Recognition for quality solar PV installation, customer service and renewable energy expertise across the East Midlands
Greenio Renewable Energy Experts has been named Highly Commended in the Regional Solar PV Installer and Contractor of the Year category at the East Midlands Energy Efficiency Awards 2026.
The recognition is a significant achievement for our growing team and reflects our commitment to providing high-quality, professionally designed solar PV and battery storage installations across the East Midlands.
The East Midlands Energy Efficiency Awards took place on 9 July 2026 at Eastwood Hall in Nottingham, bringing together businesses and professionals working across the energy efficiency and renewable energy sector. The awards are designed to recognise success, innovation and ethics within the industry. energyefficiencyawards.co.uk
For Greenio, being recognised among the region’s leading solar PV installers is something we are extremely proud of.
What does the Solar PV Installer and Contractor of the Year award recognise?
The Regional Solar PV Installer and Contractor of the Year category recognises companies involved in installing, repairing and maintaining solar photovoltaic systems.
Importantly, the award isn’t simply about the number of solar panels installed.
According to the Energy Efficiency Awards’ official judging criteria, the category recognises qualified solar PV installers and contractors that demonstrate excellent customer service, high standards of workmanship and best practice within their local community.
Judges also consider factors including the scale and scope of projects, energy savings achieved, customer testimonials, community impact and the level of expertise demonstrated by the installer. Residential, commercial and industrial solar PV installations can all be considered. energyefficiencyawards.co.uk
That makes receiving a Highly Commended award particularly important to us because these are exactly the areas on which we want Greenio to build its reputation.
A different approach to solar PV installation
At Greenio, we believe installing solar panels should start with understanding the customer rather than simply selling a predetermined system.
Every property and business is different.
Electricity consumption, roof space, future energy requirements, battery storage, electric vehicle charging and available electrical infrastructure can all influence the most appropriate renewable energy solution.
Our approach is therefore consultancy-led and engineering-focused.
We work with our customers to understand how they currently use energy, what they want to achieve and how technologies such as solar PV, battery storage and EV charging can work together.
For homeowners, that might mean reducing reliance on grid electricity and making better use of the electricity generated by their solar panels.
For commercial customers, it can mean understanding daytime electricity consumption and designing a solar PV system capable of reducing purchased electricity, improving long-term energy resilience and supporting wider sustainability objectives.

Recognised alongside some of the region’s leading solar companies
The official 2026 awards results list Greenio alongside a strong group of companies operating within the solar and renewable energy sector.
For Greenio, this recognition provides independent acknowledgement of the progress the business and our team are making.
It is particularly rewarding because the judging criteria look beyond the installation itself and consider areas such as expertise, workmanship, customer experience, energy savings and impact within the local community. energyefficiencyawards.co.uk
A thank you to our customers and the Greenio team
Achievements like this aren’t the result of one person.
They come from the combined efforts of the people surveying properties, designing systems, preparing proposals, organising installations, working on roofs, completing electrical work, commissioning equipment and supporting customers after their installation has been completed.
We therefore want to say a huge thank you to the entire Greenio team.
We’d also like to thank our customers.
Choosing a company to install solar panels, battery storage or EV charging equipment is a significant decision. We appreciate every homeowner, business and organisation that has trusted Greenio to deliver their renewable energy project.
Continuing to raise the standard of solar installation
Receiving a Highly Commended award is something to celebrate, but for us it is also motivation to keep improving.
Greenio continues to invest in our people, technical expertise, processes and the renewable technologies we offer.
As the transition towards electrification continues, we believe customers increasingly need more than somebody who can simply install solar panels.
They need an installer who can look at the bigger picture.
That means understanding how solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, electricity consumption and future energy requirements can work together to create an effective long-term solution.
That is the approach we intend to continue developing across the East Midlands.
