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... See more

Excellent Project Management

I have been thrilled to have GB Sol on our projects. All aspects of their work have been good and the contracts management has been outstanding by Sam. Every detail has been considered and nothing is too much trouble. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Excellent service - a joy to work with

Working as a project manager I deal with many different companies and contractors across the UK with a particular focus in Wales. GB Sol and Samuel Baldwin in particular have been an absolute joy to work with - I now hold them as the gold standard for all companies I deal with in my job role. Sam has been my main point of contact in the last 6 months of our work together and he has always been happy to go above and beyond to deliver outstanding service. I find that no job has ever been too small and Sam has constantly kept in good communication with me to ensure I'm updated and satisfied with work being carried out on behalf of my clients, often going out of his way to help me with any issues that would arise. Alongside Sam, I have found the electricians at GB Sol great to work with - always fully engaged and happy to help when taking on training and installation of my company's devices. Everyone at the company has shown a great attitude to ensure the job is done to the highest standard and this has been instrumental in the success of my recent projects - a big shout out to the management at GB Sol and thank you all once again for everything! I recommend you highly to the management of my own company and hope our paths cross again in the near future.

Fantastic solar panel install

I Had a great experience with GB-Sol and a special mention to the two men who carried out the initial survey – their knowledge and thorough approach gave me complete confidence in the project right from the beginning. They took the time to assess everything properly and explained the process clearly. Would definitely recommend!

Extremely happy with our installation

Our whole experience went incredibly smoothly, from initial contact with John, through project management with Steve, and especially with installation by the electrician Tony, who also built a platform for the battery storage to sit on. We would heartily reccommend GB-Sol.

Really pleased with the install

Really pleased with the install. The electricians were fabulous they cleaned up afterwards thoroughly! Very polite and friendly. I had a few issues with the contracted roofers to which I complained directly to gb sol management who bent over backwards to help me.
The contracted scaffolding team were absolutely hilarious, great group of boys who made every day fun for my children and neighbours, they put safety first and made sure all gardens were swept and left clean.

Very happy with the standard of work…

Very happy with the standard of work completed by all contractors that attended to complete my install. Andrew and Jon the electricians were very polite, turned up on time and cleaned up after themselves. Would highly recommend this company *****

First Class Product, First Class Service

We were required to install solar slates (as opposed to regular solar panels) as a condition of our Planning approval, as we sit to the front of and between two listed properties.

We are delighted with them. They are unobtrusive to the extent that the unprepared eye doesn't even know they're there. A true premium product. We've only just started, but with our Tesla Powerwall 3 we are already seeing significant savings from the grid - and it's still only February.

GB Sol has been a pleasure to work with. Everyone we've dealt with, both remotely and here on site, has been approachable, helpful and efficient. We highly recommend them.

Great professional service.

All staff we have dealt with, including contractors, have been extremely professional and courteous. We were kept up to date throughout the process and have received all the details needed following installation of our new panels.

Brilliant advice from a knowledgeable team

*ADVICE ONLY review* I enquired for some roof tile solar panels, and spoke to a lovely gentleman called Ed, who was most helpful, giving me very useful information right there and then, didn't oversell or try and trap me into a product, in fact recommended other suppliers that could help me with what I was looking for. He was kind enough to advise on holding out to get a good overview of my usage, and what I should do to maximise my electricity bill. Unfortunately due to skylights in our roof, their product wasn't feasible for our home, but I would highly recommend speaking to the team, very knowledgeable.

After 3 years our roof still looks and performs like new.

Just about 3 years now since the roof was put on our newbuild home, and it still looks like new, and thanks to a software update last year performs even better than when first installed.
Aiming for as eco a home as possible, we decided to fit as many panels as possible on our south-facing roof elevation, and opted for an integrated panel solution from SolarEdge, recommended, supplied, and fitted by GB-Sol. 61 panels in total integrated into a zinc covering looks truly stunning. And this year our beautiful home won 2 design awards: RIBA's annual House of the Year - Southern region award, and the New Forest National Park Authority's annual design award (we also came second in the 'Green Building' category). Apparently we aren't the only ones who think it looks great.
With regard to performance, that is also awesome. In combination with a single 10kWh storage battery, on an annual basis we produce two thirds of our homes energy requirements, which includes keeping 2 electric cars charged and running.
Overall, we are extremely pleased with GB-Sol and would not hesitate to recommend their services.

RHA Community Project

This was a really good project and will help our group who rely on funding to keep the project going. By having the solar panels fitted this will help us to keep our costs down.
Tony Andrew and Leon who worked on the project were all very friendly and helpful.
We would like to thank them for all their work we really appreciate everything they did to make the project go smoothly.
