Renewable Industry growth and Ecovision
The renewable energy industry is now experiencing significant growth across all sectors and technologies. Because of increasing energy prices and the requirement to de carbonise energy production, the demand for new solar PV installation is growing at the highest rate since Government incentive schemes came to an end. In response to this Ecovision Asset Management have moved back into installation of new Solar PV systems, focusing on the rooftop sector with installations up to 500kw. It is embedded in our culture that we value and invest in all our staff, helping people to realise their potential and always looking to promote internally and develop our teams
