About Low Carbon Energy
Discover who we are, what we do, and how we can empower your business with sustainable solutions

Powering your present. Preserving your future.

Founded in 2008, we’ve helped hundreds of businesses begin generating their own electricity using the power of the sun…

Our mission

For over 17 years, we’ve helped organisations across manufacturing, logistics, retail, infrastructure, and the public sector reduce carbon emissions, secure their energy costs, and take decisive steps towards Net Zero through solar panel installations, smart energy solutions, and batteries.

In 2025, we became part of Activ8 Energies and SSE, combining our 17 years of UK expertise with their proven track record, national resources, and engineering excellence. This partnership strengthens our ability to design and deliver ambitious solar projects at scale, from rooftop systems to multi-megawatt solar farms.

While our leadership team and core values remain the same, our capacity to deliver has grown substantially. Backed by the resources and technical depth of Activ8 and SSE, we can help more businesses accelerate their decarbonisation plans, protect against volatile energy markets, and realise measurable cost savings.
