AES LIMITED
Company number SC084742 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
AES Limited is a profitable, cash-rich Scottish solar manufacturer with four decades of heritage, emerging from the Black Isle Renewables consolidation with net assets up 32% to £2.1M and working capital nearly tripled — a credible regional consolidator in a policy-supported growth market. The strategic imperative is to deploy its £963k cash position into further bolt-on acquisitions and adjacent technologies (storage, EV charging, heat pumps) before national players compress the segment. The watch-items are scale disadvantage, subsidy sensitivity, and clean execution of the integration under a transitioning leadership.
