  Super helpful and friendly team, we felt looked after the whole way through. We've not got a "standard" roof either, but the team came up with a plan and sorted us out on time and in budget. Very happy with the setup.

  We were recommended Glo by a good friend. Our property is over 100 years old and although it's been rewired in the past it wasn't up to modern day standards. We now are glad to recommended Charlie and Storm for a fantastic job done here in Paignton. Very professional job and work is second to none.. thanks guys 5*

  As someone who has been wanting solar PV for a long time and been in the industry for around 10 yrs, I was very pleased to find Glo Renewables. Their knowledge and customer service was excellent throughout our 6.8 kWp solar PV and smart charger installation. And their pricing was very competitive. I would thoroughly recommend them as an installer and I have already suggested to members of my family.

  I've had a great experience with Storm and Charlie from the outset. In our initial discussions, Storm showed great enthusiasm and a deep knowledge of and passion for his field, which was the factor that decided me in favour of Glo over similarly-priced competitors. Subsequent meetings strengthened this feeling, and the whole process went quickly and smoothly. Several times Storm went out of his way (and out of pocket) on his own initiative to ensure the system worked as well as possible, and when I noticed the output was lower than predicted after a few days, Storm didn't hesitate to look for possible reasons and solutions. A few years ago I had a similar situation with a PV system consistently underperforming over several weeks after install, and the installer grumpily told me to wait at least a year before coming to any conclusions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Glo to anyone who's thinking of installing or upgrading PV, home storage or EV charging.

  Decided to add Battery Storage to our existing Solar PV System. Approached several companies for help and advice. Glo Renewables stood out from Day 1 with their friendly, helpful approach and knowledge. Had lower quotes from elsewhere though decided to go with Storm, Charlie and the Team at Glo because of the way they helped and advised over the phone and in person. Installation Day went without a hitch and the area in our garage was tidier, cleaner after the install than before. Battery System in operation for a week now and gaining more understanding of how it all works daily with ongoing support from Storm & Charlie by phone. Nothing is too much for them. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Glo Renewables, Totnes, Devon.

Glo's Solar, EV charging, and battery technologies are the smartest business choice

renewable energy for businesses

Firstly, solar energy is a renewable and sustainable source of power, which means that it does not harm the environment or contribute to climate change. By harnessing the power of the sun, you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and help protect the planet for future generations

energy independence for your businesses

By generating your own electricity, you become less reliant on the grid and the power companies that provide it. This can be particularly valuable during power outages or other disruptions to the grid, as you will still have access to electricity from your solar panels. Additionally, being less dependent on the grid can help to reduce strain on the overall energy infrastructure, leading to more stable and reliable power for everyone.

save your business money

By installing solar panels on their roofs, homeowners can generate their own clean, renewable energy and potentially even sell excess energy back to the grid. With the decreasing cost of solar technology and the availability of government incentives, now is a great time for homeowners to invest in solar power.

Solar Panels in Devon: Environmental & Business Benefits

Solar panels have emerged as a sustainable solution that combines corporate environmental responsibility with financial savings in the global quest for renewable energy sources. The multifaceted benefits of solar panels in the UK are particularly advantageous for businesses, offering significant environmental and economic impacts. By adopting solar technology, companies can reduce their carbon footprint, meet regulatory requirements, and enhance their corporate image.

Additionally, businesses can achieve substantial cost savings on energy bills and take advantage of government incentives and subsidies, leading to improved profitability and long-term financial stability.

embracing solar energy for business

By harnessing solar energy through solar panels, we can tap into an inexhaustible, green, and renewable source of power. Solar panels transform sunlight into electricity, providing a way of energy generation that doesn’t pollute the atmosphere with harmful greenhouse gases or worsen global warming.

As we harness the sun’s power, we make a conscious commitment to future generations, ensuring the preservation of our planet’s natural resources and fostering a greener and more sustainable future.

solar panels: clean and renewable energy for businesses

Solar energy is unique in its ability to tap into an inexhaustible resource: sunlight. The sun’s energy is boundless and readily available, making it a reliable power source for homes and businesses. Unlike finite fossil fuels, solar power is renewable, ensuring an everlasting clean energy supply.

By turning to solar power, we can significantly reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, curb carbon emissions, and considerably impact the fight against climate change.

solar panels and their impact on business electricity bills

One of the most appealing financial advantages of solar panels is the significant reduction they can make to your electricity bills. By generating your electricity, you can substantially cut your reliance on the grid, leading to noticeable savings on your energy expenses.

Moreover, any excess electricity your solar panels produce can be fed back into the grid. Through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) in the UK, you can earn credits or even receive payments for this surplus electricity, further offsetting your energy costs.

solar advantage for businesses

Solar panels confer a degree of energy independence by generating electricity on-site. This reduces dependence on the grid and insulates homeowners from the volatility of energy prices.

positive environmental impact of solar panels on businesses

Solar panels contribute significantly to reducing our carbon footprint. They produce electricity without emitting greenhouse gases, which is essential in mitigating climate change. Additionally, solar panels require minimal water, thus conserving this precious natural resource.

Moreover, solar panels have a minimal impact on wildlife habitats, supporting biodiversity and ecological balance. By opting for solar energy, we protect the natural habitats of multiple plant and animal species, supporting biodiversity and ecological balance.

low maintenance and high durability

Solar panels are robust and durable, designed to withstand various weather conditions. They have minimal moving parts and require little maintenance, making them a reliable and cost-effective investment for a long-term basis. Most solar panel manufacturers offer generous warranties, providing homeowners with peace of mind regarding the longevity and efficiency of their solar panels.
