About GB Solar
Reliable. Experienced. Professional. Local.
At GB Solar, we believe solar panels and battery storage are more than just a way to reduce energy bills. They are a long-term investment in your home, your business, your energy independence and the future of the planet.
Based in Worksop, North Nottinghamshire, we are proud to be a trusted local solar company serving homeowners and businesses across Retford, Worksop, Mansfield, Rotherham, Sheffield, Lincoln, Nottingham, York, Hull, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire and the East Riding.
In a fast-moving and often volatile renewable energy market, customers need more than a company that can install solar panels. They need a company that will still be here when they need advice, aftercare, maintenance or support. Many solar installers have come and gone, but GB Solar has stayed the course by focusing on quality workmanship, honest advice and long-term customer relationships.
Solar PV and Battery Storage Specialists You Can Trust
We are a family-owned solar PV and battery storage company with genuine in-house expertise and more than 40 years of combined experience in the renewable energy industry. From your first consultation through to installation, handover and ongoing support, you deal with a knowledgeable team that genuinely cares about getting the right result for your property.
We do not believe in pushy sales tactics, confusing jargon or one-size-fits-all systems. Every home and business is different, which is why we take the time to understand your energy usage, your roof space, your budget and your long-term goals before recommending a solar PV, battery storage or EV charging solution.
Whether you are looking for solar panels in Worksop, battery storage in Retford, a solar PV installer in Mansfield, or a complete renewable energy system for a business in Sheffield, Rotherham, Lincoln or Nottingham, our team is here to help you make an informed decision with confidence.
No Subcontractors. No Passing the Job Around.
One of the biggest differences with GB Solar is the way we work. We offer genuine in-house knowledge, experienced installation teams and a personal level of service that many larger, sales-led solar companies simply cannot match.
Your project is not passed from salesperson to subcontractor to call centre. Instead, you are supported by the GB Solar team from start to finish. That means clearer communication, better accountability and a higher standard of care throughout the whole process.
Our team designs, installs, tests and explains your system properly, so you know exactly how everything works before we leave. We also remain available after installation, helping customers with monitoring apps, system performance, paperwork, export tariffs and future upgrades.
Built on Quality, Not Quick Sales
Solar is a long-term investment, and the installer you choose matters.
A well-designed solar PV and battery storage system can reduce your reliance on the grid, protect you from rising electricity costs and help you make better use of the clean energy your property generates. But the quality of the installation, the products used and the aftercare you receive are just as important as the panels on your roof.
At GB Solar, we work with trusted solar and battery storage manufacturers and install systems designed to perform for years to come. We are proud to offer solar solutions that are practical, efficient and built around the way our customers actually use energy.
Our aim is simple: to deliver renewable energy systems that work properly, look professional and continue to deliver value long after installation day.

A Solar Company That Cares After Installation
Our relationship with customers does not end once the panels are fitted.
We take pride in supporting our customer base proactively, whether that means helping you understand your monitoring app, checking system performance, advising on battery storage upgrades, helping with export tariff guidance or being available if you have a question months or years after your installation.
That long-term support is one of the reasons so many of our customers recommend GB Solar to friends, family and neighbours. We care about doing the job properly, but we also care about making sure customers feel looked after once the system is up and running.
