Simple Solar

Simple Solar is a Plymouth-based solar energy company founded by Dan Barnes and Ben Quick, operating from Unit 1a Foley Lodge, Chittleburn Business Park, Brixton, Plymouth, Devon, PL8 2PH. The company has been installing solar panels across the South West for over ten years and has surpassed 500 installations across homes and businesses in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, and Dorset.

The company holds MCS, NICEIC, RECC, CHAS, and TrustMark accreditations, making it one of the most fully certified solar installers in the Plymouth area. This ensures every installation is eligible for the UK Smart Export Guarantee and meets all quality and safety standards. Simple Solar designs and installs solar PV systems, battery storage, and EV chargers for residential and commercial customers.

The founders bring backgrounds in engineering and renewables, and have built the company on a straightforward principle: make solar simple, honest, and accessible. Their team handles the entire process — initial survey, system design, installation, commissioning, and aftercare — using only qualified in-house engineers. The business has grown to serve clients across Somerset and Dorset in addition to its core Devon and Cornwall market.

Customer reviews consistently highlight Simple Solar’s clear communication, tidy workmanship, and practical handover — including battery setup guidance and minor remedial roofing work where needed. Reviewers report significant reductions in energy bills following installation.
