Could you provide a brief overview of Praxia Energy and its presence in the UK market?
Praxia Energy is a Spanish company specialised in the design and manufacturing of structural systems for photovoltaic plants. Since our foundation in 2006, we have expanded our activities to more than 44 countries. The UK has been a strategic market for us since 2011, where we have successfully completed more than 80 projects with an installed capacity of over 70 MWp. To date, we have exported more than €30 million worth of photovoltaic structures to the UK, establishing ourselves as a leading company in the UK photovoltaic structures market.
As a new Patron of the Chamber, what benefits do you hope to gain from our collaboration?
As a new Patron of the British Chamber of Commerce in Spain, we hope to strengthen our relationships within the UK business community and gain greater visibility in the renewable energy sector. We aim to develop new strategic partnerships, increase our networking opportunities and gain insight into the latest market trends. We believe that this collaboration will support our growth in the UK market and help us to contribute to the Chamber’s mission of promoting economic and trade relations between Spain and the UK.
What key values define your company, and how are these values integrated into your daily operations and customer interactions?
Our core values are innovation, sustainability, quality, and customer-centricity. These values guide every aspect of our operations, from the design and manufacturing of photovoltaic structures to the personalised service we provide our clients. Innovation is at the heart of our approach, as demonstrated by our collaboration with the University of Oviedo in wind tunnel testing to ensure the durability and efficiency of our structures. Our customer-focused
approach ensures that we offer bespoke engineering solutions and flexible financing options, fostering long-term relationships.
How does Praxia Energy differentiate itself from competitors in the UK banking sector, and what specific strategies do you employ to enhance your market position?
Praxia Energy differentiates itself from competitors by offering customised photovoltaic structures with a strong focus on quality and durability. To achieve this, our structures undergo rigorous wind tunnel testing, a facility in which we are investors alongside the University of Oviedo. This process allows us to offer warranties of up to 40 years, demonstrating the reliability of our structures. Additionally, to secure our position in the market, we participate in key industry events such as Solar & Storage Live and leverage digital platforms like LinkedIn (where we have over 10,000 followers) to increase our visibility and strengthen relationships with our clients.
What is Praxia Energy vision for the future, and what specific strategies or actions are you implementing to achieve it?
Praxia Energy’s objective is to expand its presence to an increasing number of countries. To achieve this, we are making significant investments in R&D to improve our technologies, allowing us to further improve the quality of our structures and reduce costs. This enables us to continue growing and strengthening our relationships with both suppliers and clients. To encourage the contracting of new projects, we offer financing options of up to three years. This not only differentiates us from our competitors but also makes it easier for our clients to access our services.
