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.

The difference between Glow One, Glow Plus, and Glow Max isn’t the quality of the system — it’s the capacity and headroom designed into it.

Each tier is the outcome of design, based on your home, usage, and future plans.

 

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.

Installed properly from the start

Small details often determine whether a solar installation ages well or begins to deteriorate over time.

Every Glow system includes integrated solar skirting as standard. This discreet aluminium perimeter protects the space beneath the panels while maintaining a clean, architectural finish to the array.

Unlike exposed wire mesh used on many installations, solar skirting forms part of the system itself — preventing birds from nesting beneath the panels while remaining durable, secure, and visually considered for the lifetime of the 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: 3 – 6 kWp
  • Battery storage: 10 kWh
  • Inverter: Single-phase · 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 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: 10–25 kW Single-phase

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.

Glow System Energy Comparision Table

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

Installing a home energy system is only the beginning of its lifecycle.

Glow systems are designed to operate quietly for decades, supporting the home’s energy needs year after year. Glow Care ensures every system continues to perform as expected, giving homeowners peace of mind that support is always there when needed.

Glow Care combines thoughtful system design, quiet monitoring, and occasional human check-ins during the early years of ownership.

As part of Glow Care, homeowners benefit from:

  • A short check-in shortly after installation
  • Early ownership system visits during the first years
  • Ongoing system monitoring for peace of mind
  • Occasional seasonal guidance to help get the most from the system
  • Recommendations for trusted maintenance partners where needed

Solar systems typically require very little maintenance. Glow Care simply ensures that if attention is ever needed, homeowners have clear support and trusted advice.

Glow systems are built to last. Glow Care ensures they continue to perform exactly as intended.
