Energy Concerns: MCS-certified solar and battery installation in Leicester

Energy Concerns is a Leicester-based family business founded in 2022 by Todd Stephens, who serves as CEO, and run alongside his brother Lance Stephens, co-founder and lead electrician. The company installs solar panels, battery storage, EV chargers and air conditioning for homes and businesses across Leicester, Leicestershire and the wider East Midlands. It presents itself as MCS certified and OZEV approved, and lists RECC registration, NAPIT approval, TrustMark and City & Guilds among its credentials.

The company describes its approach as the Chameleon Principle™, a trademarked concept it summarises as designing energy systems that fit the space, lifestyle and goals of each customer rather than applying a standard package.

Solar panels, battery storage and EV charging

The core residential and commercial offer covers photovoltaic systems, battery storage, electric vehicle chargers and air conditioning. For solar, the company installs Aiko N-Type ABC panels and Tier-1 N-Type TOPCon panels. Battery storage options include Sigenergy all-in-one hybrid inverter and battery systems, Tesla Powerwall 3, Fox ESS premium hybrid storage and SolarEdge inverters with power optimisers. EV charging is handled through the Hypervolt Home 3, and the company also fits Samsung WindFree air conditioning and heat pump or split systems.

Commercial solar is presented as a separate line, with the company stating that it provides detailed return-on-investment projections specific to each business as part of a free commercial survey. The site indicates that most businesses achieve full payback in around four to seven years, based on current energy prices and available tax incentives.

A remote-first quotation process

Energy Concerns structures its sales process around a free 20-minute remote consultation. The customer books a slot, and the company prepares a survey using satellite imagery to map the roof, shading and energy use before the call. During the call, a qualified energy consultant presents a full system design, a savings forecast and an itemised quote. The design pack is then sent by email so the customer can decide in their own time. The company states that no payment is taken for the consultation and that it typically responds the same working day to enquiries.

HomeTree Solar Plan and finance

For customers who prefer not to pay upfront, the company offers the HomeTree Solar Plan, a maintained solar and battery package from £50 per month. The plan includes annual inspections and performance checks, and covers repairs on parts and labour. Energy Concerns also advertises 0% finance over 12 months for solar panels, battery storage and EV charger installation, subject to credit check and survey. A representative example is shown on the site, and the company notes that no-upfront-cost options are available.
