Wales Energy Efficiency Awards 2025: Excel Energy Celebrates Success

We’re proud to announce that Excel Energy has been Highly Commended in the Regional Large-Scale Project (>£250K) category at the Wales Energy Efficiency Awards 2025, a significant industry milestone that reaffirms our position as one of the UK’s leading commercial solar specialists.

This recognition was awarded for our standout work on the QuidelOrtho Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Facility in Pencoed, Bridgend, a project that reflects everything we stand for: innovation, integrity, and impeccable project delivery.

Project Spotlight: QuidelOrtho - Powering Innovation Through Solar

➡️ Client: QuidelOrtho

➡️ Location: Pencoed, Bridgend, Wales

➡️ Sector: Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

➡️ System Type: Commercial Rooftop Solar

➡️ Objective: Reduce carbon footprint, enhance energy efficiency, and future-proof operations.

QuidelOrtho, a world-renowned pharmaceutical manufacturer, approached Excel Energy with a vision: to modernise its facility with cutting-edge renewable energy solutions. Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for this global healthcare leader; it’s a core business principle.

The project faced early-stage delays and inefficiencies while under the guidance of previous providers. Once Excel Energy was brought on board, we swiftly resolved the outstanding issues and streamlined the entire process. From initial design to final commissioning, the project was delivered on time, on budget, and with zero disruption, allowing QuidelOrtho to stay focused on operational performance and delivering critical value to their customers.

“It has been a pleasure working with Nick, Andrew, and the installation team. The Excel Energy team were professional throughout, and we had no issues at all with them on-site. I would have no hesitation recommending Excel Energy to any client, whether industrial or domestic, because the experience we have had has been amazing, and I can’t imagine there being any better installer in the UK.”
