What We Do & Who We Are - AceOn in a Nutshell

AceOn Group was founded in 2010 by the Thompson family in Solihull, building on a legacy of success in battery innovation that dates back to the 1990s in the West Midlands. In 2012, AceOn expanded by acquiring the Univercell Battery Company, consolidating all manufacturing operations at its Telford facility, an established production site active since 1993. This gives the business over three decades of hands-on battery design and production expertise.

As a proudly family-run company, AceOn stands out for its approachable, personal service, offering care, flexibility, and responsiveness often missing from larger corporate players.

What sets AceOn apart is the unique depth of experience its leadership brings, combining technical insight with strategic vision. With a senior team that spans public and private sector backgrounds, AceOn draws on unmatched knowledge of battery storage, energy systems, and renewables to deliver cutting-edge power solutions for a cleaner future.

We operate our business across two primary divisions: Energy Storage Systems & Projects and Custom Battery Pack Manufacturing and Distribution, explained below.

Energy Storage Systems & Renewable Energy Projects

For over a decade, as one of the UK’s leading battery storage companies, AceOn has been at the forefront of advancing battery energy storage systems (BESS) across the UK, helping organisations unlock the full potential of renewable energy.

A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) enables you to capture, store, and control energy generated from sources like solar and wind. It provides greater energy independence, reduces reliance on the grid, and maximises the value of your clean energy investments.

AceOn offers a comprehensive range of scalable commercial and industrial BESS solutions, from 100kW and 200kW systems to large-scale 500kW, 1MW, 2.5MW, and 5MW+ installations. Whether you operate on or off the grid, our expert team can design, engineer, and deliver a system tailored to your needs.

Our high-efficiency modular systems seamlessly integrate into new or existing energy infrastructure, lowering operational costs, boosting sustainability, and accelerating your return on investment. Let AceOn help power your future with flexible, intelligent storage solutions.

Recent Projects & Exciting Developments

Case Study: RESTORE UK

In recent years, we have been involved in numerous exciting projects, none more so than RESTORE, a UK first in clean vessel technology.

The RESTORE project (Retrofittable Propulsion System for Electric Vessels with Hydrogen Range Extender) has pioneered one of the UK’s first hybrid hydrogen-battery electric propulsion systems for commercial vessels.

We were challenged to retain the vessel’s original diesel setup while integrating a new, eco-friendly electric propulsion system. This involved installing dual battery banks, charged at sea by an onboard hydrogen-powered generator.

We used hydrogen tanks to supply fuel to a generator that charges one battery bank, while the other powers the vessel’s electric motor. When the active battery runs low, the system seamlessly switches, maintaining continuous propulsion and charging, enabling zero-emission operation.

In 2025, we, along with our partners, conducted successful sea trials in the North Sea, including a journey to EDF Renewables’ Blyth wind farm, which proved the concept’s effectiveness. This retrofit offers a scalable, clean solution shaping the future of maritime transport.

Chi Onwurah MP, Chair of the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee, recently toured the vessel:

“It was absolutely fantastic to step onboard one of the UK’s first hydrogen/battery-powered retrofitted boat, which paves the way for marine developments across the world. Forward-thinking, innovative technology solutions, such as the RESTORE project, are transformative and can revolutionise the maritime industry.”
