About Green Nation

Green Nation has been a leader in promoting the energy transition since being founded in 2011. During that time, we’ve developed solar farms around the country, taken over the management of many more, and worked with hundreds of owners to put solar on homes and business rooftops, supplying clean and renewable energy to the grid.

Assets under our management now generate gigawatt hours of electricity annually – enough to power thousands of homes. We’re helping to move Britain away from fossil fuels, paving the way to a clean, carbon-free energy system.

We strive to build long-term relationships on our projects. Investors, communities, suppliers, homeowners, land and building owners, all rely on the schemes we create, that are built for the long term. They are expertly planned, quality-driven and reliably maintained. We continue to grow and expand our base in the UK and are working on our largest project yet, the Whitestone Solar Farm in South Yorkshire.
  
To meet the target of clean power by 2030, and the larger ambition of a Net Zero economy, the UK needs more of every kind of solar development – both large-scale solar farms and the installation of solar panels on homes, businesses and public buildings in a ‘rooftop revolution’. Projects like Whitestone are a significant step in enabling the country to meet this challenge.

Our Journey

In 2011 we saw that the solar power industry was just taking off in Britain, and that not everyone who could benefit from solar power had the means to invest in it. We started raising capital for solar installations and looking for contractors who could do a professional job. We had four full-time staff, multiple students working part-time and some contractors.

Our Journey

By 2017 we had developed seven solar farms and over two hundred rooftop installations, and were asked to take on management of more sites by fund managers we were working with. By this point, we had a team of seven.

Our Journey

In 2026 we have 23 staff and each part of our business has grown enormously over the last nine years. The most exciting current project is the 750MW Whitestone solar farm, a multi-year project that has the potential to provide a big boost to the UK’s electricity supply.
