with solar installations enough renewable energy can be produced to achieve a net-zero economy,
-says Toon Bouten, Chairman of the Advisory Board of SunRoof. 

Founded by brothers Lech Kaniuk (CEO) and Karol Kaniuk (CPO), SunRoof has emerged as a frontrunner in harnessing solar energy through its innovative 2-in-1 solar roof system. It is highly aesthetic and the most powerful solar roof on the market, and it is price competitive with traditional solutions, fighting against climate change and reducing carbon emissions. SunRoof has successfully raised more than €35 million from leading investors such as Klima Energy Transition, World Fund, Nordic Alpha Partners, Legal & General Capital, and others like Level2 VC and SMOK Ventures. The company operates in Sweden, Poland, and Germany, with plans to scale up further.

As we transition from a startup to a scale-up, adding Toon Bouten to our team as Chairman of the Advisory Board is a strategic move to strengthen our management with seasoned leadership. Toon's proven track record in scaling technology companies and his deep understanding of the climate tech industry will be invaluable as we navigate the complexities of rapid growth and market expansion,
-says Lech Kaniuk, Co-Founder and CEO of SunRoof.

As SunRoof navigates its path into the future, the company remains steadfast in its dedication to fostering innovation and sustainability within the solar energy domain. With Toon Bouten as chairman of the Advisory Board, SunRoof is well positioned to lead the charge towards a cleaner future powered by renewable energy.
