Fantastic company

Fantastic company, with good aftersales service.

I had an issue with the company that installed GB-Sol's PV roof (they did not even install it square!). GB-Sol really supported me in resolving the issue.

GB-Sol: Enormously helpful

As we live in a 5-storey listed building, we cannot install solar panels on its roof. So we wanted to build a structure to support a solar roof in a remote part of the garden and use the space under it as a barn to store garden machinery. We were attracted by GB-Sol's "whole roof" designs and solar slates that are virtually invisible. Their Rhiannon and Mark helped us enormously with technical advice, an honest shade test, introductions to builders and numerous quotations. In the end, we prioritised higher performance over aesthetics but it was a close run decision and still subject to planning.

invisible solar panels and a great service from GB-Sol

We have just moved into a home which had a GB-sol product installed already. GB-Sol have provided us with a great service, attending our property, servicing the solar panels, explaining how it all works - Paul the service engineer was fantastic. Furthermore we were given very helpful advice from Mark about installing storage batteries - could not have asked for more and we now feel fully informed about the pros and cons of storage batteries to complement our solar panels.
Our solar panels are beautiful - they look just like slate tiles on our roof and no-one can tell we even have solar panels at all. Definitely worth considering if someone is concerned about the appearance of conventional solar panels

Great Product & Service

Really happy with our solar system, they do the job and do not look unsightly. Our installation is on a listed building so it needed to be approved and also blend in, which they do. Now we have kept the look of the building period as well as being able to reduce the electricity bill. What's not to like !

Very happy with the service received and trust the system will serve us well in the years to come

We had great service from Mark and his Team. They were very professional and friendly. Our solars were installed and linked to the grid without any issues. We’re really pleased with the work and our array of solar panels.
Thank you Mark and Team 🤗

Was a miscommunication at the start of…

Was a miscommunication at the start of the work being done, we wasn’t told the scaffolding team were coming or that work was starting the next day, man in charge was very apologetic about this and made sure we were communicated with going forward.

The team installing the panels were extremely professional and friendly, were able to answer any questions we had, work was completed in a timely manner and the team made sure to clean up after themselves

Would definitely recommend this company

NOTHING BUT PRAISE.

Right from that first phone call, Danny Finlay and his team have been outstanding. Danny was ALWAYS available to answer my phone calls and visit the site regularly- his professionalism, attention to detail, expertise and dedication to quality ensured the whole process from quotation to installation and MCS certification, was seamless and stress free. I cannot thank Danny enough!

Throughout the process, GB-Sol and Danny Finlay kept us in the loop. They communicated with regular updates right up to the final MCS certificate approval and gave insightful advice on SEG applications and maximising savings. The electricians were tidy, polite and pleasant. I was then handed over to Jack, who took time to explain the app (virtually) and assured me that they would be keep an eye on it remotely too, to make sure that it was all in perfect working condition. Danny oversaw my project from start to finish and made sure it was all smooth sailing.

With these solar tiles that look very similar to my slate tiles, I now have a system that is cutting edge technology, tailored to my needs and gives me much confidence in my purchase.

I would highly recommend GB-SOL for solar tiles.

Thanks Pierluigi, great to hear you're happy with the finished look of the PV Slates.

Very professional company

the process was made simple with the unput from their design team
The only thing I would improve was the information relative to exporting surplus energy to your electricity supplier

Solar Panels Installed

The company kept me well informed of the disruption which was kept to a minimum, the workmen were respectful and I found that the work was completed in a timely manner, the scaffolding was up for around 9 days as per schedule and removed efficiently over a weekend. Apologies cannot remember exact date of installation, know it was this year.

Solar can save you money

Everyone was friendly kind
Keep me informed about who was doing what work and when they be calling at the property
Each job was done with kindness care and they cleaned up any mess if they had made some . I wasn't sure about having solar panels but to be honest I'm very grateful now I have them I have saved a little money and recommend them to others if looking and unsure about them they are fitted very quickly within a few days after checks on property so if your not sure about it believe me they are worth it
