Solarcentury is a London-based solar companies promoting the benefits of solar energy to the UK and beyond. Founded in 1998, they’ve been part of the evolution that has made PV the attractive investment it is today. They’ve put solar on more types of sites than any other company in the industry, and have won multiple awards for product innovation.
They work with investors to develop, build and run solar farms. They work with businesses to finance and install solar rooftops. They work with retailers, utilities and social housing providers to run solar programmes for homes. And their business is global and growing, with offices in the UK, The Netherlands, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Panama, Mexico and Chile.
They’re committed to making solar more accessible and more attractive: They design and manufacture the award-winning C21e tiles and slates. They’re one of the very few companies to have built a utility-scale dual-mode solar system. They built the world’s largest solar bridge. They’ve launched the first ever 10 year-yield warranty.
There are 3 main parts to their business:
1. Contract manufacture: They manufacture the award-winning range of C21e tiles and slates. These solar tiles and slates fit onto your roof like a standard tile; a 21st century building product, integrated and seamless.
2. Projects: They work directly with their clients to develop, design and install commercial, industrial and utility-scale solar. From barn roofs to grand bridges to ground-mounted solar, they’ve put solar on more types of sites than any other company in the industry.
3. Residential programmes: They work with social housing groups, retailers, banks and utilities to set up a system whereby they can offer domestic-scale solar to their customers. Just look at their success selling solar in Ikea stores.
