EPC Improvements Ltd is a Chelmsford-based renewable energy installer specialising in battery storage and solar PV systems for residential and commercial properties across Essex and the wider South East of England. The company holds both MCS certification and TrustMark accreditation, and has completed over 1,500 installations since its founding in 2016.

Operating with a design-led approach, EPC Improvements focuses on delivering whole-system renewable energy solutions that reduce running costs and carbon emissions. Rather than adopting a sales-driven model, the company emphasises technical consultation, clear advice, and long-term system performance to guide clients towards the most suitable solution for their property.

The company's installed base collectively produces approximately 4.3 GWh of energy annually whilst reducing around 2,200 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent emissions each year — figures that reflect a substantive and growing presence within the UK's renewable energy transition.
