What Energy Gain UK does

Energy Gain UK Ltd is a UK-based commercial solar photovoltaic installer founded in 2007/2008 and headquartered in Manchester (Trafford Park), with a secondary office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The company specialises in large-scale Solar PV installations for businesses and public sector organisations across three core configurations: commercial rooftop, ground-mount, and solar carport (the last with optional EV-charging integration). Its end-to-end service covers energy profiling, financial appraisal, system design, supply, project management, commissioning, verification, and ongoing operations and maintenance, supported by bankable solar yield forecasting software, bespoke cashflow scenario modelling, and Bloomberg NEF Tier 1 module procurement. The firm serves approximately 25+ named customers across manufacturing, healthcare, local government, leisure, agriculture, engineering, food production, and technology, and has executed over 2,600 projects in 17 years of operations, with flagship installations ranging from 24 kWp to 1.45 MWp. Customers include Vygon UK, Archwood, Kasai UK, Eurocell, Siemens Electrium, Krones UK, and Weetwood Ales.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model. The primary stream is one-time CAPEX sale of solar PV systems, with indicative pricing of £60k–£90k for a 100 kWp system, £325k–£450k for a 500 kWp system, and sub-£700/kWp at the 1 MWp+ tier. Recurring and contract-based revenue streams include Power Purchase Agreements (third-party owns the system, client buys electricity below grid tariff), lease-to-own and green loan structures, ongoing Operations & Maintenance contracts, and a growing carbon consultancy practice covering PAS 2060, SECR, ESOS, and ISO 50001 compliance. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales, supported by an in-house blog, online savings calculators, organic social media, and — for public sector buyers — appointment to the Fusion21 Heating, Renewables and Electrical Framework (worth £820 million, announced February 2024). The company holds a stack of UK-gating certifications (MCS, NICEIC, ConstructionLine, Cyber Essentials, ISO 50001, PAS 2060, RECC, Safe Contractor) and was named ESG Champion 2025 by North West Business Insider. It is privately held with 11–50 employees and no disclosed external institutional investment.

Revenue model

1. Solar PV System Installation (CAPEX Purchase): Direct sale of solar photovoltaic systems to commercial and public sector clients who purchase the system outright. Clients own the system and benefit from energy savings and capital allowances. This is the primary revenue stream.
2. Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): A third-party owns and operates the solar system; the client purchases the electricity generated at a fixed rate below their current grid tariff. No upfront cost to the client; savings begin immediately from day one.
3. Finance / Lease to Own: Clients spread installation costs over a fixed term while retaining ownership at the end of the agreement, or access green loans designed for renewable energy projects.
4. Carbon Consultancy and Compliance Services: Advisory services covering PAS 2060 carbon neutrality certification, SECR reporting, ESOS compliance, ISO 50001 certification, and decarbonisation strategy. These services support energy-intensive clients in meeting regulatory obligations and achieving ESG goals.
5. Operations and Maintenance (O&M): Ongoing monitoring, inspection, and maintenance services to ensure solar panels continue to perform for the duration of their lifetime.
