Generating Energy LTD

Generating Energy, solar engineering in Liverpool

Generating Energy LTD is a renewable energy company based in Liverpool that presents itself as a team of engineers, not salespeople. Its work focuses on the design and installation of clean energy systems for homes and businesses in Liverpool and the North West of England. The company describes its approach as "focused on innovation, not sales" and puts the conversation with the customer on technical ground before commercial ground.

Three systems that work separately or combined

The company's catalogue revolves around three product lines that can be installed independently or integrated into a single configuration:

• Solar panels: AIKO monocrystalline panels with an all-black finish, with a performance warranty of up to 30 years and an advertised bill reduction of up to 70%. For residential use, the company states 0% VAT.
• Battery storage: the Sigenergy SigenStor system stores surplus solar and off-peak energy, and powers the home during peak hours or supply outages. Usable capacity starts at 5 kWh and is scalable, supports whole-home backup, includes real-time monitoring via app and offers up to 10 years warranty.
• EV charging: smart home chargers with up to 7.4 kW power, integration with surplus solar, automatic scheduling and app control.

Working method: from initial survey to aftercare

The company structures its process in four stages. It begins with a free assessment in which an engineer reviews the property's needs, remotely or by phone. It then produces a tailored design and a detailed quote with savings projections. Installation is carried out by its own team, with the stated aim of minimising disruption. Finally, it maintains a performance monitoring and aftercare service after switch-on.

Among the pre-commitment services, the website mentions a free energy assessment, tailored system design, a savings report and a site survey. The company also offers flexible finance to spread the cost of the system over the term chosen by the customer, applicable to solar, battery and EV charging.

Customer profile: homes and businesses

Generating Energy distinguishes two audiences. For households, it presents installation as a way to reduce electricity bills, store energy at peak times, charge the vehicle at home and gain energy independence. For businesses, it presents the solution as a tool to lower operating costs, support sustainability goals, add workplace EV charging and strengthen long-term energy resilience.

Documented installations in the North West and Wales

The website lists several recent projects with their technical characteristics and location. These include a solar installation with a 4.35 kWp and 10 kWh battery in Heswall (Wirral); a 6.72 kWp commercial system with a 20 kWh battery in Liverpool; a 7.49 kWp installation with a 5 kW battery in Abergele (Wales); a 5.46 kW system with 10 kWh storage in Telford; a 2.73 kWp solar installation per home in two new-build developments in Toxteth (Liverpool); and a 5.85 kWp system with a 20 kWh battery in Childwall (Liverpool). The associated testimonials mention completion times of one or two days, electricity bills close to zero and repair work involving inverter replacement and scaffolding.

Leadership team and technical backing

The company identifies two directors. Louis Barnicle leads projects from the first call to switch-on and, according to the website, is the person customers mention by name. David Dudley-Jones oversees the execution of installations with a standard of clean and careful workmanship. The company defines itself as a small, local team based in Liverpool, and states that it holds accreditations and approved partners, although the material does not detail which ones.

Frequently asked questions about the technology

The site answers common questions: photovoltaic panels convert sunlight into electricity and the surplus can be stored or exported to the grid with payment through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). The company estimates residential savings at up to 70% and notes that commercial installations can save even more. It states that planning permission is generally not needed except in conservation areas or listed buildings, that panels usually last between 25 and 30 years and that they also work on cloudy days. Both panels and batteries are eligible for 0% VAT on homes, and businesses can take advantage of tax breaks and grants.
