The sight of silvery blue slices of photovoltaics clamped onto homes, hillsides, and office buildings has become a lot more common since your alarm:clock euro reporter moved to Europe more than a decade ago. And it is a trend that is going to continue -- at least that is the thinking behind the latest fundraising for a UK-based solar and thermal panel design and installation company Solarcentury Holdings.

It has raised £13.5M ($27M) from Good Energies and Zouk Ventures, joined by Vantania Holdings and Foursome Investments, along with existing investors VantagePoint Venture Partners and the utility Scottish and Southern Energy.

The company targets residential and commercial projects and is doing £13M in sales annually. It hopes to expand beyond its home market.
