Home Energy Systems, Designed as One
Complete systems, not individual products
Every Glow system is built to the highest industry standards and design principles
Designed as a system, not a stack of products
Most home energy installations are built by combining individual products — panels, batteries, and inverters — and hoping they work well together.
Glow takes a different approach.
Every Glow system is designed as a single, integrated whole. Components are selected, sized, and configured in relation to one another, ensuring the system operates in balance rather than as a collection of parts.
The result is a calmer, more reliable system that performs consistently and avoids the compromises common in product-led installations.
One integrated home energy system
Glow Homes doesn’t install individual components.
We design complete home energy systems — where solar generation, battery storage, grid connection and home energy use are planned together as a single, balanced whole.
Every decision is made at system level, not component level. This ensures reliability today, flexibility tomorrow, and no dead-ends as homes electrify.
At the centre of every Glow system is a hybrid inverter and battery, managing how energy is generated, stored, and used throughout the home.
- Solar generation feeds the system when available
- Battery storage provides resilience, control, and independence
- The grid connection remains available when needed
- Home loads are supplied intelligently and automatically
- Monitoring supports visibility and optimisation, without being critical to the operation
This same architecture underpins every Glow system we design.
High-efficiency solar generation
Glow systems are built on premium, high-efficiency solar panels selected for performance, longevity, and visual quality.
Rather than offering multiple panel options, Glow standardises on best-in-class technology across all systems — ensuring consistent output, fewer panels per roof, and a cleaner overall installation.
Panel layout and total generation capacity are designed specifically for each roof, taking into account orientation, shading, and available space. The goal is always the same: maximise usable generation without compromise.
Solar generation is not treated as a standalone component, but as the foundation of the wider Glow system.
Designed around storage from day one
At Glow, storage isn’t an optional extra. It’s a fundamental part of how every system is designed.
By starting with storage, Glow systems are able to store energy when it’s generated, use it when it’s needed, and respond intelligently to changing tariffs, grid conditions, and household demand.
This approach allows systems to operate more efficiently day to day, reduces reliance on the grid, and ensures the system remains useful as energy use evolves over time.
Storage-first design is what turns solar from a simple generation upgrade into a complete home energy system.
Designed individually. Delivered collectively.
Every Glow system is designed individually for the home — shaped by how energy is used today and how that use is likely to change over time.
Delivery, however, is coordinated collectively through Glow Networks.
By grouping homes within the same area into planned delivery windows, Glow is able to protect quality, improve consistency, and reduce unnecessary disruption. This approach removes many of the inefficiencies that come with one-off installations, without compromising on individual system design.
The result is a calmer, more controlled way of delivering complex home energy systems — with fewer variables and a higher standard throughout.
The Glow system range
Every Glow system is designed to the same standards and built around the same core principles. What differs is the level of capability designed into the system — based on how the home uses energy today and how that use is expected to evolve over time.
A refined foundation system, designed for everyday household energy use.
Glow One focuses on balanced capability, intelligent control, and long-term reliability — delivering a properly designed system without unnecessary complexity.
Typical system design
- Solar generation: 4–6 kWp
- Battery storage: 5–10 kWh
- Inverter: Single-phase · 3–6 kW
Enhanced capability with greater flexibility built in.
Glow Plus is designed for homes with higher energy use or clearer future plans, offering increased capacity and headroom without compromising system balance.
Typical system design
- Solar generation: 6–9 kWp
- Battery storage: 10–20 kWh
- Inverter: 6–10 kW · single- or three-phase
Maximum capability for demanding homes.
Glow Max is designed for high energy demand, electrified heating, and electric vehicles — where long-term performance and flexibility matter most.
Typical system design
- Solar generation: 9–15 kWp+
- Battery storage: 20–40 kWh+
- Inverter: Three-phase · 10–25 kW
Final system specifications are determined during the design process and vary by home, usage patterns, and future requirements.
Compare Glow systems
Glow systems aren’t pre-configured packages. This comparison shows how each system is designed to scale in capability — while always being tailored to the home.
Each Glow system is designed individually within these ranges, based on the home, energy usage, and future requirements.
Optional system integration
Glow systems are designed as complete home energy platforms.
For homes that need more, we also support additional system integrations — specified and designed to work seamlessly with the core system.
These integrations are optional, and only included where they add genuine value to how energy is generated, stored, and used.
EV charging, designed into the system
EV charging can be included as part of a Glow system design where required.
Rather than treating charging as a standalone add-on, Glow specifies EV chargers in context — aligned with the home’s electrical supply, inverter capacity, and battery storage. This ensures charging fits naturally into the wider energy system, whether drawing from solar generation, stored energy, or the grid when needed.
Charging capacity is typically designed within a 3.5 kW to 22 kW range, depending on the home and usage requirements.
As with every part of a Glow system, EV charging is considered early, designed carefully, and delivered as part of a coherent whole — not bolted on afterwards.
How the right system is determined
There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all home energy system.
Glow designs systems by first understanding how a home actually uses energy — both now and in the future. This includes daily usage patterns, peak demand, and how energy requirements are likely to evolve over time.
Physical factors such as roof size, orientation, shading, and local grid conditions are also considered as part of the design process.
By bringing these elements together, Glow is able to design a system that is balanced, proportionate, and appropriate for the home — rather than one built from assumptions or fixed packages.
Installation & standards
All Glow systems are installed by trusted, accredited partners working to Glow’s standards.
Installations are planned carefully and delivered with attention to detail, ensuring each system is fitted correctly, safely, and in line with current regulations and best practice.
Quality is built into the process long before installation begins — from system design and component selection through to final commissioning. Glow works in partnership with accredited installers, industry bodies, and standards organisations, ensuring every system meets recognised UK requirements.
Glow Care & Long-Term Ownership
Installation isn’t the end of a Glow system’s lifecycle.
It’s the beginning of long-term ownership.
Every Glow system is designed, installed, and handed over with the expectation that it will operate reliably for decades — not just the first few years.
After installation, Glow remains accountable for system performance through ongoing monitoring, clear ownership records, and defined aftercare processes. This includes structured check-ins, visibility over system health, and a clear route for support if performance degrades or issues arise.
Glow systems are not “fit and forget” — but they are designed so homeowners rarely need to think about them.
When attention is required, it’s deliberate, calm, and handled properly.
Long-term systems deserve long-term care.
Aftercare at Glow is built into the system — not bolted on afterwards.
This approach applies to every Glow system, regardless of tier.
Who our systems are for
Glow systems are designed for homeowners who value quality, clarity, and long-term performance.
They’re for people who want their home energy system designed properly — not rushed, not oversized, and not driven by product bundles or short-term incentives.
If you see home energy as long-term infrastructure rather than a quick upgrade, Glow systems are designed for you.
