  • Trusted by farmers across the UK
    Agriculture is a sector we know inside out. We’ve designed and delivered renewable energy systems for hundreds of farms, including bespoke glycol chillers for dairies, grain and crop drying systems, and large-scale solar, battery and biomass boiler setups on poultry sheds.
  • End to end renewable energy expertise
    From solar PV and battery storage to heat pumps, CHP units and tailored electrical systems, we handle every part of the project in-house, from design through to installation and servicing.
  • Tailored to your farm
    No two farms are the same. We work closely with you to understand your site, energy consumption, business model, and long-term goals, then we recommend a bespoke solution that makes sense for you and your land.
  • Diversification that works

Solutions proven to work

We used ESP from recommendation following a couple of failed attempts to get others to quote, one call to Ross at ESP and the ball was rolling. Ross attended site on multiple occasions to asses the site, and offer comprehensive guidance on the best system to use on our site. His staff are all more friendly and helpful, there was a wait on commissioning of the system, and whilst a little frustrating as we were excited to get up and running the time was useful as it allowed us to sort out what we were going to do with our electric meter, is the one we had is unable to measure units to export. ESP also offer A lot of help and advise on sorting this to, we look forward to the saving on return of investment, and would not think twice to use ESP again for any similar projects.

Nicholas HilyardBiomass Boiler Owner

The team were fantastic, From quoting through to order, install & commissioning, they were super responsive, incredibly competent, and nothing was too much trouble.

They put up 22 solar panels, a Tesla Powerwall 3 battery, connected two energy supplies into 1, dug trenches between buildings, installed a Cat6 ethernet cabling system AND kept cost reasonable with no shocks. Above all, they were nice guys! I cannot recommend this company strongly enough.

Dez O'ConnorBiomass Boiler Owner

Superb local company who service our Austrian biomass boiler with expertise and resourcefulness. I’ve been happy to recommend to my friends who also have biomass boilers. I’m very grateful to the ESP team and their knowledge and responsiveness.

Jonathan DavisBiomass Boiler Owner

We purchased a solar energy system, including a battery from ESP. It has been over 12 months since the system was installed, and it has worked/still is working brilliantly. Our energy bills have decreased massively, especially being able to store energy in the battery.

Ross and his team were friendly and professional and answered any questions we had about the products and service.

Having received such a great service from ESP, I approached them about providing sponsorship for our local primary schools summer fayre.  Without hesitation they offered their support and helped the school raise vital funds. Would highly recommend this company for their service and high quality solar products.

Madeleine Good

ESP energy did a full installation of a pressurised water system and storage system along with a smart underfloor heating control system. They did this in one of the most remote part of the Snowdonia national Park on a totally off grid building and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the work they did.

To say the weather was against them was an understatement and they still carried on and did the highest standards of work.

I would highly recommend the ESP team to anyone. They were extremely professional, high quality work and knowledge and most of all a great company to work with. Many thanks for everything you did for us!

Joshua Feilden

Best decision I’ve made this year to choose ESP to supply us with solar panels, I cannot fault their service from start to finish we were treated like individuals and our requirements important to them, starting with a face-to-face meeting to discuss our options, the manner in which our choices were explained to us verbally and on paper were easy to understand, nothing appeared too much trouble;

Helga Sarmidis

Very knowledgeable firm. Ross and team are able to cater and put packages together to suit individual customers within the renewable sector.

Used myself for solar install, project completed on time and to a high standard.

Harry Dodd-Moore

ESP installed the Solar panels and battery at our Village Hall. We are extremely happy with quality of workmanship and the savings on the Hall’s energy bill.

Many thanks ESP.

Russell Purslow

Great business to deal with! Ross was great from the outset with recommendations on how we can drive our business to net zero! A big step forward!

Thank you all!

Rhys Thomas

Wonderful local company to work with! ESP Energy have worked with us at BeaverFit UK for the last year on our solar panels and they’ve been an excellent help, very consistent with great communication!

Would 100% recommend for future use.

Yes, especially when paired with solar PV and/or CHP. We specialise in off-grid and hybrid systems for rural and agricultural sites.

CHP systems require regular servicing, it also benefits from having a skilled engineer on site to undertake daily and weekly checks and tasks. As the UK’s CHP specialists, we offer comprehensive maintenance plans and stock critical spare parts.
