Lightsource has moved from its former base at Old Bailey to a new custom-built office space of more than 30,000 square ft to accommodate the rapidly growing Lightsource team. Founded in 2010 with just six staff, Lightsource now has a team of over 300 in-house professionals from over 25 different nations and in that time has become the largest PV business in Europe.
Proving that solar energy has become more than just a cottage industry, the company operates and maintains the largest portfolio of utility scale solar PV plants in the United Kingdom with a total installed capacity of more than 700MWp. With a very significant pipeline under construction, Lightsource is well on-course to become the first UK developer to hit the 1GWp mark early this year.
In just four years, Lightsource has deployed more than £1.3billion of retail investment into commercial scale solar energy projects, primarily in the UK and has also recently launched various new and pioneering solar products for the rooftop market, which has already generated a strong pipeline.
Nick Boyle, CEO of Lightsource, said: Its been an incredible experience for Lightsource in a very short period and there is plenty more to come for 2015 and beyond. We have passed many milestones along the way, from the development of some of the largest commercial solar PV projects in the country, establishing offices in Northern Ireland and Scotland, launching our commercial rooftop division and the creation of a nationwide network of installers not to mention several industry awards.
While our business strategy has had to evolve to overcome the many hurdles along the way, it is testament to the professionalism and dedication of the Lightsource team that another busy year is ending on a high.
