What GreenFox Energy does

GreenFox Energy Solutions Limited is a privately held Scottish solar installation company founded in 2023 by Eddie Curran and Andy Murphy, headquartered in Edinburgh and operating exclusively across Scotland. The company designs, supplies, and installs residential solar PV systems using an entirely in-house MCS-certified installation team, with a five-step process covering home survey, system design, supply and install, DNO registration, and ongoing monitoring. Its core products include custom-designed solar panel installations (typically £5,999-£15,000), battery storage solutions spanning Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5 kWh), Duracell (5 kWh), and Sigenergy (10 kWh), and smart EV chargers with solar-surplus priority charging.

The business model blends one-time project revenue from installations and battery/EV sales with a recurring services layer via the Vixen Care Plan subscription (£25.99/month) covering annual health-checks, panel cleaning, performance monitoring, and priority support. A £99 refundable Solar Health-Check service captures maintenance revenue from non-GreenFox installed solar systems. In April 2026 the company launched GreenFox Grass, an artificial turf product with embedded solar cells priced from £1,426/m² targeting properties with unsuitable roofs.

GreenFox holds MCS, NIC EIC, Which? Trusted Trader, RECC, Trustmark, and QualityMark accreditations, plus Octopus Energy Trusted Partner status and Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer approval. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via a website quote funnel, free home surveys, in-home consultations, and phone/email sales, augmented by referral partnerships with Octopus Energy, Scotwest Credit Union, Scottish Building Society, and others. The company reports a 4.7★ Trustpilot rating and a self-disclosed NPS of 9.3, targeting Scottish homeowners seeking to reduce electricity bills (typical 50-80% reduction claims) with payback periods of 6-10 years and 25-30 year system lifespans.
