The British Solar Renewables group builds, owns and operates a new generation of utility-scale renewable energy solar plants across the UK. The company ranks in the top 3 UK developers and employs circa 100 individuals with 70 in the company’s head office and the remainder leading teams on-site constructing solar parks.
The business was created in 2011 by a highly successful Somerset entrepreneur and over the course of 2012 expanded to a fully integrated development platform taking potential sites from identification through to construction and onto either asset sale or long term ownership and management.
British Solar Renewables was founded on the desire to combine renewable energy with conservation and agriculture. Our core energy production, solar power, is thanks to ambient light. It is predictable, quantifiable and therefore offers a perfect compatibility with additional technologies such as energy storage. We take pride in being a part of the transition away from global fossil fuel reliance and as a result of this, we are increasing our portfolio of renewable energy projects.
As farmers ourselves, we have a lifelong affinity with the land and we know how to care for it. We encourage our landowners to continue agricultural practice by grazing sheep on our sites and our land management experts will provide a constructive strategy for improving biodiversity on developed land where appropriate.
It is important to us that our projects have as little visual and social impact as possible. We make a point of consulting with local communities and listening carefully to their comments.
