What head-on renewables does

Head-On Renewables Ltd is a private limited company based in Kingston upon Hull, East Yorkshire, United Kingdom, that designs, supplies, and installs solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, battery storage systems (5KW and 10KW), and electric vehicle (EV) chargers for residential and small-to-medium business (SMB) customers. Incorporated in 2015, with the Renewables division formally established within the Head-On Group in 2017 by director James Fethon, the company operates as a local renewable energy installer serving Hull, East Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire, and North Yorkshire. The business holds MCS, RECC, NICEIC, and TrustMark accreditations, and the team brings over 25 years of combined experience in the electrical and renewable energy industry, including co-owner Tony Fethon (three decades) and managing director John Hewitt (nearly 15 years with Head-On Group).

The company's product portfolio centers on four interconnected offerings: solar PV panel installation (from £3,685), battery storage (from £3,500), EV charger installation (from £895), and tiered annual maintenance packages (Bronze £150+VAT, Silver £250+VAT, Gold £325+VAT). Notable service features include drone-based visual inspection and thermal imaging for fault detection in the Gold maintenance tier. The business is part of the broader Head-On Group, which also operates Head-On Electrical; the Fethon family (James and Tony Fethon) controls ownership alongside managing director John Hewitt and accounts director Tracy Vickers, with no external institutional investment or venture capital funding evidenced.

Head-On Renewables generates revenue primarily through one-time installation fees for solar, battery, and EV systems, supplemented by a smaller recurring revenue stream from annual maintenance subscriptions. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with lead generation through website quote requests, phone inquiries (01482 770214), referrals, and localized SEO across East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire; free site surveys and no-obligation quotations are used to convert prospects. Distribution is exclusively direct, with no resellers, distributors, or marketplace channels, and marketing relies on content (blog, location-specific landing pages), organic social, and word-of-mouth referrals from a base of publicly displayed residential customer testimonials.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Octopus Energy (Octopus Solar): UK retail energy supplier with a national solar PV, battery, and EV charger installation arm. Comparable because it offers the same integrated residential renewable energy stack and competes for the same homeowner leads, but at much greater scale with proprietary tech and finance offerings.
• EDF (HomeSmart Solar): Major UK energy supplier with a residential solar and battery installation programme. Comparable on the core solar+EV product offering and target customer (homeowner), though EDF is a much larger, multi-product energy group with national reach.
• E.ON UK (Solar & Storage): UK utility with a residential solar PV, battery storage, and EV charging product line. Comparable on the full renewable stack and SMB/residential customer focus; competes primarily on brand and finance rather than local trade expertise.
• British Gas (Solar & Storage): UK energy supplier and boiler/HVAC installer with a national solar and battery offering. Comparable on residential installation services and trade-led delivery model, but with substantially greater scale, marketing, and finance options.

Emerging players

• Otovo: Nordic-headquartered digital-first solar subscription and installer with a UK operation. Comparable on the solar+battery+EV bundle to homeowners and tech-enabled lead-to-install journey, but with national reach and a different (subscription-first) commercial model.
• Sunsure Energy: UK-focused residential solar installer with a strong national marketing funnel and digital lead generation. Comparable on the residential solar and battery installation model and direct-to-consumer go-to-market motion.
• Naked Energy: UK clean energy technology and installation business operating in solar PV and heat. Comparable on the renewable installation services offered to UK commercial and residential customers, with overlap in product/category even if delivery model differs.

Direct peers

• Solar Energy Savings: UK solar PV installer serving residential customers across multiple regions. Direct comparable on product mix (solar panels, batteries, EV chargers), GTM motion (free quotes, online lead capture), and MCS/RECC-style accreditation-led trust signals.
• GreenSquareAccord: UK social housing and regional energy-efficiency provider that installs solar PV and associated measures. Comparable on renewable installation services targeting UK properties and on the role of accreditations for grant eligibility.
• HomeSun (Statkraft): UK residential solar and battery installer (acquired by Statkraft, formerly Solar Century). Comparable on the residential rooftop solar and battery business model, and on competing for grant-eligible, MCS-certified installations.
