Meet The Team

Glo Renewables is a solar installation company based in Totnes, Devon, formed by Charlie Yabsley and Storm Lupson.

Charlie's Bio

Storm's Bio

I’ve run my own electrical company since 2014. Since then I’ve qualified as a Marine Electrical Technician, ran a microelectronics repair company, and provided electrical services across Devon.

Glo Renewables Ltd started in 2022. Looking at the solar market, I could see a big gap. There were lots of installers, but often this was coupled with poor customer service, poor communication and in some cases a substandard product.

Solar is a big purchase for most people, and I felt customers deserved more than someone turning up, fitting a system and disappearing afterwards.

Having met Storm, we quickly realised we had a very similar outlook on the solar market and both wanted to build a company that did things properly.
From the start, the aim with Glo has been to provide a high-quality and reliable electrical and solar installation experience, but also to make the whole process easier for the customer.

We’ve built a team of qualified, experienced, local and thoughtful installers who genuinely care about what they do and take pride in their work. We spend a lot of time looking at the quality of the products we install, how systems are designed and making sure the installation is something we’re happy to put our name to.
But the installation itself is only part of it.
A huge amount of work has gone into building the office and operational side of Glo. We have people dealing with applications, DNOs, paperwork, scheduling, customer questions and handover, rather than expecting the installers to try and manage everything themselves.

We’ve also worked hard on the systems behind the business, so customers are kept informed and jobs don’t just disappear into a diary somewhere.
The after-sales side is particularly important to us. Solar and battery systems are products people expect to own for many years, so if something goes wrong or a customer has a question six months or three years later, we want there to be someone there who actually answers the phone and helps.

Glo has grown considerably since 2022, but the idea behind it hasn’t really changed.
Good products, good workmanship, clear communication and looking after customers properly before, during and after the installation.
I love my work and I love what we’ve built.

We wouldn’t be where we are without the team around us and I feel lucky to have met and to work alongside such a great bunch of people.

With Charlie’s strong background in electrics and Storm’s background in solar energy, all of the solar services on offer come with a true understanding of the solar market and electrical wizardry.

The whole process was polite, well communicated and managed. All our questions were answered exceptionally well with accurate information. It wasn’t a simple install for us, but all our issues were dealt with professionally by the team of Glo-Renewables as they came across them. The install team worked very well together and the install was top-notch. We were left with a quality install and all the certifications that we needed to support our installation, all building and electrical certificates have been supplied without asking. We Highly recommend Glo-renewables!

Glo have been absolutely excellent. Ours was a rather complicated installation - Glo applied their minds to it and came up with a very good solution.
We thought their staff were great on site too. Highly recommended

I can't recommend Glo Renewables enough. From the initial visit to install to post install check-in they have been so knowledgeable, professional and a joy to deal with. The install team were so polite, clean and tidy. We are now a couple of months of post install and the solar is covering all our electricity needs (including running an electric car) and we are exporting to the gird. If you are thinking of solar give them a call

After ten years loyal service my inverter decided to give up in hot this year’s hot weather. Great if you like the smell of burning transformer might be worth checking yours. I called a few different companies who either never bothered to reply or wanted to sell me a new system with batteries, neither of which I wanted or needed.

Then I found Glo Renewables Ltd. Matthew, my first point of contact was great, really helpful and arranged for Chris the engineer to fit the new inverter shortly after. He arrived at nine in the morning and was finished by midday and a really nice bloke at that.

We all know it’s not that easy to find trades these days that are not only good at what they do but also understand the importance of great customer service at a realistic price. As a company I cannot recommend Glo Renewables highly enough.

Bottom line would I use them again? Defiantly!

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Glo Renewable Energy. From the initial consultation through to the installation and commissioning of my solar PV and battery storage system, the entire process was handled professionally and efficiently.

The team took the time to explain the different system options, answered every question thoroughly, and designed a solution that was tailored to my home’s energy needs rather than simply trying to sell the most expensive package. Communication was excellent throughout, with clear timelines and regular updates.

The installation team were punctual, friendly, and highly skilled. They worked neatly, treated my property with respect, and completed the installation to an exceptionally high standard. Everything was left clean and tidy, and they made sure I understood exactly how to monitor and get the most from my new PV and battery system before they left.

The quality of the workmanship is outstanding, and it’s reassuring to know the system has been installed by people who genuinely care about doing the job properly. It’s already satisfying to see my home generating its own electricity and storing excess energy for later use.

If you’re considering solar panels or battery storage, I would have no hesitation in recommending Glo Renewable Energy. Their professionalism, technical expertise, customer service, and attention to detail were first class from start to finish. An excellent local company that deserves every one of its five stars.

Highly recommended- excellent friendly, reliable & professional guys all round. Great App to understand what’s happening with the solar. Happy to show anyone what they’ve completed at our house .

Had solar fitted by Glo Renewables and honestly can't fault them. They came out to survey the roof and knew exactly what they were talking about, they worked around our opening times too. Even the export payment paperwork landed in my inbox before I'd thought to chase it. Service, communication and everything in between was spot on. In fact I was that happy with it all, I'm now getting them to do my house as well. Says it all really.

Now added extra panels and an additional battery pack. All installed without fuss and working well. The Glo team were as helpful as ever. Very genuine company, would recommend anyone looking for a solar solution to contact Glo for a quote.
