This marks a compelling move from the solar and off-grid technical wholesaler whose brands include some of the world’s best-known Solar and power technology manufacturers. The new Tiel office is the latest in the company’s commitment to global expansion and marks the first central European branch with plans to expand further over the coming months. Managing Director, Paul Brooks Jnr commented, “We have been planning our expansion into Europe for some time. We’re very excited and eager to bring the best solar and energy storage products to Holland and Central Europe. Our many years of experience in the industry will allow us to do this in a new market, capitalising on the success we have achieved in the UK and USA. The global solar market hit 98.9GW of output last year and the European market grew by 28% in 2017 alone so there is a very positive outlook for our industry.” CCL Solar will be offering Tier 1 brands such as SMA, SolarEdge, Fronius, Trina, LG and many more. CCL have locations in the UK and USA and plan to utilise this experience in the new location. One of CCL’s enviable benefits has always been the technical support we can provide to our customers, we want our customers to utilise our knowledge and feel comfortable that we are much more than just a ‘wholesaler’. As a Group, one of our clear goals is the reduction of carbon emissions, we feel our expansion of the CCL Solar distribution business allows us to achieve this as well as expanding our battery storage and energy generation products from Firefly Hybrid Power into different markets.

Staffing is set to increase across the Glasgow-headquartered group by 50% to 44 with immediate effect. Employment is set to rise to 75 people over the next few years. Renamed as Firefly Hybrid Power Ltd, its portfolio of clean energy products will be combined with CCL’s own recently developed Powerplus range of hybrid power systems to help the expanded business secure a larger share of the clean energy market. The new company will be managed by David Piper, a previous employee of Firefly, who has significant technical and sales experience in the sustainable energy sector. Director Paul R Brooks said: “This acquisition reinforces our commitment to Powerplus and the Renewables and Clean Tech sector across the globe. Our ambition is to achieve group turnover of more than £50 million – this move bolsters our ability to make that target a reality. “Governments and companies are increasingly prioritising improvements in air quality by reducing dependence on fossil fuels used in diesel generators. While the USA and Africa are clear targets, closer to home the UK and Scottish Governments are encouraging low-carbon investment and innovation. There are also growth opportunities for the CCL Energy Group with Firefly Hybrid Power products, both in the UK and beyond.” Firefly Hybrid Power Ltd. will lead future developments in the manufacturing division of the CCL Energy Group. The company will continue to design and build hybrid power systems for a range of applications, across a variety of sectors, to allow consumers to access power when and where it’s needed. Firefly products will continue to be developed to meet the needs of industrial and rental specifications, while the Powerplus range will provide hybrid power solutions for the fixed installation markets. CCL Energy Group will be able to introduce these products into new markets looking to reduce fuel costs, carbon emissions and improve air quality. Across all divisions, the group will continue to export its products across the world. Paul R Brooks added: “We aim to continue our investment in the Firefly Hybrid Power business both in the short and long term – adding key employees, improving existing products, and developing new products and services. This will enable us to become the leading supplier of hybrid power solutions. “High quality products have been at the heart of CCL’s vision since we started nearly 20 years ago. As we grow, this commitment to quality will remain at the forefront of everything we do. Merging Firefly and Powerplus products will change the way people think about energy use in a number of sectors” Recent Posts CCL opens a new facility in the Netherlands CCL Energy Group Makes Major Acquisition Recent Comments Archives September 2018 June 2017 Categories Latest News Meta Log in Entries feed Comments feed WordPress.org Head Office 1 Cairn Court, East Kilbride, Glasgow, G74 4NB 0800 091 4147 info@cclenergygroup.com Categories Latest News Social Media A SiteOrigin Theme
