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.

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.

History of Ashburton, Devon

Ancient Settlement and Saxon Roots

Ashburton, nestled on the southern edge of Dartmoor, traces its origins back to Saxon times. Its name likely derives from an Old English term “Æsc-burna”, meaning “stream lined with ash trees.” By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, it was a well-established manor and one of just four official stannary towns in Devon, granted the right to assay and stamp tin for trade.

Stannary Town & Tin Mining Hub

Between the Middle Ages and the early modern era, Ashburton grew thanks to its key role in Dartmoor’s tin mining. As a stannary town, it had its own court and guildhall, serving as the main hub for local miners. The tin trade brought wealth and growth, making Ashburton one of Devon’s leading inland towns.

Markets, Wool Trade & Industry

Besides tin, Ashburton was also known for its busy markets and wool trade, especially in the 16th and 17th centuries. Merchants and craftsmen built stylish townhouses, many of which still stand along the narrow streets. Fulling mills and dyeing houses by the River Ashburn boosted the town’s industry.

Coaching Town & Turnpike Route

During the 18th and early 19th centuries, Ashburton was an important stop on the Exeter to Plymouth road. Its coaching inns were busy with travelers and mail coaches, and the town grew, mixing Georgian style with its older buildings. When the railway arrived in 1872, Ashburton became an even stronger link between Dartmoor and the rest of Devon.

Victorian Prosperity & Civic Pride

In Victorian times, Ashburton added more schools, chapels, and public buildings to its historic streets. The Ashburton Town Hall, built in 1850, still shows the town’s pride and strong community spirit. Education thrived too, and the town became known for its grammar school.

Cultural Life, Politics & Radical Roots

Ashburton has always had a big impact on culture and politics for its size. It was home to John Dunning, 1st Baron Ashburton, an important 18th-century leader who stood up for civil rights. In the 20th century, artists, musicians, and free thinkers were attracted to its creative spirit and the beauty of Dartmoor.

Today’s Ashburton

Today, Ashburton is a lively town that blends its history with creativity. Its high street is full of independent shops, antique stores, local food producers, and craft galleries. With its medieval, industrial, and cultural past still clear in its buildings and feel, Ashburton attracts visitors looking for history and community. Its closeness to Dartmoor and strong roots as a stannary and market town make it a real highlight of inland Devon.
