THE sun is shining for a Malvern-based solar panel firm as the number
of property owners looking to generate green energy increases.
Family-owned renewable energy specialists Energy Solutions Malvern has
seen soaring success with the firm’s father and son partnership doubling
turnover and adding to their growing team. Now it has opened
Worcestershire's first renewable energy showroom at its headquarters in
The Clifton Centre, Spring Lane South.
Initially launched after a £50,000 investment as Solar Solutions, the
company has changed its name to more accurately reflect its green energy
market. It is the brainchild of local businessman David McCann, a
former civil servant, who set up the firm after spotting a gap in the
UK’s renewable energy market and soon brought son Rowan on board.
Operating as a social enterprise, it ploughs 20 per cent of profits back
into community projects.
Mr McCann said: "I believe our success is underpinned by our people
and unique service. We don't just install solar panels. We advise
customers on the best, most cost-effective solution and how renewable
energy can benefit them in the long-term. That expertise has seen us
become a trusted commercial installer and for domestic homes where
demand for green energy is booming. When I set up Solar Solutions the
aim was to be different. Of course we wanted to be commercially
successful but too many businesses discount the environment and how they
can give something back. Therefore we made a commitment from day one
that we'd give a percentage of our profits back through community
projects. I am proud we’ve met that pledge through a variety of schemes
including charitable donations and tree planting, including working with
Acorns Children’s Hospice in Worcester.
