Agrivert acquires solar-storage business Chiltern Solar

Oxfordshire-based Agrivert has acquired the entire share capital of Buckinghamshire-based solar PV and battery storage system provider Chiltern Solar Limited.

Agrivert specialises in engineering and operating renewable energy assets. Since 2010, its primary focus has been producing biomethane to generate renewable energy through the design, build and operation of anaerobic digestion facilities that treat food waste, agricultural wastes and energy crops. 

“The acquisition of Chiltern Solar broadens Agrivert’s renewable energy product offering, further enabling it to deliver on its strategy of delivering high-quality design, installation and operational services for renewable energy to customers,” an Agrivert statement said.

Phil Earl, Agrivert’s chief executive, commented: “Expanding Agrivert’s capabilities into other forms of renewable energy is an important next step for the group as we continue to grow. This acquisition allows us to widen our customer base but also enables us to bring new solutions to our existing customers and opportunities for our staff. We have been very impressed with Chiltern Solar’s growth in recent years, their capability and expertise in solar PV and look forward to accelerating that as part of Agrivert.”

Steve Gamston, Chiltern Solar co-founder said: “This strategic move opens doors to new resources, expertise and opportunities and will enable the business to extend its reach and increase its impact in the Solar PV marketplace. Our decision to sell Chiltern Solar was made with confidence in Agrivert’s commitment to upholding our values, their proven track record in the renewable energy sector, and their vision for continued growth and success.”
