⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Glowsolar deserve their '5 star' rating. Having been 'burnt' with a solar company before, we were jaded. Keir from Glowsolar presented at a local seminar. Without any hard sell, he did a site survey of our current system, and then advised on how we could expand it to best effect. We now have a 19KW system and a 28kWh Tesla powerwall 3 battery setup - and the whole process has been seamless. Great communication throughout - be that from Keir, his team, or Alice in the office. A top example of proper quality - workmanship and service at a really pragmatic and realistic price.

If you want solar and work or live in Cumbria/ Lancs/ North Yorkshire, then just go straight to Glowsolar; you wont be disappointed.

We’ve been busy! Integrated panels, panels on slate, panels on tiles, groundmount panels, panels on new roofs, wiggly roofs and today we’re on a huge barn roof. Tea and biscuits keeping us fuelled! 💪🏻⚡️🔋☀️

You can install a Tesla Powerwall inside or on an outside wall. They are incredibly good value at the moment and one of the top products on the market - with 13.5kWh of battery storage and the ability to offer back-up power during power cuts 🔋⚡️

As ever, our electrician DS Electrical does a quality, neat and tidy job.

Lets talk about Limpets/A Slates. These things are an absolute menace. Do not entertain any installer that proposes to fit these to your roof. As you can see the system basically consists of finding your rafter, then screwing through your slate (and membrane), and then using a couple of globs of CT1 to seal it back up.

This roof had recently been replaced, probably £30000+ of work, then Moronsolar has come along and turned it into swiss cheese. Look at the massive gap where water can blow onto the "sealed" screw hole, look how close the fixing point on the limpet itself is to the bond of the slates, in rough weather water will 100% get to the hole thats been created in your roof, and then you're relying on a bit of poorly applied CT1 to stop it coming in, and then the installers have put 40 of these weak points in your roof. 🤔

The reason installers like them? Because it quick, because doing it properly is hard work and it takes a couple of days, as opposed to hours. This means they can undercut companies like ours that are doing it properly.

They may have passed BRE testing on a perfect roof, applied in the dry with half a tube of CT1 to a brand new clean slate. But what happens when they are out "in the wild", applied on a wet day to dirty mossy slate? How does CT1 seal then? What happens after 5 years? Hows it doing after 10? Mark my words there will be an epidemic of systems getting removed to fix the issues these will cause. When I first started in 2010 a similar system was rightly banned, this variation on the theme has somehow got its MCS certification and they'll be plenty out there have a miserable solar experience because of it.
