Carbon Zero Renewables

What Carbon Zero Renewables does

Carbon Zero Renewables Limited is a privately held UK solar installation company headquartered in St Asaph, North Wales, with an additional office in Old Colwyn. It designs, sells, and installs solar photovoltaic systems, battery storage solutions, electric vehicle charging points, and infrared heating panels for residential and commercial customers across Wales and North West England. The company's core technical offering is bespoke PV system design anchored to on-site property assessment — covering roof orientation, shading, and consumption profiling — combined with multi-brand battery integration across Tesla Powerwall, SolarEdge Home Battery, AlphaESS, Sigenergy, and GivEnergy, plus enterprise-grade monitoring platforms for commercial clients. All installations are MCS-certified, which is a prerequisite for accessing UK incentive schemes such as the Smart Export Guarantee.

The business operates a direct-to-customer, field-sales-led go-to-market model: prospective customers receive free, no-obligation on-site consultations rather than online quotes, followed by customised system design and project management through planning permissions, DNO applications, grid connections, commissioning, and aftercare. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time system sales and installation, with recurring contributions from maintenance contracts and referral or arrangement fees on third-party financing — including loans, lease financing, off-balance-sheet PPA structures, and grant funding facilitated via a partnership with Ambition North Wales for the £24.6M North Wales Clean Energy Fund. Customer segments span residential homeowners, commercial and industrial businesses, the agricultural sector, public and education-sector organisations, and community/voluntary groups, with over 120 industry awards cited as evidence of credibility including the EUPD European Installer Award 2023/2024 and Which? Trusted Trader status. No revenue, headcount, funding, or founding date is disclosed in the available source material.
