If you run accommodation, glamping, a café, farm shop or visitor attraction, you will know that growth also brings rising and increasingly complex energy demands. Solar PV, battery storage, heat pumps and EV charging can help you reduce those costs, improve the visitor experience and, where public charging suits your site, generate additional income. 

Installing solar panels, battery storage or EV charging does not always require a large upfront investment. Depending on your business, location and project, support may be available through grants, interest-free loans, commercial finance, leasing or fully funded energy agreements.

East Lothian-based sustainable energy specialist Gensource has made its first move into professional sport sponsorship by backing rising Scottish golf star Matty Wilson. The Musselburgh-headquartered business has teamed up with the 26-year-old for the 2026 season, in the process cementing a close family bond with the former North of Ireland Amateur Open Champion, a title he won at Royal Portrush in 2024. Currently competing on the Tartan Pro Tour, Matty is the younger brother of Gensource co-founder Robert Wilson, himself a scratch golfer.

Sustainable energy specialist Gensource has strengthened its residential offering in Scotland with the acquisition of Perth-based Solar Kingdom. Founded in 2009, Solar Kingdom brings 17 years of continuous experience in domestic solar installations and now operates as part of the Musselburgh-headquartered Gensource Group. The deal marks Gensource’s first acquisition since the business was established by Josh King and Robert Wilson in late 2022.

Gensource’s expanding footprint in the sustainable energy sector has been recognised with the Musselburgh-based company shortlisted for SME of the Year at the Midlothian & East Lothian Chamber of Commerce Business Awards (MELCC). The nomination marks a potential hat-trick of award success for the business, following its High Growth Business of the Year win in 2025 and New Business of the Year the previous year.

Leading Scottish sustainable energy specialist Gensource has announced its expansion as a charge point operator (CPO) with the completion of its first fully managed commercial EV project at Archerfield Estate in East Lothian. The Musselburgh company delivered the infrastructure and will also operate the charging network on an ongoing basis at the Archerfield Walled Garden, the extensive 18th Century property which hosts a popular café, shop, food market and children’s play park.

Gensource is delighted to announce that we have been officially selected by BBC Scotland as the subject of a brand-new docuseries exploring the realities, and the comedy, of modern Scottish working life, both in the office and out on site.

Students, apprentices and tradespeople came together at Fife College’s Dunfermline campus on 12 March for Working in Solar: Careers, Skills and Opportunities, a free event highlighting the growing need for skilled people in Scotland’s solar sector.

Gensource, the Musselburgh-based sustainable energy specialist, has expanded into a new headquarters in response to growing demand. Measuring over 1200 sq. ft., the firm’s new base in Newhailes Business Centre is more than double the size of its original home in the East Lothian town.
