Ruuf turning Rooftops into Goldmines
What if your roof could do more than just keep the rain out—imagine it printing money.
That’s what Ruuf is all about. This Santiago-based startup, founded in 2022, offers no-money-down solar panel installations that start generating savings—and sometimes even profits—from day one.
Meet the founders behind Ruuf
Ruuf was founded by Domingo Garcia-Huidobro, Tomás Campos, and Pedro Saratscheff.
Domingo has been a solar energy enthusiast since 2015, Tomás is an electrical engineer with a passion for tech, and Pedro is a coding wizard with a stint at Google.
How Ruuf’s no-money-down solar model works
What sets Ruuf apart is its no-money-down approach. Instead of upfront costs, customers pay a monthly fee less than their current electricity bill.
Getting started is as easy as providing your address for a free instant quote. Ruuf handles everything digitally, from calculating the installation cost based on energy use and roof specifics to the final installation.
In some cases, savings can even turn the bill negative.
Solar panels, inverters and guarantees
Ruuf’s system includes solar panels and inverters, backed by guarantees: 24 months for installation, five years for the inverter, and 10 years for the panels.
