About Ecovision:

Ecovision has extensive experience in designing, installing and managing distributed rooftop solar PV asset portfolios across the UK. We have installed over 5,500 systems and currently manage over 19,000 installations across mainland UK (63MWp capacity), primarily on behalf of portfolio investors, councils and housing associations. We have a strong track record of managing long‑term solar performance and work with clients to minimise operational costs whilst maximising the generation of renewable energy.

Renewable Industry growth and Ecovision:

The renewable energy industry is experiencing significant growth across all sectors and technologies. As a consequence of increasing energy prices and the requirement to decarbonise energy production, demand for new solar PV installations is growing at the highest rate since government incentive schemes ended. In response, Ecovision has moved back into installation of new Solar PV systems, focusing on the rooftop sector with installations up to 500kWp.
