Why solar makes sense for Care Homes in Devon
Care homes are among the UK’s highest energy consumers – and most exposed to rising energy costs. Solar energy offers a reliable, low-disruption way to future-proof your care facility, slash costs, and meet growing sustainability standards.
Whether you’re running a small nursing home or a large assisted living complex, Glo Renewables designs and installs systems tailored to your energy demands.
✔ Cut electricity bills
✔ Protect against power outages
✔ Improve your EPC rating
✔ Boost appeal to eco-conscious families
Built for care: designed to enhance resident wellbeing
We don’t just focus on the numbers. Our systems help care providers create better everyday environments for residents and staff alike:
Stable indoor temperatures – Critical for elderly health and comfort
Battery backup options – Ensure heating and medical systems stay on during power cuts
Quiet operation – No loud generators disrupting rest or recovery
Cleaner air – Lower emissions mean better respiratory health indoors and out
Care home marketing, reputation
Solar isn’t just practical – it’s a powerful signal. In a competitive care market, your green credentials can help you stand out.
✔ Attract sustainability-conscious families
✔ Stand out on care platforms
✔ Showcase environmental leadership

The team at Glo Renewables have been great! Dan took time to explain everything thoroughly and gave us some quality advise going forward. New Consumer unit and lights rewired throughout as well as extra jobs we kept adding. I would 100% recommend Glo and will be having the back for future work without question!
We are very pleased with the installation of our solar panels by Glo Renewables. We chose to use them as Storm impressed us with his enthusiasm and knowledge, giving us much more information in a way that we could understand compared to other companies who gave similar quotes. From our initial enquiry to completion of the installation we have been impressed with their professionalism, and attention to detail. The whole team were friendly and considerate so that there was minimum disruption, and our business could continue as normal while the work was carried out. Everything was completed efficiently and smoothly to a high standard. We are thrilled with our system and would not hesitate to recommend Glo Renewables.
We are very pleased with our panels and battery and would highly recommend Glo Renewables, the team were all very knowledgeable and considerate.
We have recently had an array of 10 panels and battery fitted by Glo Renewables. The whole process was dealt with smoothly. They worked with the roofers to co-ordinate the various stages of the installation. Any disruption was kept to a minimum and the work couldn't have been tidier. We're very happy to be generating at least some of our own electricity . Thanks to Storm and the team.
Fantastic company to deal with! Both Storm and Charlie are friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable. They went out of their way on several occasions to help us on our new-build project. We now have an outstanding solar & battery set up which will surely keep us going for years to come. Thanks again lads!
I have been looking for a local company to install solar panels for a very long time. Glo renewables were recommended to us and so glad they were. Professional , helpful , knowledgeable and excellent customer service and workmanship . All really nice guys and even after panels installed Storm still checks in to make sure all ok. Thank you to the whole team for doing such an amazing job . In these times it’s unusual to get such dedication, professionalism and all round excellent customer service from the initial phone call and after sales. I have no hesitation in recommending this company absolutely amazing . Thank you guys 🤩🤩🤩
We recently used Storm and his team for a 15KW commercial installation. I was pleased with their friendly customer service throughout the process. The installation was punctual and the workmanship was to a high standard. The site was left clean and tidy.
The after sales service was excellent, I was struggling to find a solar contract that paid well and Glo took the time to find me a good commercial deal, which paid much better than the ones I had found myself.
Storm took time to explain the workings of the meters etc after installation and I am sure that if I have any queries going forward, he would be happy to help.
I am very pleased that I chose to go with Glo; they are very professional yet approachable and I would highly recommend.

Thanks to Charlie, Storm and the team at Glo Renewables, we now save a lot of electricity costs and are doing our bit to save the planet as well. From sorting out our dodgy electrics to proposing and installing a battery system to go with our existing solar panels, their friendly and competent service has totally impressed us.
Highly recommended!
Highly recommended!
I approached three companies for quotes for a solar and battery installation. Of the three Glo Renewables were the only ones to offer me different options to choose from. They talked me through the pros and cons of each one and what would be involved in each case. I was very impressed with their knowledge and the way they were able to put it across so that I could understand it.
Once we had agreed a contract they started the paperwork process on my behalf. The installation itself which happened a couple of weeks later was very professional and the attention to detail beyond belief.
After the system was commissioned they filled out the rest of the paperwork on my behalf and guided me through using the GivEnergy app and website to manage the system.
Charlie, Storm, Len and George are a truly professional team who I would recommend to anyone.

I'm no newcomer to the solar market, but having moved to Paignton with a South facing roof, it was a no brainer ! I obtained 3 quotes, however local service is key, professionalism too, GLO offers both in abundance. There is a downside to buying cheap, from national suppliers, don't make that mistake .
Putting that basic issue to one side, we have a battery backup system with our 16 panels, providing full electric supply to our property and we get £100-120 per month back for export excess power, that offsets our forthcoming gas bills for the winter.
We are self sufficient now, irrespective of price rises on energy - a sensible investment for the future, assisted by GLO and installed in a clean professional manner.
I don't normally send reviews, but to be fair, they deserve it ....

Our panels and battery were installed over a year ago and have been faultless! Storm and Charlie were fantastic - friendly, efficient and helpful. I can’t recommend them highly enough!!
Well what can we say :- Great Company, Great People, Great Product ! A professional installation which has reduced our energy bill enormously. A big Thank You to Storm and his team - extremely pleased we chose your business for our needs! Kevin & Kathy
Charlie, Dan, Storm & George have fitted our in-roof solar panels whilst we were having a complete re roof. They are all very efficient, knowledgeable, friendly workers who have gone out of their way to fit the work in around our roofers after the job was bought forward. Great communication, extremely professional and we would definitely recommend glo renewables.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Extremely pleased with the system that Glo Renewables installed. The installation process was painless and the crew a delight to work with. Once commissioned the result has been astonishing with the storage battery 100% charged by 12 noon every day (OK, it's July and permanently sunny at the moment). We are exporting the lion's share of generation and now need to do something about variable tariffs to maximise the benefits. Glo have committed to helping me with this. So far we have generated 100% of our household needs and imported - nothing. Extremely pleased with the outcome and can't thank Glo Renewables enough for their professionalism, expertise and enthusiasm. Thanks you Glo and your team. Keep up the good work. Alan Langmaid
We have only 4 weeks ago had a solar panel system installed by Storm and the team, Charlie, George and Dan. They have been conscientious and professional since our first meeting with Storm at our home 2 months ago, they have been caring and mindful that my husband and I are pensioners and knew little or nothing about renewable energy. We would not have any reservations about recommending them, and in our eyes they are the best.
I was very happy to be asked by Storm, one of the 2 principals (the other being Charlie) to write a review of our recent solar panels and accompanying battery installation by them. I have been successfully self employed myself over 50 years and know a thing or two about knowing when you are dealing with a top class firm and these two professionals are without a shadow of a doubt, a top class firm. We knew absolutely nothing about solar only a few weeks ago, and these guys have guided us, advised us and crucially installed a fantastic system at a very fair price. If our experience is anything to go by, look no further than Storm and Charlie at Glo Renewables
Prompt, professional and pleasantly polite.
Have already recommended them to friends who were seeking advice about their pv panels.

I am starting this review with the fact that I would have no hesitation in recommending Glo Renewables. I already have solar panels and didn't know whether to add a battery or not. I was given very helpful information. There was no pressure in making a decision, and they didn't mind my questions. They helped me chose a battery that fitted my needs. The site was visited so that a suitable position for the battery that suited me was found. The installation is very neat and tidy. I have been visited to help me understand some of the technical side in relation to the app. and tariffs available with my energy supplier. They offer on going support. Glo Renewables to me appear a very happy, enthusiastic Team who care about what you want and how they and their work comes across.
I contacted Glo Renewables to help me with an installation that hadn't been completed properly. They have done a wonderful job of bringing it up to standard and providing me with all the certification I need. They are very professional, thorough and friendly - my whole experience has been so warm and positive - cannot recommend them highly enough!! Thank you again Storm and Charlie for doing such a brilliant job!
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.
The knowledge, service and attention to detail provided by Storm, Charlie and George before, during and after the solar and battery installation was first class. Their support in designing the system and suggestions given made the whole process stress-free. They all went above and beyond to ensure we were more than pleased with the end result.
I would whole heartedly recommend Glo Renewables.
Thank you.

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*
By comparison with other solar providers I’ve experienced, the team at Glo are exceptional. From the initial consultation through to handover, Storm, Charlie and their crew provided all the expertise, knowledge and confidence needed. Recommended without reservation.
Excellent and speedy service with a superb professional manner. I will be definitely be using them again in the near future. Thanks again team😁 (other companies can be flaky)
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.
Easily the best Solar Energy company that I've had dealings with. Professional, efficient, cost effective and friendly - a winning combination to say the least.
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.

In October, Glo Renewables took over TRESOC’s maintenance contract. They quickly identified and fixed problems that have plagued one of our large systems for years, and it is now running better than ever. Storm and Charlie are both fully qualified electricians, which is why I think they are so good. They have gone above and beyond what has been required of them in our dealings with them so far, and have demonstrated great interpersonal skills. I can’t fault their service and would happily recommend them.
Great experience with Glo-renewables from start to finish, excellent service during the installation and carrying on into the after sales service, which is greatly appreciated when dealing with a fairly complicated set up. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company.
An excellent experience from start to finish. Storm and Charlie could not do enough for us. A very tidy installation that adapted to our existing infrastructure perfectly. Highly recommended.
Storm and Charlie did a great job at our property. They listened to our requests whilst offering great advice that has increased the overall efficiency of our system, the work was completed to a really high standard. The site was left tidy and they even helped to fix a few other issues with the building outside the scope of the electrical work
Great Company to work with, very professional and accommodating. Work completed was to a high standard and great attention to detail.
Storm and Charlie take great pride and care in their service and would recommend them to anyone.
Storm and his team were professional, friendly and went above and beyond for us from the moment they came to give us a quote to the day they finished the work. The installation was carried out impeccably and they really took the time to make that we understand how to maximise our solar panel usage. I would highly recommend Glo Renewables to anyone thinking about switching to solar panels.
Charlie and Storm are extremely professional . We were very pleased with their work and their work ethic.
if you find them laughing occasionally , they’re not laughing at you,
They just LOVE their job
Feel free to come and have a look at Glo Renewables amazing job at The Hairy Barista in Totnes

Out of the several solar companies I approached for quotes, these guys were the only ones who really looked at my requirements and came up with a system to fully meet my needs. Being electric only with high usage and huge bills, even with an existing solar system, the design was not going to be simple.
Good communication throughout the design & install and great after-sales service & support. They may not have been the cheapest quote, but they were the only company to deliver a package that perfectly matched my needs.
Very happy with my system, three months since install now, and have saved well over £1000 in electricity bills over the last 3 months compared to the same period in 2022.
Would totally recommend Glo Renewables.

The installer was helpful and supportive before, during and after the installation. Each member of staff involved with the project was equally helpful. All questions by e-mail was answered swiftly and courteously. They dealt with the National Grid on my behalf and supplied documents quickly as the National grid process would allow. When any problem or issue was raised by phone or e-mail their response was supportive and this gave us a confident assurance that we were dealing with installers of a high calibre. The installation was achieved in just over a day and all connections were as we wished and to a highly professional standard as confirmed by a builder and electrician friend.
Great Company and I would highly recommend.
Storm/Charlie/George your knowledge between you guys was impeccable.
We had a Givenergy EV charger fitted November 2023 the installation was excellent and the guys were clean and tidy.
A true inspiration and well done Glo Renewables.
Thank you.

Having tried pretty much all the local options and found them seriously unable to communicate properly or even give a sensible quotation (sound familiar yet?) I came across Storm and Charlie who were a breath of fresh air. Attentive, good communicators, excellent sensitive installation and superb after service. Can't recommend highly enough.
Absolutely Thrilled with Solar Panel Installation!
I recently had the pleasure of having solar panels installed on my home, and I cannot express enough how delighted I am with the entire experience.
What really blew me away was the attention to detail from the team. The whole system looks fantastic, and it's clear they care about both quality and sustainability.
I must mention Charlie too, who is a credit to the business! What a pleasant chap, extremely knowledgeable and his attention to detail (along with the rest of the team in-fact) was second to none.
In a nutshell, this solar panel installation service was a win-win. If you're thinking about going solar, these guys are the way to go. I couldn't be happier.
Thank you Glo Renewables, I feel confident I have made the right choice for both my home and the environment!

Storm and Charlie have provided an excellent service in providing and installing solar panels, a battery and an EV charger. They explained our options clearly and suggested appropriate solutions for our particular requirements. Their installation was efficient and on-time and they were always cheerful, informative and responsive to our needs. There were teething problems with the equipment but they responded rapidly, kept us fully informed of developments, and ultimately found the necessary solutions. I would strongly recommend Glo Renewables for the installation of solar panel and EV charger systems.
We wanted to add significantly to our existing 16 panel solar installation. Extra panels (19), battery and compatible EV charger were on our shopping list
GloRenewables provided excellent support, service, value and advice from our initial enquiry, through the necessary approvals to a smooth installation and commissioning. The guys have been an absolute pleasure to work with and to have in our home. No issue has been too small for them to consider and their after sales commitment has, so far, been equally impressive. We would have no qualms in highly recommending Storm and Charlie - GloRenewables - to anyone contemplating either a new solar implementation or additions to existing.
They are definitely a 5* supplier!

Glo fitted a 6Kw array, inverter and a 9.5Kw battery. We are WSW facing and the performance of the system has been superb.
We live in a Victorian property with a fragile slate tile roof and were keen to work with a smaller more agile firm that could adapt their approach during the works if needed. We believed a large commercial firm would be less likely to give the job the attention it required.
We benchmarked the quote from Glo with local and national fitters and found it to be competitive. The professionalism and customer centricity of Glo really stood them apart.
The team at Glo have a great relationship with their scaffolders who in turn were very considerate when installing to avoid damaging our ancient Wisteria! Plant pots were carefully moved, benches relocated and the whole site left tidy.
The quality of the work from the Glo team was excellent with close attention to detail, taking extra time to make an incredibly neat and compact install, repairing tiles where possible, replacing where necessary. The supply cable was expertly hidden behind drain pipes etc to be essentially invisible. The inverter and battery install was well thought out for future servicing. Very impressive.
The post install support has been proactive and Glo have patiently supported me through the process of seeking approval for SEG payments.
Overall I would highly recommend Glo for similar projects.

Storm and Charlie from Glo were extremely knowledgeable and explained the process from installation and location of panels and battery through to using the app clearly. They consulted at every stage and made recommendations based on their previous experience. Overall a professional and friendly team who I’d highly recommend.
After having Glo install our solar panels, I'm very happy to highly recommend them. I found them to be very hard-working, punctual, pleasant and very knowledgeable about all aspects of the installation. Their attention to detail, such as adding a fire-board behind the battery, and using non-melting clips to keep power cables in place, was very impressive.
It was a pleasure to have them around for a few days and I'm delighted with the end result. It feels like we are definitely in safe hands!

Frequently asked questions about Solar Panels for Care Homes in Devon
Here’s some frequently asked questions about Solar Panels for Care Homes in Devon. Let us know if you have any other questions!
Most care homes break even within 2.4 to 2.8 years, depending on size and usage.
No. Installations are planned to minimise disruption and our systems are near silent during operation.
Yes. Solar is a proven strategy for reaching Grade C by 2027 and Grade B by 2030.
Modern solar panels last 25–30+ years, with performance warranties to match.
Not always—but we highly recommend it for care homes to maintain power during outages.
Solar energy systems generate clean electricity on-site, significantly reducing your reliance on the grid. This means lower and more predictable energy costs—even during peak usage months or energy price hikes.
Yes – in the best way possible. By switching to solar, you’re reducing CO₂ emissions and supporting a greener future. It’s one of the most effective steps you can take toward becoming a carbon neutral care provider.
Absolutely. With battery storage, your solar energy system can provide a dependable energy supply, even during power cuts—keeping critical medical equipment and heating systems running when they’re needed most.
It’s ideal. Our installations are low-noise, visually discreet, and designed to enhance comfort. Combined with cleaner air and stable indoor temperatures, solar supports healthier, more peaceful resident care environments.
