What Excel Energy does

Excel Energy Ltd is a UK-based commercial renewable energy EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contractor specialising in the design, procurement, installation, commissioning, and handover of commercial solar PV systems, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and commercial EV charging infrastructure. The company delivers turnkey solutions spanning rooftop and ground-mounted solar arrays, solar carports, battery storage integration (including partnerships with Sigenergy, Tesla Energy, and SolarEdge), and EV charging points (22kW AC and rapid chargers), supported by a 5-year workmanship warranty and an Operations & Maintenance (O&M) package covering a typical 25–30 year system lifespan. It also offers Solar Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and financing through partners such as Smart Ease Finance to remove upfront capital barriers for clients.

The company serves enterprise and mid-market customers across industrial/manufacturing, agriculture, medical/pharmaceutical, healthcare (hospitals and care homes), commercial real estate, retail, quarrying, and the public/third sector, with a project portfolio ranging from sub-10kWp residential-scale systems to a 1.58MW rooftop installation for QuidelOrtho in Wales. Named enterprise clients include Tesco, Sony, Unilever, Euro Foods, Royal Marsden Hospital, and Bryn Quarry, alongside mid-market customers such as Beckenham Care Home, Fort Stamford, Enviko Energy, and Glebe Farm. Geographic coverage is national across England, Wales, and Scotland, structured around a London head office (Great Portland Street) and a Dorset regional office in Ferndown, with 12+ SEO-optimised regional landing pages supporting the field-sales motion.

Commercially, Excel Energy generates revenue primarily through hardware sales (solar panels, inverters, mounting systems, batteries, EV chargers) bundled within turnkey EPC project contracts priced per kWp (£1.50–£2.60 per watt; £150,000–£260,000 for a typical 100kW system), supplemented by managed services (O&M subscriptions, PPA recurring revenue) and partner-arranged financing. It is differentiated by an extensive accreditation stack (NAPIT, MCS, RECC, Trustmark, ISO 9001/14001/45001/14068-1, BS7671), SolarEdge preferred partner status enabling extended inverter warranties, EUPD Research Certified Installer recognition (2024), and three 2025 industry award wins. The company is privately held (Company Number 14127261), founder/management-owned with no disclosed institutional investment, and operates with 1–10 employees.

Broad incumbents

• Solarcentury (Statkraft): Solarcentury is a UK-rooted utility-scale and commercial solar EPC that was acquired by Statkraft in 2020. It overlaps directly with Excel Energy in commercial rooftop and ground-mount PV and BESS delivery, but operates at materially larger scale and serves larger enterprise and utility customers.
• Lightsource BP: Lightsource BP is one of the UK's largest utility-scale solar EPC and asset owners with global reach. While it is much larger and primarily focused on utility-scale ground-mount, it competes for large commercial and industrial solar contracts in the same UK market and represents the upper bound of what a growing commercial EPC could scale toward.
• EDF Renewables UK: EDF Renewables UK is an established renewable energy developer and operator within the EDF group, active in solar PV, battery storage and EV charging infrastructure across the UK. Overlaps with Excel Energy on BESS and EV charging niches but operates at much larger scale with corporate balance sheet support.

Direct peers

• EvoEnergy: EvoEnergy is a UK commercial and industrial solar PV EPC contractor delivering rooftop, ground-mount and battery storage installations for factories, warehouses and farms. Directly comparable to Excel Energy on customer segments (manufacturing, agriculture, commercial buildings), technology (SolarEdge/Tesla-grade equipment) and turnkey EPC delivery model.
• GRIDSERVE: GRIDSERVE is a UK-based integrated solar, battery storage and EV charging operator and developer. It directly overlaps with Excel Energy across the same three-pillar bundle (PV + BESS + EV charging) and competes for the same commercial customer sites, though GRIDSERVE also develops its own asset pipeline.
• Renovus Energy: Renovus Energy is a UK commercial solar and battery storage installer targeting businesses, farms and schools with a similar turnkey EPC model. Highly comparable to Excel Energy on customer segments, technology stack and geographic coverage across England and Wales.

Emerging players

• Clean Energy Solutions (Green Skills Academy): Clean Energy Solutions is a UK SME focused on commercial solar PV and EV charging installations. It is comparable to Excel Energy as a smaller regional EPC player competing for the same commercial and agricultural projects, but with a narrower product line.
• Puredrive Energy: Puredrive Energy is a UK battery storage specialist with vertically-integrated residential and small-commercial storage products. It overlaps with Excel Energy on the BESS side of the bundle and increasingly on solar-plus-storage for commercial customers.
• Sunlit Solar: Sunlit Solar is a UK commercial and residential solar PV installer operating in the South East region. Comparable to Excel Energy as a London/south-east-based EPC with overlapping manufacturer partnerships and similar target customer profile.

Others

• Smart Ease Finance: Smart Ease Finance is a UK clean-tech finance broker enabling lease and financing for solar, battery and EV installations. It is not a competitor but an ecosystem partner that already works with Excel Energy, comparable in that it sits in the same PPA/finance value chain.
