GB Solar Ltd - Worksop

Ian Donald

Having an ideal south facing roof I decided to investigate the possibility of installing solar panels and battery storage to reduce my energy bills. Knowing little about the technology I contacted a dozen or more companies to see what they offered. I was bombarded with emails and telephone calls offering free quotations, video consultations and appointments. Some sent quotations using a Google Earth image of the house without even contacting me to assess my requirements!

Right from the first telephone call, GB Solar stood out from the rest. Steve Brown took an interest in what I wanted to achieve and was very keen to come and survey the house personally. He explained how they could help, where all the equipment would be sited and prepared a couple of proposals based on my energy consumption. Only one other company came close in repect of the personal service but their proposal was inferior to that offered by GB Solar so there was no contest.

Once I placed the order I was kept fully informed when the installation would take place and it was commenced on the agreed date. The installation of the battery and inverter in the garage is extremely neat and tidy and still leaves plenty of room for the car! All the installation team were professional and the work was completed within 2 days. A slight issue with the wi-fi signal in the garage was resolved quickly with help from Josh.

I have been delighted with the installation from start to finish and would not hesitate to recommend GB Solar to anyone considering solar panels and/or battery storage. I have used practically no electricity (5 kWh) from the grid in the month since it was installed and am quite amazed by the energy it generates in a summer which has been the worst for sunshine I can ever remember! Not only am I using practically no electricity from the grid I am exporting all the surplus which will contribute towards my gas bill. The GivEnergy app controlling the system is superbly easy to use and provides a mine of information about how the energy is being used. I am very pleased to award 5 stars to GB Solar for a faultless transaction.

I recently had the pleasure of working with GB Solar on the installation of a triple array solar PV system with battery storage, and I must say, the experience exceeded all expectations. From the initial consultation with the Sales Manager, Steve, to the final installation, the team at GB Solar demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and exceptional customer service. All questions were promptly answered by Steph in the office, and the full certification and hand over documentation were swiftly sent over once available.
The installation process itself was nothing short of excellent. The roofer, Jack, did the hard work up top, Dan and George did the clever bit in the garage and Josh oversaw the full project and carried out all the testing for the certification. Not only did they complete the job in a timely manner, but they also paid great attention to detail, resulting in a finished product that not only functions flawlessly but also looks incredibly tidy.
Overall, my experience with GB Solar was nothing short of exceptional. The entire team's dedication to excellence, combined with their expertise and professionalism, made the process smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend GB Solar to anyone looking for top-notch solar solutions and outstanding customer service.

Their customer service truly sets GB Solar apart.
From my first interaction with GB Solar, I was impressed by their friendly and knowledgeable team.
Our initial contact via telephone, during which we discussed various options and I had the opportunity to ask numerous questions. The team promptly answered all my queries and provided a detailed quote along with a full property design within just a few hours.
They handle all the necessary paperwork, including Mcs and G99, and guide you through the steps related to your electricity provider and DNO.

When making a significant purchase like solar installation, it’s essential to obtain multiple quotes. GB Solar’s pricing was competitive, but what truly stood out was their commitment to going the extra mile. They ensured that I was completely satisfied with every aspect of the quote.

If you’re considering solar energy, I highly recommend giving Gareth and the GB Solar team the chance to provide you with a quotation. Their support before, during, and after installation is exceptional, and there are no pushy sales tactics. Plus, their pricing is very competitive.

From the scaffolders to the onsite installers, the entire experience has been a pleasure.

A big thanks to everyone at GB Solar for a top notch installation in a challenging space!

From the initial engagement, to me dropping a “let’s replace the old consumer unit” suggestion, and then to installation GB Solar excelled.

Highly competent, experienced and friendly - I have no hesitation in recommending them for an end to end home energy system.

I don’t usually do reviews as I expect a good product and service as a matter of course. However when I encounter an exceptional company I like to let everyone else in on the information.
GBsolar are just this type of company, I had a system of battery storage and Solar PV array installed.
From the very first contact the communication with sales and technical was first class, with several options being regarded and proposals raised the final decision was made, site visits were arranged, permissions were applied for and installations set to begin. The install team were professional and respectful and delivered a quality job. Start to finish was about 2 weeks !
The final documentation quickly followed, and now a few months later the system has been faultless.
Highly recommended.

I can highly recommend the whole team at GB Solar and Warm GB. They allowed time to listen to my requirements and provided me with competitive quotes both for PV array with a battery storage and heat pump installation. Once all was agreed and questions answered the install time was quick and professional. Overall I'm very happy with the work done as everything works fabulous.

GB Solar Ltd were recommended to me by a good friend and what a great choice they turned out to be. I had previously shopped about for a battery system to complement my solar panel system and GB Solar Ltd were the most competitive on the market. From day one Gareth was very helpful with all of my questions and responded in a timely manner, was friendly and also honest. Placing an order was effortless and they booked me in as quickly as possible for an install. On the day of the install the two lads that came to install the system were polite and respectful and went about their day to day business professionally whilst at the same time were very happy to stop and answer any questions I had about the system being installed. There were no issues with the commissioning of the battery and the very next day when the sun came out the battery started to charge to full capacity and from that point forward it was free electricity and my investment was already starting to pay back for itself. Josh was quick to give me a call the very next day to ask if everything had gone to plan and was there to support with any questions or help I may need with the app. A good, reputable company proving an industry proven system with good warranty. Fully recommended from a very happy customer.

Everyone was very helpful - from the start. Steve who came to do a home visit did a very thorough review of requirements. Took time to explain and answered all the questions. Even went up to the loft. There was no pushy sales tactics. Timely communication throughout. There was a supply issue with the Solar panels - alternative solar panels were suggested - again detailed discussion about differences. The installation team led by Josh was excellent. Everything went smoothly. Would recommend.
