Verto Homes was set up in 2010 as a direct response to the lack of sustainable property innovation in the UK.

With property expertise spanning decades, Co-founders Tom Carr and Richard Pearce were acutely aware of the damaging effects of traditional house building and knew there had to be a better way. So they pooled together some like-minded investors and set out to change the way people live by changing the homes they live in, and founded Verto Homes.

Verto Homes designs, builds and sells intelligent and sustainable Zero Carbon Smart Homes, which produce and use their own renewable energy. The homes use highly sustainable materials which push the boundaries of modern home design and feature intuitive home-automation technology.
Alongside the creation of the UK's first Zero Carbon Smart Homes, we developed an Android and iOS-based control system for every element of the homes: Vesta. Vesta – the goddess of the home – controls a small mini-server or “hub” in the home which synchronises with on-site micro-generation technology and home-automation hardware. This system makes our homes some of the most energy-efficient on the UK market.

Vesta manages power produced by integrated solar-roofing systems by sending it where and when it's needed. During the day, when the solar panels are producing energy, Vesta will automatically divert this energy to high-demand appliances like the electric-car charging point or the hot-water store, as required. If all the home's power needs are catered for, it can then store the energy in batteries for use when the sun isn’t shining. Pretty smart, right?
