Celebrating 30 Years of SolarSense

Marking our 30th Anniversary

This year marks a significant milestone for SolarSense – our 30th anniversary. What began as a pioneering renewable energy venture in 1995 has grown into one of the UK’s most trusted providers of solar PV, battery storage and solar carports, delivering systems that help cut costs, reduce emissions and build long-term energy resilience.

Over three decades, SolarSense has delivered thousands of installations, pioneered multiple UK firsts and earned more than 24 industry awards for excellence and innovation in renewable energy. We have combined engineering excellence with purpose driven values – supporting dozens of charities, international development initiatives and conservation programmes – ensuring our work creates lasting environmental and social value.

Today, SolarSense is recognised as both an employee-owned organisation and a Certified B Corporation – embedding collective responsibility, technical integrity and positive impact at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to be one of the UK’s most trusted partners for commercial and industrial-scale renewable energy projects, working with leading organisations across manufacturing, aviation, retail, healthcare, education and public infrastructure. From Bristol Bears, Bristol Airport and Temple Quarter to Brothers Drinks, Glastonbury Festival, and The Duchy of Cornwall our systems continue to power businesses, protect critical infrastructure, strengthen energy independence and advance the UK’s transition to Net Zero.

As we celebrate this landmark year – including Stephen Barrett’s Lifetime Achievement Award – our mission remains unchanged: to accelerate decarbonisation, champion responsible employee-owned business and help build a cleaner, more resilient future for generations to come.

Behind every SolarSense installation is a an expert team of engineers, designers, and project managers who share a common goal – to unlock the full potential of renewable energy for businesses, communities and the planet. Our people are at the heart of our success, and their expertise, commitment and integrity have shaped our strong reputation over the past three decades.

As an employee-owned organisation, every member of our team has a direct stake in the quality of our work and the long-term success of the businesses we serve. This creates a culture of accountability, transparency and pride – where decisions are made for the long term and value is measured not only in financial returns, but also in environmental impact, community benefit and client trust.

As we celebrate 30 years of purpose-led innovation – and recognition as a finalist for B Corp of the Year 2025 – our journey continues to be shaped by values, people and impact.
