The firm, which is based in Musselburgh, has been working with one of the largest privately-owned businesses in Scotland for the last couple of years, delivering installations at 14 dealerships and a number of operational facilities.

Since launching in December 2022, the partnership was Gensource’s first major contract win, with the work starting with six sites at EWMG’s luxury car village at Edinburgh’s Newbridge. 

The latest phase’s final project is a 155-kilowatt install at Bellshill’s Western Commercial in Glasgow.

Once fully operational, the system is forecast to save roughly £17,000 in its initial year, with a projected payback of roughly five years.

As of yet, the most notable project was the new pre-delivery inspection centre (PDI) in Dunfermline’s Halbeath, where Gensource designed the letters EWMG into the roof of the building in solar panels.

Gensource believes EWMG’s energy transition will generate around 1.66 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity per annum across its portfolio.

This amounts to the annual electricity consumption of roughly 660 typical UK homes, according to Ofgem’s current benchmark.

Josh King, Gensource managing director, said: “Working with such a prestigious client as Eastern Western has been fantastic for us and has served as a huge springboard for Gensource to achieve fast, sustainable growth.

“They are a forward-thinking company whose trust and support have been hugely important to our progress, and their commitment to quality aligns with ours.”

King added: “This has allowed us to demonstrate our ability to deliver a major multi-site solar programme for one of Scotland’s largest privately-owned businesses. 

“With Eastern Western undergoing significant expansion in dealerships, we have also been supporting them in maintaining the legacy systems they have inherited.”

Keith Duncan, group managing director at EWMG, said: “We have now completed the second phase of our solar power roll out …”

“In total we have now fitted solar power and monitoring to 19 businesses, and the results from late-spring to early-autumn have been amazing, with many power-hungry sites operating almost entirely on solar power.”
