About Us

We are at the forefront in helping our local community in keeping energy affordable for all

Orton & Wenlock

Orton & Wenlock was established in 1925, originally operating as a building company before delivering new homes across the local area from 1966. In 1995, the business evolved into one of the leading electrical contractors in the South East, building the technical capability that underpins our work today.
That progression led naturally into renewable energy, with a clear focus on solar. Today, with over 10 years of experience delivering solar installations, we design and install systems for both commercial and domestic clients, with a strong emphasis on performance, reliability, and long-term return.
We are proud of our heritage, but our focus is firmly on the future — investing in the people, design capability, and system quality needed to deliver solar installations that perform properly and stand up over time.

why we focus on renewables

Our focus on renewable energy, and solar in particular, is driven by a clear commercial and practical reality. Energy has become one of the most unpredictable and controllable costs for both businesses and property owners.

Solar allows you to take back control. By generating electricity on-site, you reduce reliance on the grid, protect against rising energy prices, and create a more stable, predictable cost base. For commercial sites with consistent daytime usage, this often translates into a strong and measurable financial case.

We focus on solar because it delivers tangible outcomes. Lower operating costs, improved energy efficiency, and long-term return on investment, not just short-term savings.

Every system we install is designed around the property, usage profile, and financial objectives of the client. Whether for a business, agricultural site, or home, the goal is the same: a system that performs reliably, delivers clear value, and supports better long-term energy decisions.
