What Greener Energy Group does

Greener Energy Group Ltd is a privately held UK renewable energy installation company headquartered in Paisley, Scotland, founded in 2014 by Peter Chalmers. The company designs, supplies, and installs residential solar photovoltaic systems, battery storage solutions, and air source heat pumps for homeowners across Scotland and North-East England, and has completed over 6,000 installations for more than 6,824 customers since inception. Its offering is bundled with government grant application assistance — having secured over £22 million in customer grants at a reported 99% success rate — and with low-rate finance arranged via FCA-authorized credit broking (Register no. 751568) and a Capital Credit Union green-loan partnership.

The company's go-to-market is a direct-to-homeowner sales motion: an online suitability questionnaire, an adviser call, a free in-home assessment, and installation by in-house trained engineers, supported by a dedicated aftercare service division. Distribution is amplified through strategic channel partnerships — notably as an official Octopus Energy Trusted Partner and Cosy Accredited Installer (the second UK company to earn Cosy status, and 2026 UK Installer of the Year), and as Scotland's exclusive Hive Trusted Partner for "Works with Hive" installations. Marketing leans on a 4.6 Trustpilot score, a £200 referral bonus, and a consecutive multi-year award record (Global 100 Winner 2019-2022; Best in Home Energy Saving Solutions 2024).

Greener Energy Group is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for credit broking, holds Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) registration (NAP-33259), Cosy Accredited Installer status, and HIES consumer protection accreditation. Revenue is one-time installation-led, supplemented by ancillary gas-boiler installations, ancillary service fees, and finance/grant brokerage commissions; total revenue is not publicly disclosed. The company employs 51-100 staff and is founder-led, with Peter Chalmers serving as CEO.
